P.S. I hadn't originally put this in the post, but I'm adding it in now. I watched an Andy Williams Christmas special on PBS yesterday, so I wanted to share a clip from it with you guys. Here's Andy singing Silent Night.

As a graphic designer I really appreciated this post! LOL to the tagline, "Chesterfield: They satisfy."
Reagan's looking spiffy here, too.
Do we still have Chesterfield now? I don't see this brand anymore.
Love those ads... love the colors.
Wow, it's so weird to see cigarettes being advertised. An era long gone (which is not a bad thing, now that we know the consequences of smoking).
But still, they are fun to look at!
Hope you are well dear Keith!
xoxoxo
Great collection - smoke up for the holidays! Hope you're enjoying the weekend
The Reagan ad has always been my favorite! (Great compilation of Xmas smokes, by the way!)
Fabulous Xmas vintage feeling...Ha!
X♥X♥
I just love Chesterfield ads, they were the best!
Where do you find these images. They're classic.

Cool post, Keith!

These posters are awesome ; they don't make stuff like this anymore ! Wish we all had a little more Dean Martin or Dita von Teese in our souls ....hehe
I really like this post a lot! Even though I'm not a smoker, these ads are so fun and beautiful =) In these days when smoking is never advertised, it's pretty cool to see the ads from the past!
Hope you had a great weekend, Keith!
I like the Ronald Reagan one the best too. It looks like they cut and paste the cigarette to his mouth. Great stuff.

Look at all the vintage adds and designs.;) Beautiful.
First I thought you were talking about the Chesterfield sofas and furniture.;) They are classy and timeless as well.
Hope you had a great weekend,

Those are brilliant ads, I love them. Thanks for posting them - looking forward to more.
I have my mom's 1945 diary (she was 21) and she wrote that her sister gave her Lucky Strikes for a birthday present, and how nice that was. It really was a different planet back then, wasn't it?
Hope you had a great weekend, too :)
What a wonderful pictures. I like to see Bing Crosby with Chesterfield. I remember now another Chesterfield picture with Glenn Ford but it wasn't at Christmas time.
I just quit smoking, now i want a chesterfield, haha not really but great post
well i'm no smoker but i'll admit those ads are pretty awesome!
hope you had a fab weekend keith!
Wow, look how young Ronald Reagan looks!!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Have a super week.
Keith,
I like your sensitivity and enthusiasm for retro style, all categories. I love love love your collage as usual!
Unfortunately, I am no a great lover of Christmas, and I always flees to India... I will work two days more...... and then I will travel to Mumbai.
Peace & Love
Agneta, the swedish one o;)
These are pretty cool ads...back when cigarette advertising didn't come with a health hazard label..
I remember Chesterfield, these images are amazing! Great post!

I love vintage ads - thanks for pulling all of these together! Could you imagine a politician being featured in a cigarette ad now?
Keith, what a beautiful post, filled with Christmas spirit. Visiting your Blog always brings such a joy and warmth to my heart!"Chesterfiled" is my discovery of today - I have never heard this name before!
I love these ads. The Ronald Reagan one is also my favorite. You never seen cigarette ads anymore, but especially not ones like this. I love that Andy Williams clip. I'm glad you added it in. I saw that special too.
These are cool to see. I don't think I've ever seen any of them before. I love that video of Silent Night. That's one of my favorite Christmas songs.
Hello!!! I love ads!! I studied Advertisment at the Uni! I love old ads, they are real painted, not printed like today! the ones you posted are so pretty!! thanks for sharing! kisses!
The Reagan one is amazing-I'm sure that came back to haunt him! xo
Great find. I love these ads!
...and could you imagine if they tried to run cigarette ads featuring Santa Claus now?
Absolutely loving that Reagan ad! I think old cigarette ads are way too often brushed aside for what they advertise, but some of them are pure amazing. Loving this post :)
It's so weird to see such jolly advertisements being used to sell cigarettes! I'm not a fan of smoking; but I definitely love the vintage whimsy of these adverts!! :)
wonderful collection of classic ads!
This pictures make me to wait more and more the Xtmas.
Have a nice week!
Do we still have Chesterfield now? I haven't seen it before... I am loving all of these old school graphics and taglines!
Very stylish and super! Will listen to Andy when I get home! (I'm at work!) Looking forward to it!
so nostalgic!
Hey, too cool that we just saw that Andy Williams special on the other night. Great video. :) Love that song. :)
Those ad's are fab Keith, Almost Norman Rockwellish
Oh my- I love, love, LOVE this blog!
I'm not a smoker, but I am a vintage ad lover and thus adore these splendid adverts! There's so much history tied up in these festive ads, how can you not fall for them?
Wishing you the best holiday season ever, Keith!!!
