I have cuban cigars.. pre castro..?

Question

i have some cuban cigars.. purchased before the castro era.. how can i sell them.. most retailers tell me they cant sell them because the us has an embargo on cuban items..

Answer 1

sell them on the streets

to kids

trust me

Answer 2

Depends on if they were stored properly and are in good condition.  You might be able to sell them on some of the cigar boards.....

Answer 3

Perhaps try selling in Canada ?

Though I understand that getting cigars to last 50 years takes a lot of careful looking after - are these still in good condition ?

Answer 4

I am only an amateur but I guess that cigars of more than 50 years old are not worth smoking anymore. I read  an interview with the director of the Cohiba cigar factory and he says that a Cohiba ( considered as the best Cuban cigar) has his full taste and potential when it's 5 years old.

In the magazine cigar aficionado they rated a Bolivar Especial dating from 1978 (30 years) as 95/100 coming before a Davidoff of 1989 (19 years) . Much will depend on how they were conditioned and stored. Most retailers will not sell them because the risk that they are bad is high. Note that ebay as stopped the auctions of cigars due to problems with quality and fake brand cigars. A lot of quality cigars are counterfeits , same as expensive wine brands , so people are scared to buy possible bad stuff.

Sorry, when this sound a bit negative.
