Anyone remember these?? I remember smoking one of these YEARS ago, but don't know how it was??

I was in a local B&M (well about 1/2 hr away from me)and he had a sealed box on the shelf. He said that he had them since he opened (approx. 8 yrs). I don't know the price, but was wondering with that much age, how they would be.

This is the same B&M that I just bought the Napa's from (see pic post "Look what I found" 1, 2 & 3)

Should I follow up?? How much do you think they're worth ??

They're ok. Decent Nicaraguan tobacco. Should be pretty good by now. If I wanted it, I wouldn't pay more than $29/box for them.

I found them on the web (maduro) in Toro & Churchill for $24.95 & $26.95.

I think I paid $25/box for Toros here back in 2000.

I got a few 5 packs of these restin in the humi...

haven't smoked one in ages tho... but at the time I recall them less the caliber of the 5 vegas upwards to a DR stick in comparison... I'll have to give it another shot sometime this next week... I'm leaning on my weekend line-up here and started it off with a Buc Treasure.. which is a heavy hitter for me...

come to think of it.. when I bought these from CBid Auction.. they were listed as one of the Cigar Boom busts overages that came down when the big boom crashed around 96??

They were demanding high prices on Fat Cats during the "cigar boom", but they are not that bad....is this the same joint you found the Napa's in? Must have an amazingly low turnover of inventory in that store!!!!

Charlie, The store isn't in a very affluent area.

BUT...

I've also purchased 858 SG's, 858 Rosado's, Anejo Sharks, #46, #49, Hemmi Classic Maduro's, Avo's, etc, in the same store. He does have good turnover on some stuff...
