What's the longest you have owned a cigar?

Styx -- The original Fuente Factory opened in 1912. The 8-5-8 was never commercially sold; Arturo Fuente used to enjoy it himself, share it with his friends. It was like a private stock. It was something very special to him. After Arturo passed away in 1973, Carlos Fuente Sr. released the 8-5-8 in his grandfather's honor, with his formula.STYX&STONED said:

I still have a "its a girl" cigar when my daughter was born. Have no idea who made it. I got it in 1980.

The cigars are approximately 4 7/8 X 44, claro wrapper and are in cellophane. The box has three seals. A Cuban warranty, a United States Customs and a tax stamp. The Custom's is the series of 1910 and the tax stamp is from 192?, series 107. The cigars were meant to retail for more than twenty cents each and the taxes were paid.emodx said:
The United States Customs sticker has this information:
No. 49
Ex. Siboney
Port. Phila
Inspector. Parkinso
Although I do not know what year these were made, the cigars themselves are in excellent shape with an extremely yellow cellophane. More so than and any others I have ever seen. I have smoked several over the years and unfortunately they are way past their prime, but a great piece of history. I also have a box of Belvederes that seem to be from the same time period, but their information is a bit different.
I received these as a wedding present...
Wow...talk about some history. I can't wait to herf with you again and pick your brain some more. Some call cigar collecting a hobby, but I suspect for you it may mean a little moreDevin Cole said:The cigars are approximately 4 7/8 X 44, claro wrapper and are in cellophane.

Thanks for the schooling.Emo
Just give me as much heads up time as you can. As you know I am Military and deploy for a coupla months at a time. :thumbs: BTW, I did eventually smoke the Padron you graciously gave me at the Richmond herf. A very nice cigar indeed!Devin Cole said:I will be down your way several times this year, so we will definitely have to get together. Looking forward to smoking some cigars with you again...emodx said:
I thinks we need a Forum called "Ask Devin" as you seem to have an answer for every Habana related question out there.

I dunno about no other hobbies, I heard he has a vast collection of inflatable sheep and gay porn. At least that is what Beastry is telling everyone :0Devin Cole said:Bad, bad idea...LMAOemodx said:
"Ask Matt" is a much better idea in my opinion, as he has no other hobby's...
