In the process of weeding through stacks of Playbills and concert programs - a quarter century's worth - I came across this ad from the early Eighties. It looks bizarre in any number of ways now. Who'd smoke a cigarette in a locker room? And how long has it been since such a "regular guy" look has appealed to advertisers?

Does the brand still exist? Apparently so, if you can live without the "Deluxe."

smoking is gross no matter where you do it. this is a freakish example. especially given that I thought it was Will Ferrell and was mildly disturbed by such a site.
