Is it.. not normal.. to lick your pipes?

Oh man.. it's threads like this that reassure me that I am not alone.

This ad would cause an uproar if it ran today.

There's a whole series of those Tuxedo ads from the mid 20s. This one is 1926.

The "Jimmy Pipe" Prince Albert ads were popular for a number of years. I think the earliest I have is 1911 and this one is 1921. I am amazed at how slang heavy the copy is!

Maybe they were trying to break into a younger, more hip market. I like the daylight savings time reference.

I just realized that I have a fair number of old Bulldogs like the one in the ad. Good smokers every one!
