Those are going to age nicely... need to let them rest for at least a year...My first ever box of these. I think. I did drink pretty steady from '92 to '09. Very excited to try them out.
UBM AUG 17 box code.

Ask Gary, I think the older version used a darker shade paper for the labels if I'm not mistaken.View attachment 19755 View attachment 19756
I’ve got a couple of old Davidoff’s but I certainly didn’t expect these when I placed the order. I put a fiver next to some I bought back in 2012 and can’t believe how discolored these are. I can’t think of any reason for the color other than them being old but if someone has an alternate reason for the discoloration please let me know. I smoked one, ROTT as it would be and it was great!
Yeah, I'll do the obligatory ROTT single and then bury them. The extra six weeks of winter will help me forget about them when prime smoking weather starts.
One of my favorites, hard to find lately and a size I like. Not many lonsdales being made anymore when in the past almost every line had one.

I think they are even older.
I'd also say that the band material(now) may be more resistant to yellowing (which is due to oils).
Note: the cello is really yellow as well.
Everyone who picked up a box of these has come across the same thing.
The warning label appears Turkish - so I wonder if some warehouse closed or released these.
As far as being fake or questionable....if they smoke good...then all is good.
I may try one this weekend.

No one likes a show off!My good friend Jeff (Cigarstone) came into town from Ohio and I had him pick me up a case of Zombie Dust, a sixer of Hop Ju Ju, and four Ten Fidy Barrel Aged.

You gotta rotate them on your device before posting. Even if on your device they look normal.
That BA 10 50 is good!
