Box of Real Madrid Montecristo no 4

[99call]

A vintage box of Montecristo No 4, specially banded featuring for Real Madrid team of the late 50s early 60s

This interesting thing about this box, is every cigar in the box will have a different value,  with Di Stefano maybe commanding the highest price. 

As it combines two highly collectable markets, this could be the most expensive box of Monte 4's in existence,

Around the late 1980's I think, like with everything I think if you were willing to pay up front, you could of gotten nearly anything personalised by cuba at one point.  

Heres some Manchester United Cuban Cigar box that look to be from the 1980's

@99call  Thank you for posting this picture and information !

The heroes of my childhood in Spain - Puszkas, Gento, Di Stefano, Muñoz et al, the best Real Madrid team ever.

Wonder if the seller would accept my left kidney for that box ... ?

Haha, I think we both know I may be able to put the picture up......but you most definitely have the information.   I was not even I twinkle in my Fathers eye in the 60s. 

As for the left kidney....come on!  we both both know its filtered a champions share of rum!   mind you? the principle of Honda motorbikes could be in effect. i.e the more miles on the clock, the more it has proved its high value!!!   At least this is what i'm hoping for myself.

@99call  Born in early 50's here so my childhood memories are black & white and Real Madrid and those great players feature high in them.

Great generation and best perfomance in "Champions League" - was called Copa de Europa back then.

Thanks for the kidney comments - mine might recover enough next 3 years ( if Cuba doesn't open up sooner )  to be offered up as a "good mileage second hand one" .... ?

Cheers !

Haha, hopefully we are all second hand in one way or another,  other wise whats the point?  I think my pink slip, would read "One careless owner, MOT overdue"

Those are nice and all, but cigars that celebrate Chelsea F.C. would reel me in.
