  • Does anyone know anything about cigars? And OMG!!!

    I visited my grandmother the other day, and god bless her she has a habit of giving me her stuff! Anyway we were talking about my late grandfather, her late husband who died in '78, 7 years before I was born. From what I know of him it is Apolyton's loss that he died 20 years before he could participate here... he'd have loved it.

    Back on topic, he was a fan of pipes and cigars. When he and my grandmother got married in 1953, he was given a box of "Wills Castella" Panatellas. He never smoked any of them. I now have them in my position. They are in absolutely mint condition, he never even took them out of the plastic wrapper. I was an idiot and broke the label seal on the box to look inside... these cigars haven't been opened in 52 years! .

    Opinions?

    By the way, apologies for the appaling quality of my webcam

          Perhaps, but they're even in their individual plastic wrappers!

            Maybe you should contact someone at this site. You might be able to sell them for a fair bit of money, since some of the '60's cubans are being sold for 60 quid each.

              Of course, those might not be Cuban. Seems that brand was known mostly for their playing cards.

              Does the box say were they were made?

                I don't know... on the inside it says "rolled by W.D. & H.O. Wills" which don't exactly sound Cuban to me.
