Yes, Truth is Often Stranger than Fiction!

Description from Germania Int'l:

"Yes, you read it right, two cigars from 1930’s Cuba. [W]hen Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the German Reich in 1933, posters, postcards, prints of his face, books, magazines, and knick-knacks were seen to flood the stalls and stores in Havana and other Cuban cities, and, naturally, the main Cuban product, cigars, had to bear a label with the visage of the European leader. Two genuine Hitler cigars in their original wrappers. They must be 65 years or so old, but are still incredibly intact. They are about 4 ½ inches long each. One is with a band showing the bust portrait of the Führer and on the sides of the band the cigar company name Flor-Cuba. The other has the wreathed swastika and the company marks, as well.

PRICE:$185.00 each.625149.jpg

No, not near York, but I am a consumer of Hershey products, with a particular emphasis on York peppermints. LOL!

Strange... Especially since Hitler took a very hard line when it came to tobacco. Some of his scientists were the first to link Tobacco smoke with Lung Cancer. But because of the "other" things those same scientists did, their work was completely discredited.
