MahDooRow Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have no idea how I stumbled onto the web page for a 2016 auction of some very odd Elvis Presley memorabilia, but I did. One of the items was a broken cigar given to a fan the night of October 4, 1976. What kind of cigar is this? It looks absolutely horrible! Here's the write-up from the web page: An Elvis Presley cigar given to a fan on October 4, 1976. On that evening, Presley went out at 3:30a.m. and happened to meet some of his fans when he stopped at Vickers Gas Station. While speaking to them, he lit this cigar and noticed it was broken in the middle. A fan who was there, Betty Page – author of I Got Ya, Elvis, I Got Ya, acquired the cigar that night. Accompanied by the original Tobacco Corner Ltd. label and a letter of authenticity from Stephen Shutts. Length, 6 1/2 inches Another item included in the auction was a pair of the King's "tighty whities". The winning bid was $2,560. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danimalia Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Looks like a Villiger dry cigar. I haven't had one of those with the funky tip, but I've had some of the little Villiger Export box-pressed guys, and they were an enjoyable enough cheapie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JR Kipling Posted February 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2017 That's nothing. I bought one of Fidel's half smoked cigars off of a guy on the beach at Cabo. - - Good price too.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
