@mss2400 I remember cigar commercials into the late 70s and maybe up to 1980. Jimmy the Greek's segment on the CBS NFL pre-game was sponsored by Dutch Masters.

@smittykins I know cigarette ads were banned Jan. 1, 1971, and I'm sure that smokeless tobacco [snuff; chew] was banned in 1987. Cigars, I think, were somewhere between those years. However, just a year or 2 ago I remember hearing some Black & Mild cigar ads on radio, which is regulated the same as television. Not sure how those came about.

You got that right ! Billy Kilmer was his boy, and Allen tried to create a rivelry between them. Never happened .

Correct. Cigar commercials were phased out more slowly than cigarette commercials.
Give the man a cigar! :)

that was coach George Allen with Sonny

Sonny J. later was a sportscaster for WTOP/WDVM/WUSA CBS 9 Washington, D.C.

Actually, I think that Cigar commercials were on television well into the 1970s. If Susan Anton was pitching Muriels, it had to be later than 1971.

January 2, 1971.
Sonny Jurgensen and George Allen actually couldn't stand each other.
But I guess it was easy money.
