Jeremy's New Year Bash - What's your OLDEST cigar?

[SmokeyDave]

I have a 1986 Davidoff Laguito No1 and a Partagas Botterill gifted me from a friend who bought it from CGars, no idea on the year of manufacture but I think it is pre-embargo.

Right, after a bit of a fact finding mission... I have an ERdM Tainos from March 1992. To my knowledge, that's the oldest in my collection.

This one's being kept for a special occasion. ERdM was the first cigar marqua which really piqued my interest in finding out more about fine, hand-rolled, Cubans, so there's something a little special about it.

My oldest are pre-embargo Juan Lopez NOBLEZAS. I can't find any info at all on the web about these smokes!? The seal is perforated so it's pre-1961 but has German writing which makes it post-1931. So, they're from between '31 to '61.

Great looking Pre-Rev collection. I'll concede to you Stevie, they look older than my Henry Clay & there's more of them. What can you tell us about the PL's & the Punch?

[akyprianou]

The oldest in my Humi is a Sancho Panza Mollnos 1998

i remember the sale on botterills a while back! what the hell are they :P
but aye, they were pre embargos though.. and a pretty penny, they were!

[butternutsquashpie]

This is what i do at 02.00 on the internet. What about you?

Awesome show of cigars gents!! These are amazing selections of oldies and HTF ones. And i especially loved oggling SB and SB's selection of pre embargos! Beautiful selections gents!

But by the rules that i put down (and showed in my head) MarkLondon was the winner. With his oldest cigar being an Italian RE from 2012, he is my winner in his book. And i'm pretty sure he'll enjoy these sticks the most to help him on his cigar journey.
Shoot me over a PM when you can Mark, and remember to always document your ages when you can

Enjoy your:
Bolivar PC from DIC12
ERDM Choix Supreme from ABR13
Trinidad Reyes from JUN13
Hoyo Short Pirimides LE11 from DIC11
Hoyo Du Prince from ABR13
And a few other things that i'll toss in.. Some aged ones to decrease that 2011 stamp you have right now

[Stevieboy]

I have absolutely no idea what is going on but congrats to Mark for winning what looks like a cracking selection of smokes

Thanks to Squashie for the compo too

Congratulations on the win

Thank you for running a great competition Butternut

[ValeTudoGuy]

Ah I get it, Jeremy formulated a foolproof plan to get us all to post an interesting thread about our oldest sticks and in the process find out who would be most positively affected by the addition of a selection of smokey goodness!

Well done Jeremy, well done!

Congrats Mark! Post some reviews.

[PeeJay]

I've just chatted to Mark over Whatsapp and given him the good news, he is well pleased to say the least.

[Simon-JG-hr]

Well, even if I am as bemused and befuddled as Stevieboy, congratulations to Mark! More importantly, a massive thank you to Jeremy for running an intriguing and incredibly generous competition.

[MarkLondon]

MarkLondon was the winner. With his oldest cigar being an Italian RE from 2012, he is my winner in his book. And i'm pretty sure he'll enjoy these sticks the most to help him on his cigar journey.

Wow!
Peejay gave me the good news on whatsapp.
I am absolutely made up with winning and actually felt a little emotional on hearing I'd won as I think it is so generous of Butternut!

I'm speechless right now.

So amazing seeing all your old sticks they really are beautiful things.

Happy new year to everyone!

[JoeyGunz]

Awesome competition! Enjoy the sticks Mark
