How old would these be 🤔? 1970s?

Let's say one of your mates gives you that Partagas, would you smoke it?

I get notes of blue cheese, a hint of fish sauce, and a lingering fermented kimchi off the foot

Shame you didn't get any Taiwanese fermented tofu too. That would've been the perfect aroma combo

Now that's just ridiculous. We all know you only get Taiwanese fermented tofu on 40+ years of aging HdM, not Partagas.

I'm not sure about the wrapper colour of those Flor de Canine turds. Looks like they are made out of particle board.

Pre-rev (most, for sure) I spot Sol, La Simbombo and Mundial.

Close! 😁 Cedar-wrapped (LFdC Petit Coronas)

They're cedar wrapped AFAIK

Edit: Just noticed the above re: cedar wrapped

Old tabacco, nothing special

Hmmm …. The cello looks absolutely new, whereas the other sample shows a bit of aging 🤔

Some end-century / early 2000 machine-mades. Not too much in common with the thread starter but the cello. 😉

La corona from 1974, others from mid 80 and 1990. 

[Fugu]

You’ll probably know best what you got there. But the Cabañas and the La Corona are more likely to stem from the reinstatement of MMs from 1989, which had originally been made for and distributed in the Comecon member states back then. The others could be older, sure.

Should you have a 1974 La Corona Coronas in your possession it would be an absolute rarity.
