nick17 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 i would love to get my hands of 10 or so of them and maybe smoke 2 just to see how they are or would that be just wrong to smoke something like that
j0z3r Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I don't know that I'd care to smoke one, that is to say I don't know that I'd care to pay for one, but that's an excellent piece of history. Thanks for sharing the video.
ZinZan Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 That was great video, thanks for sharing. Simon Chase mentioned the cigars needed treatment. I'm curious what kind of treatment or was the cigar dry.
cigcars Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Truly remarkable about how much history can be read, studied, and learned due to objects from that time period! We've gone over the 2nd War of Independence Cuba fought in 1895 thru 1898, the regular and preferred figurado shape of cigars from that period...Bances, Cabanas...(?)cigar brands that were no doubt excellent during that time period (I shudder at what Bances and non-descript of flavor Cabanas have become now in the 21st Century!) It's really a cause for awe in listening to and perusing the historical component just a cedar cabinet of fine luxury cigars can offer
Orion21 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I took from the video that the Humidor was in someones basement for over 60 years. I would imagine the cigars are very dry and need several years of proper storage to even be smokeable. Even then I can't imagine even the best kept cigar smoking well after 100 years. It might burn, but what flavors would be left? It's like try to drink a 100 year old bottle of wine that was kept is crap storage, more than likely it will be horrible.
