Holland Express

[Aidan85]

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, and was just wondering if anyone knows anything about an item I found at an antiques fair today.

It's obviously not an antique since it's wrapped in plastic, but it's in a wooden box, marked with Holland Express. On the cigar itself there is a red and gold embossed label that says "Royal" with a crown on it. It's 8" long, 3/4" wide.

Thanks,

Aidan

Aidan,
Self promotion of external sales is not the best way to make a first post, please refrain from this activity.

No that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to know if anyone knows anything about it and thought that was the best way to get a picture on! Didn't mean to cause any offence.

It is probably a holiday souvenir and not much else.

Muchacho, if you truly are a collector, why are you offering it on ebay?*

Your best bet is probably waiting till a sunny day comes along and lighting it up, looks like it is sealed and been in a ceder coffin so should be ok

Actually, as the magical moderator, it is my business to protect this forum from being used like "ebay" by those who only join to to promote sales. If you truly were interested in becoming a member of this fine forum, your first post should have been an introduction on the "newbe greet" forum AFTER reading the rules about selling cigars on this forum. But instead, your first post to "get information" about a particular cigar included a link to to your ebay page where you are selling that cigar. This type of posting always raises red flags around these parts, especially when it's the first post.

And as senor CJ noted, not the best way to present yourself in you first post.

Well said TJ.

How did people know it was his item on ebay? Or have people jumped to conclusions?
