Quote:

Take a look around sometime and see how many men are enjoying cigars. There's a good reason to. You'll find a size and shape to fit your face, your pocketbook. And Cigars give you complete satisfaction without inhaling. There are few pleasures so great that cost so little.

Comments:

A doctor stands next to his “little black bag” for house calls, as his nurse lights his cigar with an extra long match. The slogan likens smoking a cigar to wearing an expensive accessory: “wear a cigar…look smart smoke smart.” Not only is the cigar advertised as the healthy choice when placed in the doctor’s hand, but it is also advertised as a status symbol and an indication of intelligence.
