Cigar finds while antiqueing

[Mossome]

I was at an antique mall this afternoon with my wife, and saw this display cabinet that I considered buying and turning into a home humidor.

The $1800 price tag made me reconsider that idea.
I also saw this almost full box of cigars

They looked cool, but might be slightly under humidified for my taste.

Sweet find!

Sorry, don't know anything about those sticks but this is how we find those exceptional bargans. Good on ya bro!

 

[sofc]

does that say $35 a stick?

cool stuff, my and my lady love to go antiquing. We have both found some amazing bargains.

Man those cigars would have some age to em for sure.

 

[Mossome]

I did some research. The cigars were produced in Lima, OH. Makes sense, I am in Ohio. The inside lid looks similar to one I saw on the internet from 1924.

They've been sitting around unhumidified for who knows how long. I'd be pretty scared to smoke one. Hell, I'm sure I'd get drunk enough one night to try it.

No, they wanted $35 for the whole box. I might go ahead and pick it up just as a conversation piece. Maybe bomb some of those sticks out to some unsuspecting brothers.

Could be dry? I'm picturing a cartoon where you light the cigar and it immediately burns all the way to your lips on one draw.

Did they usually wrap the cigars in cellophane way back then? Most of the old cigars ive seen have been unwrapped sitting in the box.

Yes many of them

Box split! Those are even older than the 7 Deadly Sins.

I would never have let that box sit

I am sure they'd burn very well!!!
Not quite sure how they'd smoke... and the flavors? Meh.

 

[Mossome]

I don't think I'd be willing to smoke one, but wouldn't mind having it around as a collectable. I'd considerate more as an antique. Haven't been back that way to pick them up yet, if they're even still there. Its around 30 miles away. I believe that's 815 kilometers to all you Canadians.

The box says cigar of unchanging quality so they should be fine, right?

Is that shelf still for sale at $1,800???? That would've made a great project for a nice humidor!
