They are all sealed and I am guessing old so are they ok to smoke? and does anyone know any of their ages or if they are worth anything. Not sure how you add photos to the thread but they are in an album on my home page.
Thanks

Saw em... Look like you have some beauties there.

I don't know any of the brands except that Bolivar, lol.

Newbie after some assistance please..

I think I'm correct in saying that tube for the Bolivar was discontinued in 2009 so it will have a few years age on it - Bolivar is one of my favourite brands

I'm not sure what age will do to the other cigars though, unfortunately they are not what is considered to be high end, premium brands, but they should be fine to smoke

Think manikin cigars have been discotinued too.

Usually you get a good indication if you gently squeeze them in the middle and they return back to shape, next when you cut one the draw shouldn't be too easy. This way you can tell if they have dried out also they should retain a certain amount of aroma. But as already mentioned these are not all handmade smokes . Give them a go and let us know.

I collect those old cheapies so if you want to stick around till you get PMs and want to hold onto them I'll trade you some proper cigars for them in about three months time. Otherwise they sell well on Ebay.

Thanks will do. didn't think you could sell cigars on ebay?

You can't, you sell the packets as collectable tobaciana and include the word sealed in your seller description.
