Only took 7 months but I finally got to go see it and take a pic.

You can't really tell from the picture [it's the only angle I could get] but the cigar has a box press to it and relatively little damage. The capsule was an airtight copper box sealed in the Corner Stone of one of the Campus Buildings.

Someone needs to tell them to put that thing in a glass tube. Perhaps 100 years of preservation, ruined in a few months!
Thanks for the pix, Justin!
