Your oldest cigar?

[Moro]

I don't know how the bloody hell ye got those, Mitch; but I bow before thee.

 

[Cravate]

Wow..just wow.

 

[unfairtoast]

Mitch, are those white owls?

Mitch, are those white owls?

Yep, such plume too.

I have 2 1949 JGs left out of a fiver, I smoked a 1970s H Upmann natural tubo the other night.....wow what a smoke

 

[Boston Matt]

Always loved this thread. Felt like it should be bumped and refreshed as people's collection changes. How old is your oldest smoke?

 

[El Baton]

I have a 1977 RyJ Corona which was gifted to me. The cello is so yellow it's almost orange.

1992 La Corona Petite Corona...oldest yet....

Couple White Owls (I believe 1940s) and a clear havana from '57. can't wait for a special day...like a tuesday

 

[RobustoMoe]

Not yet ! I am at that stage of the hobby where I can't leave my cigars alone to age. I have this fantasy of smoking a cigar of my age when I reach 30. Someday I'll be a proud owner of an old/aged cigar

White Owls from the 40's are Clear Havana's as well.

 

[Mitch]

Oldest Cigars I have right now in my humidor are from 1920, Clear Havana's. I had some from the 1800's, but the dam things caught fire at a party! (disapointing smoke sadly, flat and flavorless)

I no longer have it but recently smoked a Robert Burns from the 20's and was still in fantastic shape. I think my friend still has 60 left in the box. I think he figures there is no need to continue to age them.

how do you come upon things like these?

 

[smokemifugotem]

Thanks Mitch! I was hoping you would pop in! I thought that I had heard that the clear was the 40s...but my log said 57...not sure how I got that! Thank you again bro! Nick

Look up Gotham Cigar Museum. They are great and the best place to buy them with confidence. It is actually surpising how well they are priced as well. For an event level cigar they are not too expensive.
