My personel opinion is that the discovery is very real, and if someone with knowleadge about cigars can confirm that these cigars are really 1945 vintage, that would help proove that the discovery is not a hoax. I have already managed to find out that the rum discovered was made before 1948. As for all the uniforms, they are also apparently all authentic.
The photos I posted links to are from a Russian forum.
So if anyone has any info about the date these cigars were made, you are more then welcome to post it.

Well, if you believe that the discovery was real...........doesn't that date the cigars for ya? Research the cigars yourself........one of the mfg's still makes cigars, why don't YOU contact them and see if they can shed any light on it?

Oh, welcome to the forum........do you smoke cigars?
