So now that I have cleaned them out, I can share the story on how I came across these.

There is a B&M that I go to frequently and for years, I looked at these sticks that are in a display humidor wondering, what would it take to purchase these but never asked. History in a case. Long lost cigars that have been discontinued or were a special release.

A few weeks ago, I finally went up to one of the guys and asked if anything in the display case is for sale??? He said yes. We went through the case and picked out all of the cigars that were in good condition and asked him to get me a price.

A week later, we came to agreement to the price. I tried the RA Aristocrats first to check on provenance and quality. Once I smoked one, I went back for the rest.

The rest is history.....

and so is your retirement fund...that will be history in no time flat! LOL

As a proud owner of a single Aristocrat. I will attest that the above is 100% true. I've been to the B&M he mentions. Awesome haul Art. Well done.
