[TJCoro]

:hmmmm2: What's interesting is that the Natividad used "imported filler." Imported from where, I wonder? :dontknow:

:bandit:

[SteveGriff]

The Jose Grande brand packaging looks familiar slightly to the Ramon Allones...

[HabanoSy]

Pinar sells pre-embargo Cubans through Tinderbox. The filler, wrapper and binder are all from 1956 I believe. The U.S. Courts recently ruled in favor of letting the company begin to roll and sell 50,000 pounds of tobacco they have been storing since 1956 and the cigars are about $20 a piece. I know you can order them online at the Tinderbox location in Charleston South Carolina. I just bought a couple when I was there last week. They are very good, rich smokes even after 50 years. :849:

[TJCoro]

Had one tonight, senor :mullet: larryboy.

It was okay, but can't say I liked it as much as you.

I ain't no Monty Sublime EL 08, which you can get for the same price.:41:

But that's just me, :bandit: TJ, TJCoro, and I'm really, really sorry about the shitty pics. To lazy to get my camera.

That is truely amazing, I had no idea that cigars as old as these would still be around for regular folks to pick-up, as long as you don't mind the high price. Being a newbi to the cuban cigar scene, I wouldhave thought that private collectors from all over the world would have bought up most of these.

:nerd: Two Questions Sir:

1) Who ya' callin' "regular folk" senor BrewCrew? :cool:

2) Where the hell are you from...California or Texas :dontknow: PICK ONE!!! :41:

Names :bandit: TJ, TJCoro, and sometimes I rank on the newbies!:o

Thing is, it's really hit and miss with these; they can be amazing, but they can also be barely smokable! It's a risk that's for sure.

The "collectors" as you say, have probably got most of the really good stuff between them I would say (mostly Dom Perignon and Davidoff's I think).

A lot of it comes down to how they've been kept down the (many) years.

Lot's of people believe that a cigar begins to "lose it" after about 15 years anyway, although there are exceptions.

Finally, pre-embago and Cuban government intervention, there were literally hundreds of brands, so it's a minefield!

[kingcohiba]

ive had a few of these and they are not too bad. they are nothing to write home about either. some of them are 100% cuban tobacco and some are blended with tobacco from other places like honduras, nicaragua, or the dr. havent had one in a few years. will look for some next time i go to the city.

[kona peaberry]

Those pre embargo not bad, I have alot of different brand boxes, but my hoyo, partagas and Bock etc are much better. :smile:

[kona peaberry]

Embargo Punch Londres Extra.

[Gary]

Kona are those still smokable and if so I could of helped you get rid of a few when I was in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago :biggrin1:

[kingcohiba]

Embargo Punch Londres Extra.

did you just buy those off of ebay? i bid on the box of hoyos but somebody outbid me.....could it have been you??? haha

[kona peaberry]

Gary, anytime you're in my waters, let me know. I'll be happy to have a few smokes with you :smile:. Btw, they are a good smoke right now, can you imagine back in the 1920s and 40s when this cigars was smoking back then.

[kona peaberry]

1920s Lord of England 50ct boxs, cigars are in prestine condition, most of it life was in wine cellar to my temp control.

[ACMCC]

Be interesting to see what they smoke like, be hard to break a full box though, who made them for Lords of England I wonder? :biggrin1:

[kona peaberry]

Ebay?, I've been owner of this boxes for years, someone might had stole my pictures. I have some of those pic's up on other boards also. I don't buy from Ebay.
