So how was it??????????

Amazingly fresh for their age.The taste was as the can said "Light".No real flavors other then grassy or vegetal but not bad.A very clean taste and finish...

 

[TexaSmoke]

Interesting.

 

[68Trishield]

Interesting.

I thought so too.I felt like I was stepping back in time...

 

[jmatkins]

Cool.

 

[dpricenator]

any idea how old they are?

 

[Headbanger]

They read out loud something on the can that says to sell for not less than 5c and not for more than 8c. My guess was 30s or 40s, maybe someone else could date them by the price. There was no date stamped & was not done back then. The person that brought them was clueless as well.

Heh. That's pretty cool. I can't say I've ever heard of a canned cigar.

That brought back memories. I can remember Edie Adams hawking Muriels in the late 50's or early 60's. Trivia: her hubby, Ernie Kovacs, passed away and left her saddled with a lot of debt as I recall, so she went to work doing sexy commercials for Muriel. Some of you old guys will remember that smoky, husky voice: "Why don't you pick one up and smoke it sometime?". . .:inlove:

I'm going to have to start hitting up estate sales and antique shops for some old cigar stuff.

These were on ebay for 60 some dollars.They weren't mine so I can't say for sure.
It seems these not that uncommon to come across.Not a great cigar by any means but a cool experience nonetheless...
