The slogan "Come to where the flavor is" invites readers into Marlboro Country, the open-range world that Leo Burnett's agency built for the brand beginning in 1954. That campaign turned a cigarette once marketed to women as a mild filter brand into one tied to rugged outdoor imagery and the cowboy figure now known as the Marlboro Man. Print ads like this one carried much of the campaign's weight, especially after cigarette commercials left American television in 1971. Worth noticing is how the copy sells a place and a way of life rather than the product itself.
