Blast from the past

[El Presidente]

 

I can only assume they are a lot better than the Guantanamera Cristales of today 

Can you guess at a year/s?

The box stamp suggests pre-1961. The Union seal is dated to post 1931. If they are indeed glass tubes in there, which I think they are, those came about around the mid-1940s. So best guess, that box is dated to a period from circa 1945 to 1960.

Yep saw those pop up today, seem legit. 

Although I believe there have been lots of fake Cifuentes Crystales going around

thinking of of giving these a nudge @El Presidente? couldn't help noticing the images were cropped LOL

Simply way too many fake cigars on there. I would hate any member to be burned simply because we referenced it.

If the box was empty they would still be better than Guantanamera Cristales.

It is an absurdity that such an awful cigar as the Guantanamera perpetuates.

Well, that garbage tobacco has to go somewhere. They refuse to export any so that's what you get. What kills me that they're paying someone to grow that crap while Hector and Hirochi get underpaid and the country has food shortages.

Probably for the American market selection as I believe that the pencil marking (lll, light, light, light) and the claro wrappers were sold in that market, whilst the English Market Selection used darker wrappers.
