Pretty crazy stuff! Obviously super unsmokable due to the age and lack of proper storage, but still kind of cool. I think his price is insanely outrageous, but I'll bet somebody buys them! I'd be afraid to be the purchaser for authentication reasons...

No way a cigar is more delicate than the box so the cigars should look destroyed judging by the look of the box.

Interesting and cool.  Would love to see them in person.  
 
I thought you couldn't sell tobacco on ebay?  Are these grandfathered due to the age of them?  I don't think they'll sell for $10K, but it's a unique possession, none the less!

You can. Most just say, "Oh, it's for the bands that are collectible," which we all know is crap.

Gotcha.  Learn a something new loophole every day!

Awwww...I was going to bid on it but it looks like it ended

 

[Tall Paul]

Guess my $1 bid was no good

 

[DeputyDawg]

Sorry Paul, I bid-jacked you. I went to $2.50.

If you got it spend it!

This guy is located about half way between Broblues and I.  Maybe we should meet up for a vintage cigar herf.
