Advent 4

Are you a Wise Man? Do YOU smoke cigarettes?

No, me neither. But I used to and my favourite-evers were Camel Filters. Although I never had any packs with Christmas themed adverts on them like these ones, from RJ Reynolds in Germany I think.

I can't imagine many, or any, countries these days allowing a tie-up between tobacco and Christmas. It's still ok for alcohol, but not cigarettes, or even cigars come to think of it which always had a Christmas themed ad until the 90s I'd guess. I'll see if I can find a cigar advert for later on in Advent.

But for now we'll close with the Camels, associated with (it's said) the Three Kings. I hope they were Wise Men who soon gave them up.
