Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

I know the pictures aren't that great, but any help would be appreciated. I got two of these in some items I bought. The band says La Palina. Underneath that it says The Quality Cigar. On one side of the band it says Congress Cigar Co. On the other it says Makers.

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

I'm fairly sure it's not Cuban.

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

La Palina is a Clear Havana.

American made with Cuban Tobacco(pre-embargo) and one of the tastier brands as well.

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

OMG... so these are nearly 50 years old???

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

That one looks like 1940s to 1950's.

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

nice find!

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

Now what do I do with them??? I don't think I would smoke them. Are there any places that would buy them?

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

Why wouldn't you smoke them?

If you really don't want to smoke them, I would think there may be some folks here who are interested.

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

why not? I've smoked cigars as old as from the 191x's and loved them.

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

Fire it up and enjoy.

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

You know... I really don't have an answer to that. I guess I figured someone else would be able to appreciate them more. I'll have to think about it. I may smoke one and send one to somebody. I think I have just the person in mind!!

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

True that. If I weren't in a selling (rather than buying) mode I'd snap those up.

How many you have?

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

Only two...

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

Aw, hell...smoke 'em up! :ss

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

Why don't you wait until Friday and celebrate the weekend!!!!!

Kick back after dinner and smoke away the long week, Then you will know if you appreciate it or not :tu

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

What's the point of having cigars and looking at them?
At some point looking only does so much for you. Light it up and tell us what you taste.

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

Agreed. Put it to a fiery death. :cb

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

It looks like a major dog rocket with some wrapping paper that was consumed and reprocessed...;)

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

I second the motion to fire it up and give us your thoughts

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

If you want, I will take one of your hands for friendship:tu

Re: Tell me about this old (possibly CC) cigar
 

This is cool! There has to be some really interesting story about how you came into possession of these cigars. Tell us!
