Flickr: Those Swell Smoking Men
OK, so let me just be slightly politically correct and say that I do not encourage anyone to smoke ...but nor do think that we should hide the fact (see previous post) that many men used to smoked pipe in the old days. Smoking pipe was an important symbol of maturity, manliness, distinction, class, wealth, reliability etc.

Controversy: Ceci n'est pas une pipe!

"...new posters for a recent Jacques Tati retrospective show the iconic Hulot without his pipe after the Paris public transport network (RATP) banned the picture, citing a 1991 law that prohibits advertising tobacco."
A drawing of Jacques Tati as Hulot (with his pipe) made by...?

Design: More Vintage Japanese Matchbox Labels
There's something special
about the graphic design of vintage Japanese matchboxes. These examples are from wackystuff's Flickr set called Cool Factor 5 (Matches).
Maraid has even more: japanese matchbox labels

Vintage Tobacco: Adamas Cigarettes
"The most famous, and much coveted, Danish billboard is the Adamas Cigarettes billboard from 1928 made by Johs. Thejll of Copenhagen for American Tobacco Company. It was drawn by the Danish advertising illustrator Aage Lippert." says Danish billboard collector Søren Christensen at his site Emaljskilte. (Enamel porcelain coated signs)
You will find a couple of signs on this page and one here and here . Evidently the Adamas character that was created became such a success that they published books about him. However, according to Christensen, the cigarette brand never became a big hit and it seized to exist in 1942.

Design: Vintage Japanese Matchbox Labels
No, this is not my own collection. Well, that is I have collected them, from the internet. I found them in October last year and I published them here and in Musselsoppans Vänner at the time. I just think they are extraordinarily beautiful and I was sad to see that the original link to them were dead. There were many more there but I'm glad I saved this many. Enjoy.

Design: Cigarette Packs
These two sites must represent the two most extensive cigarette pack collections on the internet (am I wrong?) : DesignBoom (via Coudal Partners) and La Saga Cigarette (a repost originally via NIBLOG). They are both very impressive.
After getting some inspiration go here and generate your own cigarette pack.
