Well, longer than this, but I don't care. Money well spent!

Just curious about that wrapped cigar as I've never seen it. It says "patented" in 1915 but are you saying that's the age? What brand or other info can you share, the paper wrapping definitely does look old.

562! Once we're over the committed amount, I urge guys to keep posting so we can see some extra old stuff! And if you want an additional challenge, then donate the amount of years that you smoke!

This is from my first box split I did as a young lad with @keinreis . No box code but on the back it talks of a release date for a cigar in Germany on Sept. 22, 2001. So I take it if DE was on top of their box game and screen printing, these are from at least 01'.

These are from 1939.

It was gifted to me from someone very generous on another board. I've had it for probably 4 or 5 years. I was told it was from 1915, but I think they were just going by the patent date on the wrapper. I found a few ads for them from the early 20s, but I'm not sure how long they were produced. I'll try to post the ads when I'm not on tapatalk.

Adjust my entry date to 1939, but not my pledge

In fear of missing out I'm throwing my submission in. Oldest thing I have. Not sure that it's actually from '93 so Paul add whatever you want money wise. I'm not really a Macanudo fan but this isn't bad.

We'll add 15. I think it meant crop year 93. So let's assume they used 7 year old tobacco. Is that OK?
