Absolutely brilliant collection of adverts. I dare say I remember them all! Superman. 'Never say yes to a cigarette' Russ Abbot and the Des O'Connor fish jumping out of the water - sublime 🤣
3:09 these adverts were almost tempting me to take up the stinky habit of smoking, but I was saved by Superman. Thank you Man of Steel! 🦸♂️
Cigar adverts they were always entertaining and I always used to think that classy people smoked them! Nico-teen and Superman, I loved those, well my bedroom was covered in Superman wallpaper! Great collection again. Thank you for uploading them.
Just 44p for 5 cigars,those were the good old days.❤
The good old days where people were stupid enough to smoke this shit.😂
and much better quality... for a quicker end! 😂😂😂
They were actually "slim panatellas". To call them a cigar, would be like taking a twig and calling it a log!
A friend of mine's husband smokes them, but they don't smell half as nice as they used to in the 'good old days'!
I still don't see what people (shall we say fellas?) get out of smoking them.
I believe, historically, panatellas were introduced in the Victorian era as a sort of 'ladies' cigar. Correct me if I'm wrong?
@@whitesapphire5865 In the US, they're called "cigarillos" when they're so thin and short.
@@jwb52z9 I've heard of cigarillos, but never knew just what they were. Similarly, I've heard of a cheroot but still none the wiser.
To me, they're all tobacco products, and outside of my own personal experience.
Classic Thumbnail, with the great Russ Abbott,
It’s funny, I always thought he would smell of tobacco.
The iconic hamlet theme tune
Got to love the RAC Piss take 😂
always love a good Des O`conner singing joke🤣
Morecambe and Wise would be proud.
After watching these adverts I could do with a rough shag right now. 🤣
I never took up smoking, although a few friends and I did go through a phase of smoking the odd cigar in a pub when it was still legal to do so.
Those Hamlet adverts were brilliant.
🤣🤣
🤣be gentle with me, I’m a mild Virginia! 😂
Good balance of cigar adverts and public information films.
The Fox and Hound, The Cat and Fiddle, The George and Vulture and indeed the Lung and Cough!
However did this get past the youtube thought police 👮♂️🚨? Actually they were some of the most imaginative adverts, and still some of the best remembered
the benson and hedges small cigar one was great... with mr peacock as well ;-)
the channel 4 logo hamlet one was inspired genius
I remember a few these adverts, especially the Hamlet ones. I used to collect the Gratis points from B&H, had loads of them. Wasn't old enough to order from the Gratis catalogue though so I had to get my nan to order stuff 😂😂
I forgot about the Gratis points! Thanks for bringing that memory back.
I don't know about anywhere else, but they're not called cigars in the US when they're so thin and short. In that case, they're called "cigarillos".
Its all about pipe tobacco and cigars😂😂
Roughly only 50 cents for 5 cigars?
I should've been born just 50 years earlier.
Really expensive at the time, I guess. On my first job just back in 1989 I was paid £1.80p per hour! Imagine that now. 🤣
11:22 was anyone else slightly freaked out by this as a kid?
Possibly, but I think I was a lot older when this came out. It is a bit creepy in a way.
Where was Superman when we were puffing away our cigs on the back of the school bus and behind the school wall .. eh, lol
He was too busy making movies.
Used to love a cigar years ago in my smoking days. Senator were my favourite. Mad to see that there never used to be a health warning on them and they were advertised on TV. Cigarette ads were allowed to be shown in the cinema up till 1990 I think? You watch, the next ban will be alcohols adverts
I've never really understood why cigarette ads were banned but cigars were ok.
@@RetroSteveUK They must of been classed as OK as most people didn't inhale the smoke?
Well, they’ve already cracked down on sweet adverts,… yup, that’s the obesity issue solved !
@@RetroSteveUKI think it was because few children would find smoking cigars and especially pipes an attractive prospect, while cigarettes were considered much more likely to appeal to those under the legal smoking age.
Seeing Walter Raleigh portrayed here very much has The Beatles playing through my head right now (no bad thing, mind), specifically John Lennon's voice singing, "although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette, and curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git" 😁
Cracking set. I was wondering if you were going to put the 'Pint & Castella' ad in there! Some classics there. I always thought Cigar smoking was far, far worse from cigarettes. At least from a smoke and smell perspective anyway!
I wonder how my late grandad (my mother's dad) would find the modern world? He had probably been smoking from the age of 14 onwards, puffing on 40 a day. Only giving up far too late when his legs started seizing up through to lack of circulation. This led eventually to Gangrene in one of his toes. He had part of his leg off, but the damage was too extensive and he died in Hospital in 1987 aged 70 years.
My old man was a light smoker, only having a 'ciggy' at the pub occasionally, and he used to have a Cigar at Christmas. My mom has never smoked.
All television commercials for cigarettes were banned on 1 August 1965, while TV adverts for loose tobacco and Cigars continued until 1991.
I never really understood why the differentiation was made between cigs and cigars in the advertising ban.
Interesting collection. If f I'd have seen the Superman advert when i was a child rather than an adult, or if I'd understood (when I was 14) what John Lennon meant when he said "Curse Sir Walter Raleigh he was such a stupid git....." there's a possibility I may not have started smoking, which I've been powerfully addicted to all my life with all attempts at quitting having failed miserably. I blame the Consulate Cool As A Mountain Stream advert from the 1960s for making the idea of becoming a smoker so very attractive. However, at the time, most people did smoke so it didn't seem to be a big deal......just something that pretty much everyone did without thinking about it.
I think those Superman ads definitely had an effect on me. They used to be shown around Christmas time in the ads during the Superman films on TV. Ultimately though, the thing that stopped me taking up smoking was growing up with two parents that smoked, and having no choice but to live with that. A house full of smoke every day growing up has given me a hatred of smoking.
@@RetroSteveUK I suppose I just thought it was normal as my whole family, extended too, smoked like troopers. I just wish I'd never have started, although I'm now nudging 70 and so far have suffered no ill-effects from it. It's a horrible habit/addiction though and I admire anyone who never started, and maybe even more, who has managed to successfully give up.
Actually if you look at the Hamlet ad at0:42, the motorbike was so close to the edge of the road that if the sidecar HADN'T come loose it would have gone straight into the earth bank and overturned at the very least, and probably into the signpost. It avoided a probably much worse accident there. Or am i analysing this too much? 🤔
One can never have too much overthinking. Well, yes one can, but still .. nice observation! 🤣
Long, firm, satisfying.. LOL OK
Indeed. 🤣
Tobacco you will get the snowflakes triggered lol
It's like they're trying to erase history, so young people think we never smoked years ago 🤣
Because young people now have got the Education on health that you never had. You must be very angry deep down about what your government did to you and your body and mind.😕😰
lol thats exactly what my dad would say to me back in the 80s he and mom never knew about the health risks in the 50s and 60s when they started smoking but we still did it because we were teenagers and unlike today we rebelled no snowflakes or woke back then and we never trusted the government which has served me well and I bet you have had all the jabs and boosters and deep down you know what your government did to you and your body and mind LOL
Historical documents. No more, no less. 👍 I tend to think of 'triggered' as more of a mental illness symptom than a derogatory term.
