look that cab construction! 

The ultimate 50 cab 

 

 

 

Lets see what information members can dig up on these cigars

That glassine paper is like "please I can't take any more!, I feel like one of those seagulls caught in the Exon Valiz spill"

[Puros Y Vino]

I love how thick the wood is on the old cabs too. Built to last. 

[Chef]

Daaaaang. 

[SCgarman]

Those were likely rolled before 100% of all members here on the forum were born. Right?

[wineguy]

Wow....

[SCgarman]

The 64K question is will they ever be smoked? 

[BarryVT]

Alex, help us out on this one!

 Stunning cigars, I would love to see them in person. When were they made ...hard to tell...going by the name...as memento of some sort or perhaps a souviner from a factory moving...or yes a gift for someone....an event ?

I suspect with that sort of packaging even back when, very few were made, for a few people....must be only a couple  of these to find in the world.

Very Nice Rob ! 

Thanks ?

Love the box,  Don't see it often and it adds an additional uniqueness to the presentation. I am beyond curious to the specifics. I have been to numerous locations and nothing shows up about this cigar. I would also be curious as to the rest of the collection this owner has?

Crazy to see how the ribbon style hasn't changed in all of the years these have been made. 

[Puros Y Vino]

I swear that this cab looks like one that was featured in Cigar Journal anywhere between 2010 - 12.  The article was about an old restaurant in the UK where two Pre-Embargo cabinets were found.  One was from the SOL Brand and I think the other was PL.  Can't find the article though.

Such an amazing thing to see.  It is a time capsule of our hobby!

Nice to see they're keeping up the standards, I great example that sometimes the wheel doesn't need remaking.    Lovely stuff

I will guess For Eire, circa 1948. Perhaps a James Fox Selection.

Sap still pushing through on the lid, beautiful

From the James Fox shop collection in Dublin. Witnessed this same cabinet a couple of weeks back. 

An amazing collection of rarities, antiquities and just never seen before stuff!
