1969 Partagas Chicos

[Reuben]

Made a trip out west to visit with my Mom and Dad!  We thought we'd Celebrate Life, Our Blessings, and the completion of our Covid Vaccinations with some Macallan 18 and these 1969 Partagas Chicos!  Amazing that 52 year old tobacco can taste that fine!  The Bond Roberts boxes have been well taken care of.

That's great that they are smoking well!

From the markings on the bottom of the box I can tell where they came from.

The "DEIR" had to do with a coded pricing system that was used from the 1920s to the 1970s. The Code was "DEVONSHIRT", similar to the Habanos NIVELACUSO, though the devonshirt code was used for pricing rather than dating. It's not the easiest to work out as Ireland and the UK used pre-decimal currency at the time, so it was pounds, shillings and pence, with 12 pennies to a shilling and 20 schillings to a pound.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this information.  I appreciate it.
