canadianbeaver Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 About ten minutes ago my father shows up with something he found in his basement (which is cool and not too dry) from what he says is from a trip to Cuba 15-20 years ago. He knew he had them "somewhere"... I just about fell over. I opened one box. Not too dry and they were wrapped in their original paper. These boxes are just gorgeous, in immaculate condition and smell divine. The seal matches the one on Trevor's site used up to 1999. What we are talking about here are TWO boxes of Cohiba Lanceros, individually wrapped, pigtails and all, still in good shape. Opinions please???? And yes Frank, Art and Michel, I will share. Lisa
canadianbeaver Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 OMG x 2 http://www.cigarauctions.co.uk/cohiba-lanceros-p-11957.html Half a box... http://www.cigarauctions.co.uk/cohiba-lanceros-p-11958.html
LGC Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Wow. Incredible surprise!!! If they are in good condition, you might want to get a appraisal, before you break the boxes.
ptrthgr8 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Wow. That's pretty awesome, Lisa. Thats gotta be like Christmas in July! ~ Greg ~
winelover Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 About ten minutes ago my father shows up with something he found in his basement Your father is an absolute legend! Unbelievable indeed.
Trevor2118 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 does the c in BN25c mean cello? Yes...Boite Nature box of 25 cigars cellophane wrapped. http://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/lists/03-abbreviations.htm Trevor.
ChanceSchmerr Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Wow, that is a FIND, Lisa! Congratulations! I agree with above - have a professional evaluation before you start smoking/passing the cigars. But WOW!!!!
canadianbeaver Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 does the c in BN25c mean cello? Possibly? Because the photo shows cello, and mine are in cello. Interestingly, the foot is open.
SurpriseMVP Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Wow congrats on the burried treasure. Personally I would smoke them.
canadianbeaver Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Wow congrats on the burried treasure. Personally I would smoke them. I have just let him know (with a follow-up thank you e-mail) that one box will probably get smoked over the coming years but the other box will go away forever. That ought to cover me!
CigarmanTim Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Oh I have a couple of 10 - 15 yr old cohibas in my basement somewhere. !!! You just can't make this up. You, young lady, just hit the lottery.
canadianbeaver Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 "Young Lady"... now THAT is hitting the lottery my friend.
CBL Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I DON'T ALWAYS BRING CIGARS But when I do, they're vintage Cohibas Awesome dad! Hope you'll write a review if you choose to smoke them.
DrunkenMonkey Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Wow, congratulations! I've had dreams like that, but yours came true. Smoke them in good health. Whatever an appraisal might say they're worth on the market, they're priceless. What a prince your dad is.
nikesupremedunk Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I DON'T ALWAYS BRING CIGARS But when I do, they're vintage Cohibas Awesome dad! Hope you'll write a review if you choose to smoke them. Seriously, what a find! You should definitely have one with your dad Lisa! (if he smokes) And with me as well Let us know how they are!
asmith Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 That's fantastic what a cool dad. The only thing my parents turn up with is old reports cards from primary school that they are still disappointed about.
canadianbeaver Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Introducing, the most interesting man on FOH! Matthew, my son Jeff and I are HOWLING at this!!!! Sending it over to my dad (whose name is MONTE by the way) right now!!! Thank you!
