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.

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

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

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

I love most cigars,fresh or aged.

Re: Your Oldest Cigar
 
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.
Scott and I smoked a 40's La Prosa the same day.

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 08-26-2009 07:34 AM

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Re: Your Oldest Cigar
 
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.
