Sid Caesar's estate sale in Hollywood...some stunning pre-embargo rarities!

[Stevieboy]

Stumbled upon this in the US. There's about 50 boxes in total. Beautiful

The STACK of Dunhills alone would probably fetch ?5000 per box at Mitch's auction. What a monster collection

Tempted to place a bid but could you imagine what HMRC would have to say about importing 30-40 boxes of stogies

Some amazing stuff there, if only that ?90+million lottery win had been mine. Would've taken the lot of you to Cuba too.

I'm rooting for you Deano, you have bought a ticket haven't you?

Interesting.

[Nick2021]

Man, that's definitely a NICE stack of cigars ...... Curious as to how much they went for

[Simon Bolivar]

Toooooo much, it's all shite! Read this & then bid if you really fancy a pig in a poke!

Hi Simon,

Thank you for your interest in our upcoming auction. Please see below for lot 470 breakdown and condition issues.

Lot 470:
A box of Romeo y julieta No. 2 has all 25 in there.
2 Dunhill Monte Cristo No. 1 25 sealed, 1 unsealed with all 25
A Monte Cristo No. 4 missing 5 should have 25, but there are 20 in there.
A Monte Cristo No 2 all in 25 are in there.
A box of Sherman's Havana from Nat Sherman Co. Tobacconists all are in there- 50 total
A Romeo y Julieta box is sealed, has 25 in there.

Please note that these cigars were not kept in a humidor for the past couple of years, so there is extensive damage to them. This includes beetle holes, severe dehydration, molding, and other condition problems. I have attached some additional photos for lot 470

What?! Beetle holes and molding??

[Simon Bolivar]

Yeah & nothing mention of the Auction site itself to suggest they weren't smokable or damaged in anyway. I was a little hasty & put a bid on lot 470 but having lost my credit card & cancelled it & told them to withdraw me from the auction. So far they have lowered my bid to $50 above the previous bidder & haven't replied to my letter of cancellation. I also seem to have changed my details on the profile page so good luck with trying to get one measly $ out of me!

[TheMonk]

Even though the message they sent you was extremely clear, it still seems quite dishonest of them to not give that information on the site itself.

What a crock of proverbial ay

[nev coss]

probably why the price was so low

[Simon Bolivar]

Not low enough for the condition I would say but yes in good condition the estimates would have been higher. The auction is underway & it's showing as $600 for Lot 470 so hopefully some other sucker will be getting them. Hope they are genuine Sid fans as there's no other reason to want them.
