I can't believe how old I am. I remember this phrase so I dictated it to my phone, and this popped up. I didn't even realize it was a commercial. I just remembered praise. I thought it was from some movie.
I loved the follow-up commercial in the series. It was in color and the cigarette girl was singing the words. The guy pursued her and she gracefully danced out of his reach. That commercial made a MAN of me--and I was just a high school freshman!
I remember when you saw them everywhere back in the 1960s, while not many women smoked cigars, what few that did seem to choose tiporillo for the size and plastic tip. Men with the 5 pack in the shirt pocket were common. Funny, I don't think they are even sold anymore..
One of the few commercials I remember from the time they were new, I've been looking for this, I remembered the sleazy music from only hearing it maybe twice! Thanks for posting this!
Not only were they thinner but they knew how to be stylishly dressed. This is an interesting ad from the early 60's and for only one minute there is a lot going on if you watch carefully..the camera angles..the snippets of conversation..the dancing. There were some clever Madison Avenue touches here.. even the Egyptian motif of the club and the cigarette girl who bears a strong resemblance to Tippi Hedren. it all works.
how was the sales from this ads back then, do you have references to get back to ?, I am so young, these commercial older than me by 30 years, I have case study to see the old commercials if it worked or not
@@ahmedalhisaie7698 My response is a year after your question, but if you happen to see this, I hope it helps..To put this in perspective, In 1964 the U.S. government announced that cigarette smoking was linked to lung cancer, sure people of today know how bad smoking is for health, but the tobacco companies hid the facts, and payed millions of dollars to hide this information. When the facts came out it was a real shock. The first wave of people quieting smoking began. Many men switched to cigars as they are not inhaled in the lungs as cigarette smoke is. Again in todays world we know the dangers are far more than just lung cancer, but 1960's the facts were just getting released. Tiparillo was a major player in gaining the ex cigarette smokers switching to the safer cigar. The cigar company advertised very heavy and became famous for their tag line "should a gentleman offer a tiparillo to a lady". In later years it was revealed that the purpose was not to encourage women to smoke cigars, but to make men believe that women were accepting of a man who smoked this brand, knowing women over all hated the smell and even the image of cigars. The advertisements were very successful, and the smaller cigar with plastic tips from all cigar makers boomed. The boom lasted until the 1980's and the truth that all tobacco products are hazard to the health because common knowledge. Also by this time TV, radio, and print adds were forbidden by law.
Yes, Edie represented Muriel for over 15 years (and sponsored her 1963 ABC specials {"HERE'S EDIE"} and her bi-weekly 1963-'64 series). She did all that to pay off Ernie's debts......and acquire the videotapes of his 1959-'61 ABC "TAKE A GOOD LOOK" series and his 1961-'62 ABC specials.
It didn't seem too long ago when people were smoking on planes, in the movies, shopping malls/department stores and even hospitals. It was everywhere. I miss smoking, but not the addiction, cost, stained teeth, health, etc... It was a nice love affair we had with Tobacco... Oh, but the times have changed.
Believe me muck head it was elegant without trying. Because the pussification of America hadn't taken place at that time. It's your generation that exists now that caved to political correctness and the putrid phonieness and censorship of this sissified and cowardly generation. Especially infected with the must be a copycat member of the zero pop culture scene are the little leftist white fellas who couldn't defend a woman from a poodle.
Thanks for posting this vintage commercial!

I remember seeing that commercial on TV. as a child. How the years pass by. 😅

did it motivate people to buy ? did it work ? why we can't see it anymore ? I
They're still made & sold. Mostly found online though.
they are still made
Blacknmilds are the modern equivalent and even better. My gf only smokes them.
One of the few commercials I remember from the time they were new, I've been looking for this, I remembered the sleazy music from only hearing it maybe twice! Thanks for posting this!
I remember this!!!! Thank you!!!!!
“Should a gentleman offer a lady a Tiparillo?”
Is a woman still considered a lady if she demands a Tiparillo?
My friend would shop lift them when we were 10 yrs old.
did you smoke them ?
I remember this commercial but never knew what a Tiparillo was. My mom smoked Kent.
Not only were they thinner but they knew how to be stylishly dressed.

You are so, so wrong. It is the worse skinny curse of all time.

She kinda reminds me of Barbara Eden.
thinner and slowly dying from the Tiparillos

Opps...the actress isn't Barbara Eden, rather it's Penny Edwards. She was dubbed "The Tiparillo Girl"
If you are correct about the actress, sadly she died of lung cancer in 1998.
Everyone is dancing real smooth like a midlevel executive party. I dig that hitchhiker dance move. Cool!
@pastrygrl3 I could be wrong, but Edie Adams did the Muriel commercials. Mrs. Ernie Kovacs
Yes, Edie represented Muriel for over 15 years (and sponsored her 1963 ABC specials {"HERE'S EDIE"} and her bi-weekly 1963-'64 series). She did all that to pay off Ernie's debts......and acquire the videotapes of his 1959-'61 ABC "TAKE A GOOD LOOK" series and his 1961-'62 ABC specials.

Yup! 👍Now it's vaping !!!🤪💀💀💀
Cool commercial. Great 60s Mad Men vibe. I think the actress was Barbara Eden.
Mad Men was the copy., a pretty good copy. But this is the original 60s.
trying to pass off a 20 cent cigar as an elegant commodity.

Originally seen in 1965. Leon Janney, announcer.
I bet Fellini would have loved this.
People were a lot thinner back in those days....JS.
Everyone smoked back then. People who smoke don't gain weight.
By the way, I AM NOT DIANE! SHE IS MY WIFE! hahaha. JOHN RAGUSO
I want her voice on my GPS.
Looks like an old Playboy club ad.
I don't remember that music though.
hot song,hot chick, so what if smoking can kill you, just buy something!!
Gorgeous blonde photomodel
even a sweet little lung cancer has the right to live
like the ripple commercial
...all the right people. In other words, white women in cocktail dresses and guys in Mad Men suits.
🙄
I'm guessing she is Betty Whites age. I bet your Tiperillo's are shrinking at that thought.
I love the commercial, but give me a Tabantillas Churchill Sumatra any day!
Another age.
Is that an american commercial?
Yes.
Thanks
My uncle smoked these evil little deathsticks and died from lung cancer. I guess he wanted to be with 'the right people' in the marble orchard.
Back when women looked like WOMEN and wore a dress and did not constantly whine and bust balls.
they tasted and smelled terrible. it took this kind of psychological advertising for them to be remotely sellable.
