bunburyist Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 So, how did it smoke? You aged cigar porn tempter you... not smoked it yet - humidity is going to hit 85% for the next few days, and I don't smoke indoors so may have to wait a while. Will post the review when I do though. Is weird though, to think this cigar has probably travelled from Cuba to either Europe or the US, then finally over the course of almost 90 years found it's way out here in Asia. It's a shame it doesn't have an exact date, but regardless so much has happened since it was born. I think I'll do what El Pres suggested and read a bit about the times, refresh my history, perhaps listen to a bit of this guy:

That cigar was well travelled!
Warren Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 This thread has made me think it would be great to get a box of your favorite cigars from the date of your birth. You could have one on your birthday each year.

bunburyist Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 How on earth would you go about finding such a box? I'd have no idea where to start! shouldn't be too hard if you were born in or after the '70s. And you live in London, NYC or HK where there seem to be lots of stock and auctions. And you happen to be richer than a mofo. Thing is, imagine handing over say $3,000 for a box which then proceed to smoke like turds from the devil's own satanic herd - and then having to smoke one every year on your birthday as punishment.

reg Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 old topic bump, because I couldn't find another thread where you may have reviewed this! have you smoked it yet??
LiLo Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I have always found cigars that old to be very mild and tasteless. Not to mention very fragile. Any cigar pre 1960's i tend to stay away from.

Count me among those waiting to see how that 1920s PL Smoked......
jfury76 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I am becoming very intrigued by the notion of smoking something from the year in which I was born (1976). At $85 USD I would certainly spring for the Bolivar CE!! Gotta see if I can find something a bit closer to home. Hope the 1920's PLPC's smoked great.
samb Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Whether the taste is worth a damn or not, I would just be super excited to just have the opportunity to smoke something that old.
gfoster Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Whether the taste is worth a damn or not, I would just be super excited to just have the opportunity to smoke something that old. That can be arranged, Sam. I have a pair of underwear that is older than that, I'll box it up and send it your way and you can tell me how they smoked... Call me old indeed... -- Gary F.

android Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks for the pic's...look forward to the review.
bassman Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I've smoked a couple 75 MC#3s recently that were truly superb, but we're talking another 50 years of ageon the PL in question. Still, if I had the chance and the $$$, I'd have one just for the experience.

Still, if I had the chance and the $$$, I'd have one just for the experience. Hell, I'd pay just to get that PL band!
