Just pulled the trigger on a box of Cohiba Esplendido. They are my son's birthday box code. I am so excited! But my bank account is not....... Haha

80s diplomatico no 7 and 80s RA Toppers in cellophane...
This is very nice. When you smoke one let me know if they still hold flavor. I have heard very old sticks can sometimes have zero punch and little to no flavor. Im curious to know if thats true.

Also, anything from 1984 in there?

Smoked a 1959 monte 4 the other day that would knock you on your ass, I have a couple boxes of the 87 Party Toppers and HU Majestics that are my after bbq cigars because of the strength and body in them.

Yes it was an experience, you can see the old "tax band" under the regular band, it's also cool the regular band is the same as now (well not the gold embossed bands). Also notice the off center crappy print job LOL

You can even see the quality of the roll. It's burning pretty straight on that picture. Well kudos to you for being able to smoke something that old.

You don't have to let them rest 5 years. Smoke a few now, smoke a few later, save a couple for long term aging. That way you can see how they progress over the years.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE WITH THIS ANSWER! Imo if its your only full box smoke 3-4 a year. Basically every 3 months or so. Unless they get a little rough, then back off. Next buy another box in the next couple of months and leave that one alone for 3-5 years
