Happiness is a Cigar Called Hamlet

Post by Ek Kanya »

Loved these old commercials:

Part four of a collection of adverts from Hamlets Cigars.Taken from the Hamlet Cigar Video released in 1992.

A classic piece of advertising for Hamlet directed by Graham Rose. Gregor Fisher, lately of Rab C Nesbitt fame, sits astride a photo booth stool. He combs the few remaining strands of hair he has over his bald pate and puts his money in the slot. Nothing happens. He leans forward and gets snapped. He waits again. Nothing. Leans forward again and gets snapped. Third time lucky? The stool drops and the camera snaps the top of his head. He lights his Hamlet. Hamlet: Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet.
