Check it out! £25 from eBay. Completely knackered apart from one cigar but a nice bit of history. Botterill closed doors in the 1930s so these are at least 85 years old
Hi buddy. Sorry I didn't reply at the time as I missed your post!
Nah, don't think I'll bother smoking one. They're pretty buggered to be honest. Nice little piece to have through

Hi Steve I have smoked & 80yo Havana & one 100yrs old! The former was actually a decent smoke, with more flav than I could have hoped for. So I had a wee bit of hope for the later. Although it was smokable it was pretty tasteless but a privilege to smoke a pair with my Belgian herfing buddy.
Of course, the fact is these cigars looked old but intact & had obviously been cared for, as we know, that makes all the difference, especially the older the cigar.

That's great at least one of them smoked well Simon.
I think my oldest ever was a Monte2 from the 70s. It was in perfect condition and still had lots of bouquet but unfortunately it was a bit bland.
Clearly these have been left in a shed or in airing cupboard but as they were so cheap I thought it worth a punt
