That's awesome:tu

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

+1 on that. Someone needs to smoke that bad boy.

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

A 100 year old cigar is what it said....I believe it's at least 103 years old:D

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

Love to take a puff off of that. :tu

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

Wonder what the humidity was like in there

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

Wonder if it was a CC or not?

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

That's too damn cool.... Even if it was dry and the stick went up like kindling, its worth it. How many people have ever smoked a cigar that old? Makes me wonder..... how heavy is the security on campus......?

You might be surprised. :ss

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

Stashed 'em away as a teenager and held onto them all this time huh? Well that's patience for you, well done. ;):D

I had the pleasure of being part of a PPP at Shack Herf III where we smoked a Partagas 25th Anniversary perfecto. The cigar was from 1905 and we were truly amazed at the quality of the construction as well as the depth of flavor for a cigar so old.

You can see pics of it at www.shackherf.com

That isn't even funny, implying that Peter was a teenager in 1907.



He was 36.

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

Oh snap!

That made me laugh. :D

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

Yay!! :wo :banger

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

It was definitely interesting

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

:r:r:r My stomach is killing me from laughing so hard

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

That's what i was wondering.

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

Hope it wasn't plugged.

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

If I have a moment I'm gonna make some excuse to swing by the building and I'll get a pic to post of the cigar. :tu

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

well, this IS alabama after all... ;)

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

Probably the 1907 equivalent of a Gorilla Finger... :r

Only took 7 months but I finally got to go see it and take a pic.

You can't really tell from the picture [it's the only angle I could get] but the cigar has a box press to it and relatively little damage. The capsule was an airtight copper box sealed in the Corner Stone of one of the Campus Buildings.

Plume!
It looks disgusting.
I'd smoke it.

Re: UA Opens 1907 Time Capsule....
 

Someone needs to tell them to put that thing in a glass tube. Perhaps 100 years of preservation, ruined in a few months!

Thanks for the pix, Justin! :tu

Yikes! It looks like the Baby Ruth from Caddyshack DOODIE!!!!!
