How were they stored for the last 30 years? Take some pictures and post them.

 

[MoeCizlak]

Are you selling them?

There are some folks here, as well as CF who you could contact.

I would also ask for pictures...and how were they stored?

Here's the story on the cigars;

They were stored in a very old humi in s basement in Connecticut. The owner, who had passed away was a Lt. Commander in the USN.
An acquaintance of mine came across these particular smokes during the estate sale and thought I would be interested. Of the 4 boxes two were previously opened, a box of Monte's No 3 Cabinet Selection with the bottom of the box stamped with "Made in las Palmas Spain" and a box of H Upmann singulares in a aluminum tubes and wrapped in what I call rice paper. Only 13 remain in the box of 25.

The other two boxes are sealed and have never been opened;

H Upmann Especiales cellophane
Partagas Super Partagas cellophane

The good stuff: The singulares, especiales and super partagas have Tabacos en comision stamps and export stamps from cuba.

My limited research has put these in the early 80's. I also have some singles of Maria Guerrero and others but without boxes in would be difficult
to verify origin.

I will post pics ASAP

Any help would be appreciated.

LOL. I stand corrected Tim :blush: But at least it prompted a description, Did I win anything other than the WTF award?

I am 99% sure these are real cubans.

The series codes are AF and AG. It just seems that there is a lot of info for years prior to and after the early and mid 80's. I would really like to have my research confirmed and a value placed on them so I could have them insured, God forbid my house would burn down, I would be snorting the ashes for a week after. I also have a Jamaican Mac and a Cuban Jose Piedra from the collection. Mac stopped production in Jamaica in the mid 80's.

I have about 30 other loose sticks of various mfr.

Who do you suggest I go to ?

Hey souldog, if u would like to try the H upmann Humi tube I could give one to you. I have family in Murrieta and Canyon Lake. Send me a PM and we could do the logistics.

 

[bfreebern]

If you're here for validation on your cigars, you're here for the wrong reason.

I'd suggest you smoke the cigars and stop worrying about value.

 

[CasaSoho]

Your cigars are not insurable.

CP0010
A. Coverage
2. Property Not Covered
e. Contraband, or property in the course of illegal transportation or trade

This is a commercial ISO form, but I'm sure the personal form has a like exclusion.

It's elementary!

To bfreebern,

Would you really smoke them ?

Would you take a 1961 Ferrari 250 Gt California Spyder and enter it in a figure 8 race ?

Would you share a bottle of 1982 Chateau Latour, Pauillac with some bowling buddies ?

I find your jumble of non sequiturs and irrelevant observations to be nothing but comedic.

In Jest,

Jaypee

I would. Unless I was planning on selling them. Are you going to sell them or just look at them?

Would you take a 1961 Ferrari 250 Gt California Spyder and enter it in a figure 8 race ?

Oh hell yeah! Although if I had a choice and money was no option, I would drive a Veyron as a daily driver. Ohhh, think of the experience!

Would you share a bottle of 1982 Chateau Latour, Pauillac with some bowling buddies ?

I'd probably enjoy it with good friends, if that's what you're asking...
