What is the best surprise cigar you have found doing a reorganization of your storage?

I found a box of singles in the bottom of my storage from bombings past. Thought it was a full box of My father's but opened to find some hidden treasures.

Bunch of singles from trades and RAOK from various people. My list of addys from said people (not sure if they are still current).

Also a half a box of Cupido Criollo dated Nov 22, 1999 (Box 666 of 7000) - the original ones not the re-release. I loved these things. I knew I had them stashed away but kinda forgot about them. I'll have to see if they still have it after all these years.

you got the Devil's Box, Theodore!

be vewy vewy careful.

I know. Flip the year of manuf over and you get 666! too. Freaky...

OK, now I'm really getting askeered.

as to the op

couple years ago I was consolidating and picked up what felt like an empty box of JL #2 (or was it #1?)

Only there was one left inside!

Smoked it while thinking about wheel

edit: definitely #2

I found an Oliveros in my coolerdor that had been there for 12+ years. Most of the cigars in there have been in there a while. But I have no memory of the brand, or buying any, so it was not something that I had registered as being at all noteworthy. I smoked it, and it was fantastic! Just salty and leathery and creamy/savory, just what I like. Then I dug around and found 10 more in a box of something else. I'm still happy about that find.

If that’s your preferred flavor profile you should consider a camping trip with ol’ Z.

Sounds like the words of a guy that’s destined to end up in a shallow grave.

Have you met my friend Z?...

Damn you Palama, now I'll have that song in my head all day.

I'll take care of that Devil's box of Cupidos, Bucky...send it over...

let's pray that no USPS worker is hurt in transit...

Lee, it will most likely be a lancero vitola.

re: camping trips with Z...think three feet lower...bullseye

[frypan] Yeah, I walked right into that.

Going for it willingly... Thats a new one.

Oh, it wasn't willing. Just stupid.
