I know the pictures aren't that great, but any help would be appreciated. I got two of these in some items I bought. The band says La Palina. Underneath that it says The Quality Cigar. On one side of the band it says Congress Cigar Co. On the other it says Makers.





Anyone???

I'm fairly sure it's not Cuban.

La Palina is a Clear Havana.

American made with Cuban Tobacco(pre-embargo) and one of the tastier brands as well.

OMG... so these are nearly 50 years old???
[Reply]

That one looks like 1940s to 1950's.

nice find!
[Reply]

Now what do I do with them??? I don't think I would smoke them. Are there any places that would buy them?
[Reply]

Why wouldn't you smoke them?

If you really don't want to smoke them, I would think there may be some folks here who are interested.
[Reply]

why not? I've smoked cigars as old as from the 191x's and loved them.
[Reply]

Fire it up and enjoy.
[Reply]

You know... I really don't have an answer to that. I guess I figured someone else would be able to appreciate them more. I'll have to think about it. I may smoke one and send one to somebody. I think I have just the person in mind!!
[Reply]

True that. If I weren't in a selling (rather than buying) mode I'd snap those up.

How many you have?
[Reply]

Only two...
[Reply]

Aw, hell...smoke 'em up! :-)
[Reply]

Why don't you wait until Friday and celebrate the weekend!!!!!

Kick back after dinner and smoke away the long week, Then you will know if you appreciate it or not :-)
[Reply]

What's the point of having cigars and looking at them?
At some point looking only does so much for you. Light it up and tell us what you taste.
[Reply]

Agreed. Put it to a fiery death. :-)
[Reply]

It looks like a major dog rocket with some wrapping paper that was consumed and reprocessed...:-)
[Reply]

I second the motion to fire it up and give us your thoughts
[Reply]

If you want, I will take one of your hands for friendship:-)
