Thread: found unopened gold lable brand cigars

  1. Default found unopened gold lable brand cigars

    Hello, i recently while cleaning out house of passed away relative found an unopened glass humidor/package of cigars. they are labeled GOLD LABEL golden centennial. i have someone who is offering $100 dollars for them. I listed them on ebay and recieved 15 bids in the 10 mins they were listed. ebay cancelled the ad because of the tabacco. i want to know if anyone has ever heard of these. and i forgot to mention it says golden centennial 1867-1967. thank you

    If they are truly 50 yrs. old, they probably have only collectors value. From what I understand, 15 years is about the max for good smokability, and that's stored in ideal conditions. After that, they degrade because the volatile compounds in the tobacco are almost completely evaporated. Glass tubos sealed airtight may last longer.

    I have seen CA rate a Dunhill from the 1960s.

    Actually in the current issue they rate a Monte #1 from 1968.

    yeah... if they aren't good for smoking after that long then why the big deal about pre-embargo cubans???

    It's just what I've read. It could be debatable. Another article I read claims pre-embargo cubans are mostly a fairy tale, with the exception of an occasional box found tucked away in a deceased persons belongings or an older collectors humidor. Such finds are rare at best and certainly wouldn't be available to the general public.

    Claims of pre-embargo cuban cigar finds are rampant among scammers. You'll find counterfeit/recycled bands and packaging all over the internet if you look hard enough. There's a reason that stuff sells. I'd treat this particular "find" with more than a few grains of salt. Ask lots of questions and verify details.

    Are you kidding me. AGed cigars are a very sought after market.. Especially if you have the funds.. There is a vendor in the Uk that specializes in aged and rare limited cigars..

    He carries H. Upmanns from the 70's
    Didemas from the 60's
    RYJ from the 60's and 70's
    Punches from the 60's
