   I love those old advertisements!

   It really makes me wish that we lived in simpler times like those.

   [...] All you have to do to disprove the "old-guy" image is to go back to images of the type of advertising that was in use from the 1950s and 1960s and you will see plenty of examples of younger guys and their pipes. In fact if you were to believe the marketing in those days Mr. Average American had a pretty wife, 2 perfectly balanced children aged 9 and 10, lived in the suburbs and smoked a pipe. (Prince Albert Pipe Tobacco Ad from 1947) (Sir Walter Raleigh Pipe Tobacco Ad from 1959 ) [...]

   I prefer the 19th century image of the pipe smoker. When it was a true gentleman’s hobby.

   I fondly remember the SWR pipe tobacco TV commercial in which the dog thumps his tail twice in between “And now” and “It’s packed in a pouch.” No B&W TV sports event was complete without that and a Gillette commercial.

   I sent in for that booklet and I STILL HAVE IT ! I quit my pipe in 1986,and I quit cigarettes in 1981, but I still love “that stupid git” Sir Walter and his great tobacco…I just don’t smoke it anymore. I had about twenty five pipes and I kept but three for old times’ sake.
   Lots of fine memories of smoking my churchwarden , stuffed full of Sir Walter Raleigh.

   My quest is finially ended! I’ve been looking for the lyrics for a tobacco jingle I remembered as a kid, and this is it. “Smells grand, packs right, smokes sweet, can’t bite…and it stays fresh, so fresh in the pouch!”. Only I recall “tastes smooth” in place of “smokes sweet” on the TV commercial for some reason. I could be wrong though, anyone know for sure?
