I love finding these old collectible type cigars and they're usually all great smokes. This one here is the official cigar made for the 96 Olympics in Atlanta made by Carlos Torano. It came packaged in boxes of 12 and each box had a hologram of the Olympic stadium on the top of them. Any of you guys who have been smoking for a while remember these?

Sorry, bad pic. The name of the cigar is Victory Spirit 96 and has a three leaf clover with the Olympic symbol on top of the clover.

Never seen one.

Yeah, they're exploding cigars, right?

Yup. Remember them well. Figured them to be another cigar boom dog rocket. Never got one, but I do recall seeing them being dumped heavily around '98. I'm sure there aren't many around any more.

Of course now I do wish I would have at least bought/kept one.

Hey Snowflake, Do you remember what they were going for? The local that has them has about 8-9 boxes left still cello'd and wants $180 a box. OF 12! Seems a little steep to me but then again, I guess they are a collectible. I can't really find any available on the net.
