Here are few I found

Swedish snus

Recently I have become Swedish Snus fan. is a moist powder tobacco product that is consumed by placing it under the upper lip for extended periods of time. Swedish snus is made from air dried tobacco from various parts of the world. Swedish snus is a ground tobacco product dating from the late 1700s and is used orally. It is moist for easy use and contains four main ingredients. Selected tobaccos, water, salt, food approved humectants to preserve moisture and flavour additives which give each brand its unique character.

Last days I was recomended by friend of mine about http://www.buysnus.com/

They got very interesting offer and great service.

MODEL smoking tobacco

As you may see, here we have another funny tobacco ad.

You may differ with the traffic officer about the speed you were going . . . but you’re both likely to agree that MODEL is the best tobacco you ever bought for 10 cents. In pouch packages for men who like to dip in to fill their pipes, or in tins for men who like to carry tobacco that way. MODEL has everything—for 10 cents!

Women love the looks of a pipe in a man’s mouth

Here is and old Prince Albert ad, titled “Women love the looks of a pipe in a man’s mouth.”

Just look at that reaction— to the attraction of P.A.

P.A. means Pipe Appeal

Women love the looks of a pipe in a man’s mouth. They call it “impressive”.. .”smooth.” Like crisp linen, fine leather, good tweeds, a pipe is smart, manly, and…so comfortable!

P.A. means Prince Albert

Insure your PIPE APPEAL by loading that pipe with PRINCE ALBERT. Its fine fragrance makes your pipe smell as good to her as it looks. And your tongue will say “thanks!” for P.A.’s wonderful mildness. The real flavor of fine tobacco—and so gentle to your tongue.
P. A. is swell for roll-your-owns too. Crimp cut clings to the paper…rolls quick, easy, and firm.

Just a bit fun – pipe shoots through its stem

Here is very nice idea.

Though innocent enough in outward appearance, a novel type of firearm disguised as a smoking pipe serves as a formidable weapon when it is needed. The gun fires a .25 caliber cartridge. Its stem unscrews for loading, while the bowl of the pipe serves as a magazine for five extra rounds of ammunition. A knurled screw near the center serves as a trigger, and fires the pipe pistol when it is pulled back as illustrated in the photograph above, the user sighting meanwhile along the length of the stem. A German inventor is responsible for the unusual weapon.
