VINTAGE CIGARS

 HOW DO YOU OPEN A 1925 BOX OF HABANA CIGARS??

Well my friends, pictured below is a 1925 box of La Imperial Habana cigars (clear Havana),

still sealed since 1925...........and now, (drum roll please maestro) you will see for the very

first time the contents of this sealed 1925 box.

What will we find inside, large very well fed cigar beetles? Hundreds of dollars in currency?
Perhaps a deed to an old gold or silver mine? Cigars?

We will need a razor to make a nice clean cut of the Henry Clay tax stamp!

One of the most important tools is a cigar box opening tool, in this case we will use a George Washington hatchet type of cigar box opening tool.

Who better to open this box!

Now the trick is to carefully use George to pry open this old box without cracking the wood, by George I think we did it!

And now, for the first time in more than 80 years we get a peek at La Imperial.......................

she looks lovely doesn't she?

So what can possibly be underneath the paper separator? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

We just find these cigars to be amazingly beautiful, silver foiled beauties untouched by

human hands for more than 80 years.........superb presentation!!

Here is a closeup of the cigars themselves, just love the stars on the foil, they look truly

 Imperial in quality!

CIGAR HUMOR

I have read a lot about Taboada and how good his cigars are.........................well, the only one who rolls custom cigars for me is "Ada" he has lovely strong thighs, only amateurs need a board to roll their sticks.

Ada uses her strong muscular thighs as a board. When most rollers need two hands to roll a decent smoke.

 Ada uses a patented technique of a single hand roll (needs the other hand to lift her dress).

The classic rolling a cigar print from 1938 by Ada Peacock...........looks like she rolls a great figurado and smokes 'em too!

If I weren't already married I would say............"Ada will you marry me?"
