Comments:
This ad claims that “many doctors are smokers of Waitt & Bond;s Wabon Panetela,” because the doctors realize that mild cigars ease their nerves. Not only is the cigar presented as healthful, by being attributed to doctors, but it is also attributed to other well-educated men like lawyers, “business-men of high rating” and even clergymen! The cigar is advertised as making “smoking a calm, soothing, and harmless pleasure.” The ad goes on to claim that instead of causing irritation, this cigar in fact dispels irritation.
