Everything about that box is great. Reminds us that LGC was and is one of the greatest brands. 

Pre-Rev, so I don't see this format being revived, but it's very unique packaging in excellent condition and a premier brand. I'd add that to my collection in a heartbeat.

That is some tremendous packaging, that should be revived for special run.

Gotta believe those would taste like smoking a cedar dowel.

I would never smoke one ......just pull out the box and  research the hell out of it....and the period. The end owner will be the custodian of cigar history

Bah.  Like owning a classic car without driving it.

....you do bear a striking resemblance to Waldorf on the right.

I drive the car Rob. I'd smoke the cigar too!

[BrightonCorgi]

I'd smoke at least one.  Part of the custodianship is relaying what that cigar tastes like today to fellow amateurs around the world.

[Ginseng]

Amazing. Would have loved one for the tubos collection.

Looks like it's missing one so I'd say sampling one is in order. Intact box, it would be tough to break. Real tough.
