Because there is nothing a woman likes more than a man who blows cigar smoke in her ear.
No woman ever says no to Winchester.
Take a puff. Blow in her ear. And she’ll follow you anywhere. Because one whiff of Winchesters sexy aroma tells her everything she ever wanted to know about you. But was afraid to ask. It tells her you’re a man, but a man of taste. A taste for mildness. Lightness. She takes a puff. Winchesters filtered smoothness tells her its not a cigarette. Not just another little cigar. It’s a whole ‘nother smoke. And she knows that you know: where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Winchester. It’s a whole ‘nother smoke.
1973 R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.
Cool! I recognize Farrah Fawcett. One of the few women in the 70’s who looked good without makeup. Major babe.

Hey, big boy, is that a portable oxygen tank you’re dependent upon due to emphysema, or are you just happy to see me?

Ho. Lee. Moses! I hadn’t thought of those Winchester ads in a million years. This brings back a flood of cheesy-good memories.
Personally, I think the retro-babe hanging on Winchester dude’s right shoulder needs a tad more eye makeup. She’s *this* close to being Ziggy Stardust.

Why does every guy from these 70s ads look like he came straight out of a cheap porno movie? “Take a puff and blow it in her ear”, yeah, that’d work really well these days.

I’m afraid a lot of us looked like that back then, or and this is the worst part, tried to.

dammit, that’s where I’ve been going wrong. Note to self: blow smoke in chicks’ ears next time…

@Buddy: I think the Winchester Man is Lee Majors, too. Did they meet on this shoot, I wonder?

So this was the cigar Bill Clinton was smoking?

When I saw the title of the article in the feed list I thought it’s an old ad for rifles.

“Blow cheap cigar smoke in her face: she’ll love it!”
I’d like to know what the copywriter was smoking when he came up with that idea.

Oh, and Farrah did look good without makeup. She’s wearing half a ton of it here, though.

This has got to be the most blatant case of false advertising until the advent of those AXE body spray commercials.

How did the 70’s happen? There’s nothing quite like it.
I love the phrase “a whole ‘nother smoke.”

HOw did the 70s happen? LSD hadn’t been criminalized in the 60s when these trends started. If you want an example of how bad the 70s really were, check out the interiors at
