Good old days ?.  Science has proven that nicotine does stimulate one's mind and makes you more alert.  Michael Jordan smokes 6 cigars a day and won 6 NBA titles.

Actually now he has Alex roll a special MJ23 double lancero for him. His man picks up several bundles every few weeks. There's even a special humidor he had made for them.

Managed to get my hands on a few. Long suckers for a tall man!

A friend of mine played golf with Jordan for 3 days around 2002ish, he said that he smoke Hoyo DC all day. They would play a minimum of 36 holes a day, Jordan smoked two DC per round. 

If I, on the other hand, smoked 4 DC back to back to back to back...wouldn’t be able to make it off the tee box.

That is craziness for sure!

[TBird55]

I love a good HdM DC, but I'm with you, even if well aged...no way could I smoke 4 back to back.

Hmmm... 

I am surprised that Google has not stripped 'retro' tobacco advertising from the net. Lord knows, some kid could see it and based on Fred Astaire's opinion, take up the habit...

Seems to me that not much has changed. Back then is it was generic doctors, now everyone from media personalities, sports figures, actors and all forms of scientists are preaching BS to support some interest or another.

The times will change and humanity remains the same!

What's scary is we are doing the same kinds of ads today. 

If you live in the States look at all the sugary food ads, followed the newest diabetes drug. 

In the UK it is gamble with us, but don't gamble too much, but if you do, gamble here.
