According to MRN, 50 cabs and cajon 100s were available until the 1970s but I have never seen any actual evidence of a post-Rev Monte 1, 3 or 4 in 50s or 100s. As MRN so often notes, these may have existed only on paper. The 25 cabs were pretty rare anyway. I've only seen images of a few and maybe one or two at auction in the last 25 years. 

I'm not in the office now. I'll take pictures of the 50 cab on Tuesday and post them here.

I chuckle at the idea of the monte tubos anejado. I think every box I've ever bought had at least 5 years on it. Seems to be a cigar people overlook. The 10 count especially.

For sure...so much 3-5yr aged Monte out there for a song

"Guys, Guys. I've got an idea. People don't like this very much. So let's charge more for it!"

If this is the one you're referring to (from CCW taken from MRN, taken from a catalog and not in his personal collection) I'm not sure this is a 50 cab. I could be wrong, but it looks more like a 25 cab to me.

Photos as promised. I was wrong.

It wasn't a 1960s cabinet of 50 Montecristo No. 1 that I saw.

It was a 1960s cabinet of 50 Montecristo No. 3. Either way, more of us now know that they exist not only on paper. They're still in stock.

That sticker was applied in May 2011. There was a valuation done then on some of that stock.

Well, Monte 3 at least!

Very rare box indeed. Again, the first Monte 50 cab I've seen.

SSSHHHH!! These are definitely a hidden gem.

That cab is a thing of beauty Andy. Thanks for sharing

For sure the Almirantes are the most exciting item on the list.  I for sure will buy one or two.

Agree 100%

It's like being at a Living History Tobacco farm and I don't even have to move to enjoy it.  What a beautiful box of history...I am sure the cigars are probably pretty good as well
