Just smoked a 1960's Flor De Cuba that was gifted to me by Mitch (thanks Mitch). It was the first "vintage" cigar I have ever had. It had some amazing flavors that left a clove like numbness in my mouth. It wasnt the taste just the feeling? I was wondering how many other guys have had experiences with vintage cigars and what the thoughts were?

Certifiable.
Mitch is a stand up brother, glad you enjoyed marty.
I have others that I will post a review on, but for that first one, I really just wanted to enjoy it. That smoke enjoyed only with a glass of water on a warm night was amazing.

the ventage stuff i have had has all been quite good. Some Cubasn from the 70's and 80's and then a coule clear havanas from the 40's or so. I just picked up some Vintage American stuff, though not Clear havanas, as they used domestic tobacco. They are smoking wonderfully.
LOL!! That was the very review that got me to this board to start with. Thanks again Brooks.
I've never had anything that old but the oldest cigar I've ever had was a 1975 Partagas Lonnie that was flawless.

RusselP & I had a pair of Thompson & Co Clear Havanas tonight - I think Mitch hooked that one up, unfortunately I don't recall the dates on these, but I'm sure they were in the 70-year old range!
We went out to an excellent Thia dinner with a good group of friends to celebrate his & his lady's birthday and then retired to our house for a relaxing evening - Russ & I enjoyed these old beaut's with some coffee & Boylan root beer.
They started a little bitter, but by the half way point, they smoothed out & showed some nice creamy flavors mixed with some cloves, honey, vanilla and pepper...
These are the good old days.
