Muriel Cigars

Edie Adams' early 60s Marilyn Monroe knock-off reached it's zenith as the Sexiest Sales-Seductress in television history, inviting men to:

And even if he didn't buy the cigar, a fella was likely to pick one up whenever Edie pitched the smoke...

She was still going strong with the shtick until 1965/66, with this cap from a commercial break during a Honey West episode...

...showing that even tho MM was long dead, men were fascinated to have various incarnations of the Tease Goddess sell them cigars and beat them up...

Two spots from 1965...

1)

Edie introduces her Feminine-ring cigar holder...

Come on baby, light my fire...

The men line up to get lit by Edie...

She does so enjoy lighting up a man...

And blowing them away in a cloud of smoke...

Has anyone ever been so seductive selling toxicity?

2)

Edie vamping in 3 hair colors...

Showing she can make any man's cigar big...

Lighting up a gent...

She eyes him expectantly...

Knowing she's making him happy...

A man smoking his own pleasure - masturbatory self-fellatio...

When Edie tells you to pick one up...

It stays up for sometime...
