How old is your Oldest cigar. Tell the tale of why its that old and what you plan to do with it! Lets here your stories :ss

[Bax]

My oldest ever was a 1911 Betsy Ross. Current oldest is 98 Punch Coronas. Gotta love the sales :D

[Barteur]

2001 Montecristo A Trade from Old Sailor. I don`t know when I will have it.

Frenchie

Nice to see you back on the board John:tu

[G G]

I don't think I have anything more than a couple years old if that.:tu

[elderboy02]

I have an original release Opus X :dr

I don't know when I will smoke it

[sikk50]

A few from 99 that came from Mean Darrell

[markem]

I have a selection of cigars from 1917-1919 gifted to me, but doubt that I will ever smoke. Of the ones I do smoke, the 1857 Robt. Burns panatelas are stellar.

[bobarian]

I still have a few 1948 Josa Garcia's from one of the tin's that was opened a few years ago. Not the best cigar I have smoked, but some very interesting toasted bread flavors. Amazing yellow cello, quite surprised that a 60yr old cigar was still smoke-able. :banger

[tuxpuff]

1857?!?!

[tuxpuff]

01 Sancho Panza Corona here

[68TriShield]

My cigars don't survive long enough to get old.
If I'm gifted or buy a old cigar,I smoke it.

[Sr Mike]

I have one Lord Romeo from 1910, will be smoking it in a few months.

[DougBushBC]

I agree with Dave. I have a few 99 CCs that were gifted RECENTLY but i have been smoking a lot of late 90s stuff that I have been gifted/traded for because to be honest I love them!

[hotreds]

Mr. Maduro gifted me some cigars from the 40s&50s that I took with me to smoke at the Shack. Those plans were foiled, maybe I'll just save 'em for Shack Herf VI!

[kelmac07]

I have a four year old Grape Swisher...does that count? :r:r:r:r

[Darrell]

1980's Dunhill Mojito

[Dunkel]

I had 2 Montesino Maduros from 1999 that were gifted to me recently. I smoked one a few days ago and it was great. I'll smoke the other at some point in the future.

[BroncoHorvath]

1998's Punch Punch that I found in Cuba in 2007 in Cienfuegos. I smoked my last 1996 JL No2 about a month ago....They were delicious.

[Scottw]

Do you have any pics of the Robt. Burns? It would be something to see.

U have a stick (el producto) from 1926 that I will smoke on my 50th birthday when it is 100 and I have a few boxes of 98 Punch Coronas.

PS, I am dying to see Klugs response to this question

[Scottw]

Still impressive, they are smoking well? (sorry for the threadjack).

[markem]

Amazing. Lots of people here (and CS) have gotten some from me. They can possibly chime in with opinions.

[St. Lou Stu]

I have smoked some 1940's and 50's clear havana sticks that were sublime.
My current oldie is a 70's stick that was gifted to me at Shack.
I plan on breaking it out at next year's Shack.

My current oldie that I have a box of is '97 du Deputes.
As far as NCs go I have some 2003 Anejos... I'll get around to those after my daughter's inaugural soccer season wraps up in October.

[ValorBali41]

ITs amazing that an Aficionado was able to keep a cigar for literally a century. This passion goes way back!


But that is a good thing, as our history becomes that much richer! :tu

[qwerty1500]

Still have a couple of 97 Punch Punch left from a box. Really loved their 23 cousins. Probably smoke one some time and leave the other one tucked away for another 10 years or so.

[cherrybomb]

some 98 punch coronas

[dubnick]

I was gifted some assorted 99 cc's

[SkinsFanLarry]

Some 1996 CAO Maduro's....when they were good and still made in Costa Rico.

[DPD6030]

I have a Blackstone 1950 cigar given to me at my very first herf in Canada by Dave (Old Sailor). One day I plan to smoke it. Now I just look at the very yellow cello and :dr

[n3uka]

2 boxes of german cigars from wwII.

Will have to get the guts to break one open one day. :ss

[Don Fernando]

a spanish joy, guessed production between 1890 and 1910, but for certain older then 1930. I got it from Tanith.

[icehog3]

Have some 50s clear Havanas....but the best old ones I have are from the 70s, just like Bruce's dumps.

Don'tcha just hate posts like this one. :tu

[joeybear]

I have about 5 or 6 Partagas ISOMs from about '95 or '96. They were my dad's and I smoke one a year on his birthday.

[68TriShield]

I agree with Dave. I have a few 99 CCs that were gifted RECENTLY but i have been smoking a lot of late 90s stuff that I have been gifted/traded for because to be honest I love them!

