It's A Girl

[Skywalker]

For you guys who are married - If you had the chance to smoke the very cigars that your Father-in-law passed out the day your wife was born would you???

My Mother-in-law found these Saturday!!!

Here is the catch! My wife was born in 1980 so these have nothing to do with a pre-embargoed tobacco and they have not been properly cared for in 29 years!!!

I'd smoke one just to say I did, Darrell, even if it was dried out and flavorless. How many of us would ever have that opportunity? :)

Just don't say "Honey this tastes better......"

[bobarian]

Those are a great find Darrell. I agree with the Admiral, gotta at least smoke one with pics and save the rest for posterity.:tu

[sikk50]

Daaaang Darrell!

[bvilchez]

I'ld keep one just to have b/c of the occasion.

[G G]

I have to agree with the other's. I'd have to just cause. That is very cool. I still have one of the "It's a boy" cigars I bought when my son was born in 1989.

[chippewastud79]

Very cool to come across regardless of what they may taste like. :tu

[Starchild]

Very cool! Got to smoke one out of principal. Save the rest.

Nice find!

[DonniePaul]

WOW! What a great find!:tu

Go for it! What could go wrong?

[kaisersozei]

Absolutely! :tu But I'd wait to smoke it until your own baby is born--maybe with your FIL--and then put the rest away until the next generation comes along!

[TripleF]

Actuaclly I think I'd place them in some sort of clear plastic box for display and save them. More then likely they won't have more flavor than smoking a newspaper and you'll trow it out after the first inch, then regret smoking it, cuz you could saved it.


Just my 2 cents

[SmokinApe]

Nice!

[GoldnGT]

Do it! As most of the other people have said.. keep a few so that you an have them for display b/c its very cool.. but you should try it!

[poriggity]

I'd smoke one, then save at least one, just because, and definetly save the box.

:tpd: I really like this idea.:tu

[Jimbo14]

Any chance they would be good after rehumidification?

[marge796]

Top Notch find.

[rizzle]

Gotta smoke at least one and keep at least one.

[tzaddi]

Very Nice Darrell, save one to smoke with your latest son :D

[Blindjimme]

No. :)

I'm with most, one for the experience and save the rest. :tu

[Gophernut]

No real opinion other than to say that's a really cool find!:banger

Ditto what Tom said. Who can say they smoked a cigar like that?

:tpd: I'd have to give a try as well.

Agree with the Hog!

Very cool to be able to do that... hope they don't just go up in a quick puff of smoke when you light it. :D

[Bubba - NJ]

Aren't White Owls dry cured ? Meaning they don't need humidification . I've never smoked one so I don't really know . Just that I can't ever remember seeing them kept in a humidor . Nice find . I still have some from both of my daughters birth's . Fuente Brevas to be exact . :2

[Skywalker]

Thanks Tom and all who weighed in!!!

I will smoke one soon, post a picture (maybe a review), and save the rest!!!

And as Richard suggested smoke one with Jacob when he's old enough!!!:tu

[icehog3]

Enjoy the experience, Darrell! :D

[gnukfu]

I want to see the cigars that were handed out when you were born Darrell!!! :ss....

[Steve]

Sure...

Actually, I was at my dad's (a non-smoker) house a couple of months ago and found a couple of the cigars (Fuente banded "It's a Girl") that I gave him to pass out when my daughter was born (in 99). They were still in the box, but they were in the spare room in a dresser, not a humi. It wasn't great, but it was fun to spend a quite moment with him and remember the day!

I don't think tobacco was in the country yet. :D

It was in the country, we didn't have the rudimentary tools to cultivate it yet!!!;)

It didn't taste very good and the draw was horrible. Good burn line through. :r:r:r
