I saw the Hamlet cigar story on the CA news. I thought I post this link to some of their ads.
Some of these were very funny.
My favourite is "Pink Shiny Dome", about 4:55 in.

Those were cute. Notice how in the last 2 commercials they put in Smoking Causes Cancer?

You're right. Of course all of those commercials would now be illegal to show on TV, at least in this part of the world.

Wow. Thanks for finding those. What a delight it is to see a brand keep the same basic elements - music, voice over, tagline - for over 30 years.

Love the art direction if the first few black & white ones. Very simple and direct. I'm going to pass that link around the agency today.

I don't know, I think I would vote for "phonebooth" or "wall." Classics!
