From America, Mar 1959: Cigars ad from Cigar Institute of America (more at @OldInPrintAds.bsky.social) «A cigar brings out the Caveman in you»
An advertisement featuring a man in a suit holding a cigar and a club, standing next to a woman in a leopard print dress. Cave paintings are in the background. It suggests cigars offer a feeling of power and satisfaction without needing inhalation.

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!

US man issues challenge to disprove his claim of having world’s smallest penis to raise micropenis awareness
North Carolina’s Michael Phillips revealed that he had a 0.38in member in bid to reduce stigma of the condition A North Carolina man has challenged anyone on earth to disprove his claim of having the world’s smallest penis as he advocates against body shaming and aims to raise awareness about the medical condition known as micropenis. Michael Phillips, 38, threw down the gauntlet in an interview posted Friday on TMZ’s YouTube channel, in which he purported that his penis was 0.38in (0.97cm) when fully erect – and, holding up the fingernail on his right pinky to illustrate that length, added: “When it’s flaccid, it’s smaller than that.” Continue reading...

Labour minister Josh Simons resigns after falsely linking journalists to ‘pro-Kremlin’ network
