Back in 1985 I went to Jamaica for a vacation. I bought all kinds of liquor and cigars to bring home with me. The other day I was reorganizing my "man cave" and found 2 unopened boxes of cigars that still have intact,unbroken seals from Jamaica.

The first wood box is Mario Palomino "10 Coronas".

The second box is Royal Jamaica "10 Royal Coronas"

I love cigars and been puffing up my share of fine sticks bought from CigarBid, but I am not sure about smoking these because of value today.

Any suggestions on values?

Depends on if they’re internet cigars, or shpo cigars....

I bought them at a cigar shop in Ocho Rios. Personal Computers were hardly available at that time let alone the internet.

I wouldn't begin to know how to guess. After I went in '17 I did some checking into the Jamaican cigar industry. Crops and the RJ factory were destroyed in '88 from a hurricane. Operations moved to the Dom Rep for a time but I think they're done there too. I don't know anything about the MPs.

So rarity is likely pretty high, but I don't have any idea how desirable these were back then. Also, read they tended to be mild/med so would personally be concerned whether much flavor has lasted for 35yrs

The old RJ's that you have were decent sticks at that time.As far as their collectors value I wouldn't think so but I'm no expert.Also have these been humidified properly all these years or stuffed in the bottom of some desk drawer?


The MP's not a clue,never heard of them

Both boxes are probably filled with REALLY DRY
"LAMB'S BREAD" , so it may be worth quite a bit.
