Free Cigars
« on: November 17, 2014, 08:30:38 PM »
Coworker just gave me these from trip to Cuba. I am not sure if they are legitimate as they don't have a holographic seal on the box. They pass the internet checklist for authenticity without actually smoking them. They were purchased 1 week ago in Havana during a private guided tour.
I don't smoke and want to give them to someone who does. I don't want to sell them, just pay this gesture forward.

I only smoke for a 4 day stretch, once a year, :) during the boys' annual trip to HiHium Lake.

I'll take them off your hands.

I can't PM on this site, so feel free to email me at the email addy in my profile.

They'll dry out by then, unless it's before Christmas.

Done Clarki,

They are in a zip lock...I believe that if you put a moistened paper towel in the bag (not touching the cigars) a day or two before smoking they should be fine.

They'll fit in my humidor! Where do you work or live? I work in Burnaby, near City Hall; live in Richmond.

Nope, June. 

I'm showing my ignorance here (what do you expect from a one yearly smoker? :))...cigars dry out?

Yup, within days. (edit) I add water to my humidors each weekend.

Silver, I smoked these cigars at Hihium Lake 3 weeks ago. Thanks very much!

I didn't have them in a humidor, so they sat in my drawer for 7 mos.  They smoked fine enough for this cigar newb.  Then again, I bet dried oak leaves rolled in newspaper would smoke well for me too :)
