I'm not a smoker. But from a design perspective, I love this. Love the typeface, love the Art Nouveau illustration on the package, love the pastel color scheme. I even love the little designs on the tip of the cigarette. You'd expect these cigarettes to smell like rose petals or something.

I always found those very graphically similar to the orginal Clairol Herbal Essence (http://www.stuckinthe70s.com/images/clairolherbal.jpg) campaign. I loved that shampoo, which really did smell like herbs, not like the weird fruity stuff they now sell under that brand name.

I LOVED that old Herbal Essence! I had a nice, green, grassy-herb scent. I don'l like the fruit scents much.

As for Eve cigarettes..my friend Barbara smoked them just because she liked the way they looked--I never thought about it much, but looking at them, yeah, they are visually appealing and in that same way the old Herbal Essence was.

The box art and colors look somewhat like your user icon.

Very few ads or ad campaigns work on me, but this one? Yeah, I was about 15 and Eves were the first cigarettes I smoked.

I agree XD

They were very enticing! I remember them well.

As a kid I remember trying to get my mother to switch brands, because I thought Eve cigarettes were so pretty.

Man, why don't they sell prettily-wrapped cigarettes anymore? I smoke clove blacks just because they aren't ugly-looking like white-with-an-orange-filter cigarettes are. And yes, I've looked about. Nat Sherman's colours-with-a-gold-filter aren't much better, since I don't like gold. XD

I wonder what Eves tasted like....
