A little bit of cigar history.

[El Presidente]

 

This proud marque commenced in 1882 before closing down in the 60's. Reintroduced in the 80's as a low cost cheapie, they screwed it up and was discontinued again in 2005. 

I love this humidor. 

We are taken back to a world where world class retailers would commission cigars. Circa 1959    

On BR in the upcoming auction.
