We just sold our old family house in New Hampshire, and, in the process of cleaning out its ancient and damp basement, I found three boxes of cigars of my deceased uncle which had been down there since we think the 1960s. 110 total cigars.
- DEXTER LONDRES traditional brown cigar box of 50 cigars, still new, shrink wrapped and unopened. It is also enclosed in Christmas wrapping which further protected it. I pulled one end of the Christmas paper loose just to see the label information.
- DEXTER LONDRES traditional cigar box of 50. Its shrink wrap was removed and it was opened, It is almost full, but with five cigars missing. The 45 others are in there.
- Dutch Master Panetelas "25 cigars in five packs", a thin Christmas box. Opened, with three remaining intact packs of five inside. Two of the five "five-packs' are gone.
I don't smoke cigars, I don't know how attractive these old brands might be, and I don't know if the dampness of the old deep cellar helped them - but I imagine it couldn't have hurt as they would not have dried out. I can tell you they were down there undisturbed for between 42 to 52 years, and they look quite OK. If these sound good to you, email kaz.oldcigars@spamex.com to discuss acquiring them.