I love most cigars,fresh or aged.
I smoke them because I might not be here tomorrow.Another day is not a given ;)

[shilala]

I have a few from the 40's, 50's, and 60's. I've tried them all.
The oldest I've smoked was an old Betsy Ross. She was almost 100.
There's a review right here. (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=16624&highlight=Betsy+Ross)
Scott and I smoked a 40's La Prosa the same day.

[Wolfgang]

1947. It will Die at EYH

[Stig]

I have a grape WHite Owl rolled by Genghis Khan.:tf

[kenstogie]

I have some late 90's stuff like HDM but I was in a reputable cigar shop in Niagara Falls (Canada side) that had many Cubans from the the 50's and 60's. Some were not for sale. What an amazing selection or rare stuff. He had the
"regular" stuff in the front but you had to go in the back to see the good stuff. I felt honored he gave me the tour.

[Mugen910]

1920's-30's and I plan to smoke it some day.

[Noodles]

Oldest I had was some pre embargo Don Candido and Partagas. I paid proper respect to them by burning them one by one.

Oldest I have in my possesion right now are some clear havanas from the 50's.

Oldest "good" cigar I have right now are a few Partagas and SLR from the 70's and 80's. They are quickly disappearing.

Oldest Cigar I bought and age myself are boxes of Monte #2 from 2005 and Party D4's from 2004.

[Mr.Maduro]

I have and smoked some clear havanas from the 1940-50s. I got to try a cuban cigar from the 30s.

[King James]

.but the best old ones I have are from the 70s, just like Bruce's dumps.

lol :r

[BlackDog]

I have a Jamacian Macanudo from 1992 that a friend gave me a while back. I'm sure it's spent, but I ought to smoke it anyhow. Otherwise I've got various CC's from '98 & '99.

[JJG]

This thread could really benefit from some pictures, but I'm not really one to be making requests. I don't have anything even close to the vintage category.

[icantbejon]

My cigars don't survive long enough to get old.
If I'm gifted or buy a old cigar,I smoke it.

I like this concept. I myself behave much in the same manner. However, I'm never rich enough to buy old cigars.

[RDavidP]

Well, I go to NC about once a month to visit family and I always stop by JR Cigars right off of I-95 and have bought some of their vintage cigars. I have some 1990 H. Upmann Cameroon and some 1999 Hoya De Monterrey.

[tobii3]

Some 1996 CAO Maduro's....when they were good and still made in Costa Rico.

Funny...I have some La Floriditas that were rolled in Costa Rica....that was a LONG time ago!

[n3uka]

This thread could really benefit from some pictures

[DoctaJ]

Hmm, I don't think I have anything over a year old in my humidor :r. I just recently upgraded to a larger humidor, so I have a couple sticks I plan on letting sit for a while. I can't believe some of the aged sticks some of you have :dr

[Stig]

I think this post could benefit more from a taste test and a review. I will be happy to volunteer and take one for the team, just send them my way and I will be happy to let you know how they smoke.:D

[looking for know]

Half a box of 1998 Saint Luis Rey Petit Coronas.

[htown]

I have two 50's PL that I will break out in January when my third boy is born. I got them from a BOTL on CO.

[Steve]

I still have a couple of Esplendas that I brought back from a trip the summer before my daughter was born...1999. Not sure how old they were at that time and someone else got the box.

[Coz77]

Check this out (http://www.puff.com/forums/vb/general-cigar-discussion/66509-trying-dig-out-7.html#post795647)... I still have the Anejo #49 (2/28/07) I won from Dgar in my first ever contest on CS. Who knows how long he had it before...

I know its not ancient like some of the other post, but its the oldest in my collection and still pretty special.

[gorob23]

I have a selection of cigars from 1917-1919 gifted to me, but doubt that I will ever smoke. Of the ones I do smoke, the 1857 Robt. Burns panatelas are stellar.

YEA WHATEVER :r

[MarkinAZ]

Nothing real serious. A few Punch Gran Puro Rancho' from 2005, Connie #30' from 2005, and JR Ultimate Cabinet #20' from 2006...

I love the Rancho' though and hate to see the last of em' go:(

[itsme_timd]

I'm a bit behind the times on this thread but it was a great read. How cool to see the pics of the old cigars and read the stories of smoking some of these trreasures.

Until a few weeks ago my oldest cigar would have been a 2004 OpusX that was gifted to me. However, thanks to the gernousity of a couple BOTL here I now have a nice selection of 98-99-00 CC's!

I smoked an El Rey del Mundo PC from '99 today and it was fantastic!
