He's usually seen squeeky clean and fit for a family audience but back in the day, Santa Claus loved having a good smoke and grabbing a piece of tail.

| Lucky Strikes, 1936. |
 |
| Lucky Strikes, 1930's |
He'll be coughing before he even reaches your chimney.
 |
| White Owl Cigars, 1940. |
"He'll purr like a kitten..."
 |
| Murad Tobacco |
Santa's looking a little sinister in this undated ad for Turkish brand Murad Tobacco.
 |
| Edgeworth Tobacco, 1935 |
A "right fine" Mrs Claus is on the mind in this ad for Edgeworth.
 |
| Camel, 1948. |
"Prince Albert"... before it meant that other thing.
 |
| Pall Mall, 1950. |
Throat-Scratch. You can get it from smoking cigarette brands that are not Pall Mall... or by engaging in too much oral. "Puff by puff... you're always ahead"
 |
| Mojud Stockings, 1951. |
Here, little St. Nick is gifted with a view that's worth more than a few presents of Mojud Stockings. Only coming around once a year allows you to be a pervert.
 |
| Griffin Microsheen, 1958. |
There isn't much of Santa to see here except his polished black boots (courtesy of Griffin Microsheen) and a shining good example of 1950's era sexism. Judging by the amount of detail visible under that girl's sheer, I'm tipping this appeared in a men's magazine like Playboy.
 |
| Marlboro |
And in case there was any doubt... We have Kris Kringle and his Marlboro's here, smoking up a pipe dream laden with lady curves.
Cheeky bugger!
Happy Holidays!
