That website’s use of the term “vintage” appears to be verrry loose. Other listings include Drew Estates current production boxes as “vintage.”

 

While it appears the Dunhills and perhaps the RyJ must be Cuban, the Davidoff look like new, Dominican boxes.

 

And what shape are the Dunhill in? Have they been sitting on a windowsill in Perth for 20 years?

 

buyer beware...

If those Estupendos were real, in good shape, and kept properly, that box alone would be a steal at that price regardless of the other boxes.

Buyer beware indeed.
