Can someone provide a translation of this old HK smoking ad?

Question

I came across this interesting smoking ad from Hong Kong, but while I understand a good number of the characters, its hard for me to piece together everything that is being said here:

From what I can see, it is written from right to left, the top part saying that it is a "golden brand" that smells good. The black box looks like it says its been preserved for three years and I'm guessing its from America (cant make out the part next to it but it looks like "sth...美國." The rest I'm mixed on understanding what it says.

Answer 1

Long gone are the days when companies would advertise cigarettes

You can see the brand is "World" on the package, 金牌 (Gold medal) is a Chinese name created by the Hong Kong seller

Answer 2

the text, and it’s interpretation is:

點解金牌濾咀香煙咁好味

why do the golden brand filter cigarettes taste so good

因為係選用經過

because it’s selected [from] processing

三年蘊藏嘅美國

3 years “storing” (i guess there should be a specialised term in tobacco industry) of american

“維珍尼亞”

virginia (a us state)

煙葉製成

tobacco leaf [for] fabrication

順喉・夠味

smooth throat, adequate flavour

美國金牌濾咀香煙

the american golden brand filter cigarettes

吸一支美國金牌香煙

inhale one, american golden brand cigarette

“吸” in “吸煙”, smoking cigarette is, vernacular chinese; in colloquial cantonese, we use “食煙” for cigarette smoking 😸

條氣順晒・乜都攪掂

feeling clam / better, everything’s all right

these two cantonese verses might be interpreted differently, depend son the context 😸

have fun :)
