So I may be stretching the morbidity link here but whatever, this is awesome. I'm doing work experience in an advertising agency that covers Chesterfield cigarettes. Now almost entirely unsmoked elsewhere, they continue to prosper here in the land of baguettes, berets and copius armpit hair. But that's not the point; the point is that 50 years ago these babies were the third most popular cigarette brand in the USA, and were publicly endorsed by James Dean and Ronald Reagan. And this old poster is fucking sweet: Reagan kicking back at Christmas time with several cartons and a reef for company. 'Tis the season.
