While clearing out my Uncle's basement...

I always remembered him smoking cigars, but I was young and didn't pay attention. Check out these old Fuente 8-5-8 boxes I found.

Any guesses as to how ole the boxes are?

I also found about 60 "glass tubes" from cigars too.

It's both too bad, and a good thing that they weren't full. I'd have been bummed to find a 20-yr+ old cigar that was wothless.
 
lol, from the title, I was afraid it was another report of long neglected cigars. Very nice find there!
 
Grandma called me today and said there are several hundred in HS basement. She just brought these over to "put nick-nacks in."

Now, he's been smoking cigars since the 1940s...so I'm hoping to find some cool boxes over there. I'll head over this weekend and see what else I can find.
 
Florida has lots of information online.
Go to myflorida.com and search corporations.
You have the information on the company in Tampa on the box.
At minimum, you can find out from what year to what year that corporation existed in Florida.
It can at least give you a guide as to what period that box is from.
 
Doug, if he's like me, you won't find any extra cigars in those boxes. It will pretty cool to rummage through hundreds of old boxes. Enjoy your new find.
