Popular Post El Presidente Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 From the pre embargo time when the factories were privately owned and a cigar merchant could go and have his own blend/cigar made. Generally they would pitch the concept to the different factories and then decide upon the best outcome in terms of cost and taste. I would love that world to come again. I have an inkling that it just may if I live long enough. These cigars were in beautiful condition. Held in the Fox keep. The period if I recall correctly was 40's & John Morgan & Sons Limited were liquor and cigar merchants. \ 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philski Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Wow. Glad it's not my choice whether to keep or smoke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benfica_77 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 That's amazing! Those cigars have been through quite a bit including probably a couple bombings if they are from the 40's! Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorPerfecto Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Holy cow those look so good. Yes I believe the handwritten code on the label indicates March 1, 1945! 8 May, 1945 was V-E Day, so this would have been one of the last Cuban boxes delivered during the war.

SCgarman Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Would be a damn shame to die without smoking at least one of those! Why save 'em? Unless they are going to auction for a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoliDan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You could also have custom if you solicit the government directly. However, you need to be money-out-the-ears rich. https://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/topic/138608-cohiba-double-lanceros-unique-size-custom-made-for-uday-saddam-hussein/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to pull one out, cut and light it up. Otherwise, what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
