What was the NC market like before the embargo.

Kennedy was having "relations" with Monroe and America was actually a superpower.

We're definitely still a super power.

I actually smoked a cigar with my grandfather recently. He was a regular cigar smoker back in his days before health problems. He told me that all his cigars used to come in boxes with the Cuban seal. He dug one out for me. He said the Oliva V I gave him was bland compared to what he used to smoke.

I would imagine it would have drastically effected the prices of NC's?

I've never had a Cuban, so I don't understand the hype. In time, I guess

How is America not a superpower?

But on subject. This thread intrigues me. I wonder if anyone has a stash of pre embargo NC's that have been properly kept throughout the years. It's a loooooong shot in the dark, but who knows. Would be interesting to smoke one, especially an all American brand, which is pretty hard to find nowadays in the mainstream market.

Many people do, I have several in my humidor now. Several usually make the rounds in puff-puff-passes at some of the big herfs.

I have a pretty good stash of pre-embargo NC's. They taste much like old cigars. You'll find a number of reviews here, as a matter of fact.
