UGGGGGHHHHH !!!!

Pretty cool from the history aspect of it.

 

[bugbear]

tempting......

A few guys here have purchased from Mark. Most of his cigars are checked for accuracy/ hx in aging before he even purchases them from a third party. He also gently raises RH over a two year time period before being available for sale to the consumer/collector. Some of his white owls from the 50s were very good a couple years back. (with cuban tobacco of course)
Edit: Just don't expect anything near a new/slightly aged (5-10) Habanos.

That would be a fun smoke, for $65 I'm seriously tempted to buy a 5er.

I have like 75ish of these from various decades I have collected over the years...while a few were good, most are absolute shite...Cool to smoke though

 

[bundwallah]

Very interesting.

Do they ship discretely?

 

[icehog3]

I still have a few of these, and have smoked several ... even though some have fairly muted flavors, it is amazing to see how a 50 - 70 year old (and some older) cigar can still can be a decent smoke.

No need to...pre 1962 Cubans are legal

 

[javajunkie]

Very interesting.

actually, as pre-embargo, this would be completely legit for the state side. unless it is in-house discretion? hiding from john law and hiding from the wifey are COMPLETELY different conversations.

LOL. I should've clarified. As a Canadian, will they put "cigars" anywhere on the package, manifest, etc? Tax implications of course. :bigeyes:

 

[AlohaStyle]

Yeah, just cuz it's old doesn't mean it's worth buying. If it was a crappy cigar back then, it's an even crappier cigar now.

 

[RaschNuts]

For $65 why not try 70yr old DM's

 

[SDShark]

so so tempting because the price isn't outrageous ... I wonder what price says about quality?
pretty cool though.

This thread reminded me I had a few of these somewhere, and I tracked them down...I have another bag, have to find it, but this is what I found quickly...

Those actually look.............AWESOME...... Cool

 

[whodeeni]

Now we know where "La Palina" came from! ;-)

 

[Nuckz23]

Wow that Garcia at the end looks tasty!

[Poriggity]

I will say, I will not pay $65 for a 5 pack of cigars that are old. Especially ones that were crappy when they were new, they gotta be crappier now! I can think of a lot better cigars I'd buy for $65/5 pk.

I don't know you, Tom, but I know several people who do. If you like them, they are likely worthy. I might just grab some.
