Puros Y Vino

Looks like there might be a whole book on this too. https://books.google.ca/books?id=iS78AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA240-IA8&dq=Wills+castella+cigars&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&ovdme=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjmkJDTupyOAxVMFlkFHZ7uCTEQ6AF6BAgMEAM#v=onepage&q=Wills castella cigars&f=false

Montecristo Petit Edmundo

From Country Life 1965

A fitting Canada Day smoke. The VR XV Aniversario

IIRC, the "Commodities" might be related to mining. There's a Canada operation called Sherritt in Cuba mining Nickel. I've even got a few of their company branded cutters and glass humijars. https://sherritt.com/operations/

Monte 1, 4, Especial have always done right by me. The A is worth saving. Such an epic cigar. Smoking one feels like you've won the World Series. If I could have a 5th, it'd be the MPE, which I'd swap out for the Monte 4.

Your first post. Welcome. Some bad news though. We cannot see the pictures. Try to save as JPG and re-up if you can.

I found out about that search for old Cuban ads and came across this. And IIRC, someone may have posted his here not too long ago. Would love an original poster of this.

One of my mainstays (5 boxes worth). I am surprised by how many I know that find it mediocre.

A couple of beauties tonight. 2014 LGC No.2 2011 RASS from a 50 cab

Well. Those things she's wearing on her feet are called skates. People skate where the climate in Winter allows for bodies of water to freeze enough to allow for safe skating. Not a "Winter" where it gets to lows of 12C and the locals think the world is coming to an end. 🤪 /endsmartass comment. My take on this is that a "proper" lady has to hide cheroots in her boots if she wants to get a smoke in with minimal judgement. Also, nice design touch in that each ad stands alone and framed by foliage and trees on their own, but together the central tree is fully formed when combined.

I've seen this before. I could swear there was a Lamborghini variant as well. Looks like something that would have been sold on Ali Express. (Not there now)

Not a box but an ad. 🫣

The fabled Candela craze from the early 1900's?

Congratulations to you both @JohnS Looks like a great outing.
