MODEL smoking tobacco

Posted by aboutpipes on March 29, 2008

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!

MODEL SMOKING TOBACCO
IN POUCH OR TIN

From popular science magazine 1934.

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

Posted by aboutpipes on March 29, 2008

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.
THE NATIONAL JOY SMOKE
