It was a estate sale.. Guy was like 80 years old, passed away. He had them on shelfs in a office, pretty sure he had a controlled environment in there... and a ton of small cases.. He had been doing business with thompson and the like forever.. got like 20 humidors , ashtrays, lighters etc.. with the lot. Most cigars and humidors, ashtrays etc..where sealed boxes. They all seem good, There where a few old boxes that had been opened, that where stale.. I referbed the good ones.. tossed, the cheaper ones I have a 6ft humidor full. electronic controlled, in the house, air conditioned. Before I smoked so many.. I set up a true commercial refrigerator, in my warehouse, to turn on at 70 .. off at 72,, plus had a electronic humiidity box it there, with alarm and digital read out.. Now i use it to store liquor from a sports bar i bought out. I'm kinda of a prepper...But i don't drink... Paid 1000 for the whole lot of cigars. some date back to 1970's. Looked some up, they are like 150 a stick.Been smoking a few. They are good.. but seem to be mild..Maybe the time does that to them? I listed the normal ones ( drew estate, oliva, etc.. ) a while ago for 3500..I think it was 60 boxes... no takers.. so I just started smoking them..lol At this point, I'm just going to smoke them all.But do find myself buying ones I like, that i ran out off,, lol.If they are still available..some are not.. No clue how many left..over 1000 I bet..I've removed most from the boxes ( saved boxes ) , and are in trays. I routinely move them around in there.. which kinda sucks, cause you get used to where to find a certain one.. Then I can't find it fast..lol There are 2 humidity boxes in there. the big one is on the bottom, and the fan blows up.. and why I move the trays around...anyways.. thats the quick of it..
