Gavin is right Chad. I can't tell from the picture either, but often at the back of the range or freestanding oven, there is a hood vent that when you press a button it raises up and turns on. Kind of like those entertainment centers where you push a button and the TV pops up out of the cabinet...

No. These are from the 60's and not pre-embargo The embargo started in 1958. Alexander from Cubancigarwebsite did find me a few examples from old catalogs. The bands were different for the box version. One of the examples he and I did manage to find that had those same bands came from a glass...

Are we still talking about cigars?

Happy Belated Birthday Phil!! I hope it was a great one brother!!!

A unicorn find for sure! 1960's H. Uphman Double Coronas. You will not find these on BR or most European auction sites due to how rare this particular vitola is. Do a search, and you will find out exactly how rare. As soon as I saw this intact box was up for grabs, I didn't hesitate! 😎

Eat a bag of dicks you two timing bitch!

Oooops! That's gonna leave a mark..

Shit, I had forgotten by now. 😁

Happy Birthday Chad! Hope it was a great one!!!

You did? When did you blow me off? 🤔

Oh yeah! I remember those interesting looking cigars.

Two months social security.

Don't judge the first 1/4 - 1/2 inch. They tend to start out very peppery. But, then that profile Rod is talking about will show itself.

Between Montecristo and Partagas, I can't say I've had a lackluster one.
