  1. I was wondering if any of you have seen anything similar to what I recently encountered. The cigar boxes came from an estate, there were various sealed boxes of H. Upmann cigars, some with the glassine wrappers and all in pristine condition. Just when you thought you have seen it all, I see this box of H. Upmann No. 4's and I am struck that there are a couple of vital things missing. For starters I don't see the green warranty stamp that I am accustomed to seeing on every Cuban box exported from Cuba, then I turn the box over and there is absolutely nothing on the bottom, what the heck? Any thoughts?

  6. A Cool Old Find: Clear Havana Cigars One of my friend's father was a cigar smoker here in the United States and when he passed there were many full unopened cigar boxes in his cabinet humidor he kept everything in. Everything seemed to be well humidified because some of the cigar boxes without cellophane smoked well and has plume on them. Anyways, this full box of White Owl Invincibles was one of the few boxes I was lucky enough to take home which is from the early to mid 1940's I gathered and is a clear-havana cigar. As indicated on the box, "blended with havana." As to how much Cuban tobacco they put in each cigar, I have no idea. I particularly enjoy the box graphics and design. Each cigar is intended to be 8 to 15 cents it says, so that's not too cheap nor super expensive for the time. I was shocked how clean and perfect the exterior of the box looked (it seemed untouched since the time it was boxed). The tobacco smell was mild but clearly there. The wrappers on the cigar look in pretty good shape for being 60-70 years old. I honestly have no idea how they will smoke and I will try one in a month or so. The best part about the whole experience was being able to open up these cigars with a knife and box opener and unveiling what laid beneath. For me, that is one of the best feelings, opening up a box with no idea what lays beneath. I can't find much information on these cigars other than a bunch of empty boxes seen being sold on eBay and obviously the fact that now this company is a cheap tobacco mass made company that is seen with "blunts" in gas stations. So, any information on them would be of help too of maybe their value also. Here are some photos: Thanks for looking
