Pre Embargo Cuban's

[TJCoro]

Sure 'nuf!

Where are those from? Are the filler, binder and wrapper all pre-embargo tobacco?

Yes, senor larry, just as you described.

Don't know where they came from, Catalina Joy bought them on the web several years ago.

[TJCoro]

Amazing

That is truely amazing, I had no idea that cigars as old as these would still be around for regular folks to pick-up, as long as you don't mind the high price. Being a newbi to the cuban cigar scene, I wouldhave thought that private collectors from all over the world would have bought up most of these.

Two Questions Sir:

1) Who ya' callin' "regular folk" senor BrewCrew?

2) Where the hell are you from...California or Texas PICK ONE!!!

Names TJ, TJCoro, and sometimes I rank on the newbies!

Thing is, it's really hit and miss with these; they can be amazing, but they can also be barely smokable! It's a risk that's for sure.

The "collectors" as you say, have probably got most of the really good stuff between them I would say (mostly Dom Perignon and Davidoff's I think).

A lot of it comes down to how they've been kept down the (many) years.

Lot's of people believe that a cigar begins to "lose it" after about 15 years anyway, although there are exceptions.

Finally, pre-embago and Cuban government intervention, there were literally hundreds of brands, so it's a minefield!

ive had a few of these and they are not too bad. they are nothing to write home about either. some of them are 100% cuban tobacco and some are blended with tobacco from other places like honduras, nicaragua, or the dr. havent had one in a few years. will look for some next time i go to the city.

Embargo Punch Londres Extra.

[kona peaberry]

Gary, anytime you're in my waters, let me know. I'll be happy to have a few smokes with you . Btw, they are a good smoke right now, can you imagine back in the 1920s and 40s when this cigars was smoking back then.

[kona peaberry]

1920s Lord of England 50ct boxs, cigars are in prestine condition, most of it life was in wine cellar to my temp control.

[ACMCC]

Be interesting to see what they smoke like, be hard to break a full box though, who made them for Lords of England I wonder?
