The lower headline answers "No! as the picture shows a lady with a surprised look on her face as a male hand holds a lit Tiparillo temptingly in front of her. The text explains its negative answer by saying that the reason that only men should smoke Tiparillo's is that the demand has become so high for this product that if women were smoking them too it would become "...every man for himself". |

| Tiparillo |
Black and white 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad that seeks to determine "Should a Gentleman offer a Tiparillo to a Lady?". The large picture shows a stylishly-coiffed lady, identified as actress Tammy Grimes, pondering a lit Tiparillo that has been placed in front of her by a male hand. Her expression is a puzzle; it shows a little bit of anger and a bit of insult yet her lips seem to be parting just a bit as the pearly-tip sits just inches away. The text reasons that "It all depends on the lady. If she happens to be the high-spirited type, she'll probably offer you one". The text mentions that many of the hostesses of 1964 are filling their silver cigarette boxes up with Tiparillos and, as far as should you offer a Tiparillo to Tammy Grimes, the ad wonders "will she call you an ol' coward if you don't?". |

Why are Tiparillos the last word in smoking pleasure? That neat, trim look is one reason. That pearly white tip is another. But most important today, Tiparillos give true satisfaction without inhaling. And all credit to the meticulous blending of the choicest Robt. Burns tobaccos." |

The conversation reveals that Mr. Cohen has been a top-notch fiction writer and he has been going to Cuba for rest, relaxation and time to work on a new series. Owl offers him a White Owl and the man is impressed with it, claiming that "it is a lot milder than the all-Havana cigars of Cuba - but it sure has a real Havana flavor". The ad says that "Mr. Cohen is known to his friends as a "Havana commuter" because of the frequency of his trips to Cuba. A connoisseur of fine Havana tobacco, he knows intimately the rich taste of a good cigar. Note what he says about the new White Owl. The new blended-with-Havana White Owl does have a rich Havana flavor - thousands of smokers will go along with Octavus Roy Cohen on that. And the fact that you now can get this preferred cigar taste in a good 5 cent cigar accounts for White Owl sales record. Are you missing out on this cigar "find" of the year?". |

This ad starts off with the headline "Back From Havana: Jules Glaenzer quickly spots Havana Flavor in New White Owls". The two pictures at the top of the ad have a conversation between Mr. Owl and Mr. Glaenzer starting with the first picture. Mr. Owl says "Hello, Mr. Glaenzer. You look tanned and healthy...Did you enjoy your vacation in Havana?" and, he responds "I certainly did! Never felt better". In the second picture, Mr. Owl speaks first saying "You're famous as a lover of fine cigars, Mr. Glaezner. You must have sampled plenty of those Havana cigars." to which he replies "Yes - I tried many different kinds". In the third picture in the center of the ad, Mr. Owl then says "Then, would you please try one of these new White Owls? Tell me if it has that real Havana taste" to which, Mr. Glaenzer, after several puffs, says "Let's see now...Yes...This White Owl is milder than a Cuban cigar - but it has the true Havana flavor all right". The text claims that "Mr. Jules Glaezner, Vice-President of Cartier, Inc., New York's exclusive jewelers, recently returned from a voyage to Cuba. We met him while the memory of Havana cigars was still fresh in his mind. He told us without any doubt that the new White Owl had the fine Havana taste of cigars he had enjoyed in Cuba. And when you try the new White Owl with its blended-with-Havana filter, you'll agree with Mr. Glaezner.
