It reads fine to me .. Wait, let me turn of my vibrator…

Well, one thing we all have in common irrespective of colour, is that we’re all monkeys..

That order sound fair, put me down for two..

There is no ‘I’ in TEAM..

Hey, that’s offensive to the croc..

One of those things looks like it belongs under the hood of a Holden HG Monaro..

As always an absolute wealth of knowledge mixed with some class, thank you JohnS. I enjoy Courvoisier VSOP Cognac very occasionally. Also read somewhere that Napoleon Bonaparte only drank Courvoisier, so if it’s good enough for Emperors.. Also enjoy the Metaxa 7 star Brandy. Probably shouldn’t do this, but try Metaxa with ice, it takes It to anther level.

👎 Looks like a mouth disaster in the making

Naah, you’re taller than that Ken..

Hey guys, go easy on naming something I’m going to put into my mouth and try for the very first time..

My mate sent me a couple more pics . Definitely from Melbourne. He said the box is in pristine condition, the cigars look like any other smokable cigar, not dried out even a bit spongy, no mould or visible nasties. Looks like there’s only one thing left to do and that’s try them..

Thanks for the replies. The box in photos that he sent me appear to be from a younger vintage than what you would find in 1920s and they also seem to be surprisingly well preserved, even fresh looking. The ad from the bulletin appears closer to the mark so maybe 70s -80s My mate wants me to try one with him so I’ll let you know how it goes. Cheers

I builder mate found these in a cupboard draw of a house he was demolishing. I don’t think they are Cuban. Has anyone heard of these or know how old they might be? They look to be in good condition. Any help appreciated.

Do they get better with age?

Original Oceans 11 (1960) a bit hmmm.. dated for me, but cast Sinatra , Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Peter Lawford -just getting them together was special. Oceans 11, 12, & 13 we’re pretty good with modern technology and great plots. Clooney, Pitt, Damon -modern day ‘Brat pack??’ should have ended at 13.. Oceans 8 ?? Nuff said.
