Don't know??? - Got these cigars from a buddy who picks up antiques from estate sales. He knew I enjoyed cigars and said he picked these up at a recent sale. The first Perfecto Garcia, 2nd is an Apostolado and the 3rd is a Royal Jamaica Churchill. The RJC looks really dried out and needs attention but I haven't brought myself to the point of trying any of these cigars. What do you guys think....am I looking at dog rockets here?

How long have they been neglected? More than a few months and they're probably trash but rehumidifying them is worth a try.

:tpd:

It's definitely worth a try. I'd say put them in the humi for a long long rest. Give some real time to soak up some humidity and see what happen. You never know, they could be the best cigars you'll ever have.
 
I recently smoked a partags I had had for 8 years. The info I got about the stick when I bought it was that it had been aged 7 years before going to market, so I guess that would be a 15 year old cigar. I remember it being VERY nice. :tu
 
1979...a Davidoff Dom Peringon that I bought a charity auction a few years ago...one of the best cigars I have smoked...
 
I have smoked a few vintage Cuban cigars, the oldest and best were two Partagás Petit Fleurs that were about 30 years old, simply amazing cigars! Recently I also fully enjoyed a Montecristo Tubos No. 1 (I believe!) from 1990 but otherwise, vintage cigars is not really my thing!

I've tried Cohiba Lanceros from the 80's, Cuban Davidoffs and some others markas and with ages from 15-25 years but they simply don't do it for me. I want concentration and some strength in my cigars and I find that more easy, and especially at lower cost, in non-vintage cigars!
 
Oldest I've smoked recently was a 2001 Punch Ninfa. It was my last "legal" cigar before Ill-noise' draconian smoking law kicked in.
 
I crashed a wedding rehearsal party many years back, 1992 or so, and had a great time. I was friends with the waiter who worked at the restaurant where the party was held, he called me and told me to get my ass over there, and to dress appropriately. I got there, he introduced me around, and I was invited to join in the festivities. After a little beer, pizza, more beer, etc. the father of the groom pulled out 2 boxes of cigars for everyone to partake. I was in line to get one, and noticed a cigar on the table so I took that one instead of waiting. I cut it, lit it, and sat back loving it. Then I hear "who the hell took my cigar!!!" Apparently, it was a 1940ish cuban that the groom's grandfather brought back from Cuba when he was in the navy. The father had one...ONE...left that he was saving for his only son's wedding. I never fessed up, but I sure as hell enjoyed that cigar. :tu :ss

Great. You sound like a real gentleman. :sl
