Puros Y Vino Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've reached out to an expert in tobaccaina collectibles.. Amir (of Partagas El Libro, fame). His take is this might be from the 1930's New Jersey era. If the inner lid is "milk glass". Very interesting. It seems the La Corona factory rolled Cuban tobacco in New Jersey as it was cheaper to import the raw leaf and roll it local vs import the final product.

finecigar Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I have seen one of these before with some cigars! I am pretty sure is from late 60s/early 70s, so post embargo non cuban. Nonetheless is a cool looking box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckSARTech Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Very very nice, Frank. Cool piece. Had I known fully what I was picking up for you on that shopping run, it might have "disappeared in the mail"!!!! LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 UPDATE: Another person helping me unravel the source/history of this humidor is Rob Fox of JJ Fox. He passed my photos along to a friend who gave the following assessment. I think the felt on the base is a giveaway that it did not originate in Cuba. In my opinion it was made by the Corona factory in Miami for the restaurant or bar trade Still, a steal in my book. I've already begun fixing it up as well. Will post progress pictures over the next few weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
