I never saw the box from the one Mario passed around. I think he said 30's - I sent him a note asking, but it really won't matter that much for dating yours.

If you have access to the box, this page might be of help for determining a date.

I think 6c a cigar might be a bit high for the 1930's. I seem to recall reading somewhere that White Owls cost 5c per cigar in the 40's, but I might be remembering it wrong or the info might not have been accurate.

Adam,

5-6 cents was pretty average during that era. The high end marcas during that period went as high as 10 cents.

Mike!

How you doing bro?


Thanks, I didn't realize they had already climbed that high by the 30's. 40's pricing, sure.

BTW - I was mistaken on the year, the one Mario passed around was from the 50's.

Doing well brother. I think I remember seeing a couple of those float around. Obviously not as many in circulation as other Clear Havanas, but nonetheless.
Also, will you be attending a certain conference in Vegas in a couple of months?
