Anyone ever heard of OXUS cigars? A friend of mine was going through some old boxes of his in-laws things and found a small "rug" with "The Famous OXUS Cigars" on it. He said it was atleast 50 years old. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Oxus P?

Never heard of them.

LOL @ LLT

So much for being famous, lol. Nope not OPUS, OXUS. I love them X's

I don't know if this is the same thing, but a guy I use to trade gars with had a really old smoking jacket that belonged to his grandfather (I think). Anyway the jacket said Bleau OXUS Cigars on the pocket and had a picture of a blue OX. When he looked into it, it was a line of cigars owned by a man named Donovan Bleau. My friend sold the jacket on ebay about a year ago for seven hundred dollars. Who knows maybe that rug is worth something.

Hope it helps

I thought Paul Bunyon had a blue ox... hmmm... perhaps the thread has strayed off topic...

Thanks Charlie, lol @ John

Thanks to those who replied.

Wanted to revisit this since quite some time has passed.

I'm still thinking.....

That's a horrible name for a cigar. It reminds me of noxious.
