Advert is from 1940, so could be blended with some Cuban tobacco. They don't say what percentage...

In answer to the topic question...it depends how much you like Punch

There is *never* any truth in marketing.

Ok I lie. The sole truth is they try to get into your insecurities and your FOMO. That's it.

Great ad! Never saw this one.  Looks like he's driving a Lamborghini Espada.  Between the cigar and the Italian leather, the interior must smell divine!!

Haha, time wasted / well spent google image searching campaigns and ads for my favourite brands. They don't do ads like they used to! Hadn't thought of that in cars to aid pairing. Although there is no way id ever want to waste a good stick driving - I'd leave that to the pub / cigar lounge

Somewhere I still have an old cigar jar with White Owls circa that time. Guess I need to head over to Bond Roberts. Look for my listing: "Real Havana Flavor White Owls" starting bid: 900.
