Fun fact: The earliest known cigar is from an image on a 10th century Mayan pot. So if cavemen smoked cigars, they probably used their caves as humidors, but this is purely speculation on my part.

Another fun fact: It’s also highly unlikely cavemen ever used clubs.

The ad copy:

A cigar brings out the Caveman in you

There’s a man-size feeling of power in smoking a cigar. Because cigars give you a psychological lift along with flavor and satisfaction. Yet you needn’t inhale to enjoy them…and no other pleasure so great costs so little. Try a few cigars today and…Get that good cigar feeling!
