Unsealing a 1982 box of Hoyo de Monterrey le Hoyo du Roi.

[Ryan]

JJ Fox Dublin unsealed a box of 1982 Hoyo du Roi today. This box arrived in Dublin in 1982 and has remained, sealed, in their keep since then.

A couple of small cracks on the feet of one or two cigars. They look very nice though.

Fox is putting them up on Bond Roberts in the next day or two, if anyone is looking for a near 40 year old box with provenance.

The video is quite nice.

Me as well. Great video!! Do they randomly pick boxes to remain sealed for decades?

That’s a nice thought. To be honest, it would be more accurate to say that (back then at least), boxes were randomly forgotten about for decades!

I’ve been with FOH long enough to recognize and know the meaning of the color dots on the sides of boxes yet I’ve never seen a green one.  Guess green represents ‘green with envy’?! 😜

That's Irish PSP

Nice box Andy! Glad I'll be offline at the beach the next few days.

I expect that'd be Yiorgos. He does have nice hands 🤣

Oh man, the first Birth year box I've seen, might have to put a cheeky bid on these...

We recently unsealed a box of 1999 but were too naive to realize the box was sealed until after doing it… 🙄 The cigars inside were gorgeous with sheen like these in Dublin. Just amazing for a box that old; you just do not expect it.

Was that for your Masters or PhD in being a Pirate?

Lol I was born in ‘82! It was a good year. I’d love a single from that year. Anyone up for a 25 way box split!?!?

Yeah that's Yiorgos. Hands of a princess. The softest hands in cigar retail.

Damn that was just beautiful to watch. What a gorgeous box of cigars too! The whole time I’m thinking how hard it must be to not just shove your nose inside and take a big whiff, I can only imagine the aroma. Looking forward to the auction very much.

This box is now live for auction. Good luck to the bidders!
