Vintage Pre-Embargo at Gotham Museum

[CWS]

I saw this on Cigar Encylopedia and checked the site. Some very old and different pre-embargo and clear stuff being sold.

Oh Chuck, might want to clean that up per BOTL guildlines

Does that apply if they are legal Steve? :dunno:

I have no idea.

Pretty neat otherwise Chuck.

Some of those babies looked like they would crumble to dust if you touched them let alone smoked one.

They have a warning about actually smoking them. :rofl:

Interesting point. Since these are legal and it really doesn't seem to be a source but rather an event, seemed OK.

Boy you are right Shawn. Maybe it's the photo quality, but some of them look drier than the Sahara desert.

I smoked a pre-embargo smoke the other day. A light delicate flavor, very floral, still had some "pop" to it as well. I did not consider it strong or full, but the flavor right off the top was, I AM CUBAN (even after 50yrs), and a creamy/velvet taste/feel from the cloud it produced. I finished the tiny smoke, and half way through a fresh R & J #4, I could still taste the pre-embargo. Amazing long finish that I've never had with any other smoke.

Very cool description Johnny!

Thanks for the link Chuck

Some certainly do look bad and I don't think these would be bought to smoke but to just have in the collection.
