Subject: long cigarettes

Written By: Barbara Cody on 04/01/04 at 02:38 p.m.

There was a commercial when 100 ml cigarettes first came out called "the disadvantages of you" where people were always bumping into people's stomaches, for example, with their cigarettes because they were so long.  I found it hilarious.

It was Mores brand ciggies that looked like anorexic cigars.
But as the old Winstons slogan went:
"It's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long!"

Yeah, there was a brand that were 101 millimeters long.  They were called "101's".  The ad campaign said "Just a silly millimeter longer".

It was a fun way to clog up your lungs.  ;) :D :P

Remember the old Benson & Hedges commercials?  I still remember the one where the guy gets on to a crowded elevator with a cigarette and the doors close on it.

Yes. And the Benson & Hedges commercial with the potter who is smoking a Benson & Hedges, and he gets to close to the pot he is turning on the wheel, and his cigarette gets caught on the unfinished pot, and it is now going around and around with the pot.

Which reminds me of those old Kent cigarette commercials. "To a smoker it's a Kent."

Which reminds me of those old Lark cigarette commercials. "Have a Lark. Have a Lark. Have a Lark today."

Which reminds me of that parody of the old Lark cigarette commercial by Stan Freberg for Jeno's Pizza Rolls w/ Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels.

Just ROTFL! One seldom sees anything like them today.
