It's A Girl

Skywalker · 09-01-2009, 12:34 AM

For you guys who are married - If you had the chance to smoke the very cigars that your Father-in-law passed out the day your wife was born would you???

My Mother-in-law found these Saturday!!!

Here is the catch! My wife was born in 1980 so these have nothing to do with a pre-embargoed tobacco and they have not been properly cared for in 29 years!!!

I'd smoke one just to say I did, Darrell, even if it was dried out and flavorless. How many of us would ever have that opportunity?

Gotta smoke at least one and keep at least one.

Ditto what Tom said. Who can say they smoked a cigar like that?

I'd have to give a try as well.

Agree with the Hog!

Very cool to be able to do that... hope they don't just go up in a quick puff of smoke when you light it.

Aren't White Owls dry cured ? Meaning they don't need humidification . I've never smoked one so I don't really know . Just that I can't ever remember seeing them kept in a humidor . Nice find . I still have some from both of my daughters birth's . Fuente Brevas to be exact .

Skywalker · 09-02-2009, 01:11 AM

Thanks Tom and all who weighed in!!!

I will smoke one soon, post a picture (maybe a review), and save the rest!!!

And as Richard suggested smoke one with Jacob when he's old enough!!!

bobarian · 09-01-2009, 01:21 AM

Those are a great find Darrell. I agree with the Admiral, gotta at least smoke one with pics and save the rest for posterity.

sikk50 · 09-01-2009, 01:27 AM

Daaaang Darrell!

bvilchez · 09-01-2009, 01:38 AM

I'ld keep one just to have b/c of the occasion.

G G · 09-01-2009, 06:38 AM

I have to agree with the other's. I'd have to just cause. That is very cool. I still have one of the "It's a boy" cigars I bought when my son was born in 1989.

chippewastud79 · 09-01-2009, 06:40 AM

Very cool to come across regardless of what they may taste like.

Starchild · 09-01-2009, 06:56 AM

Very cool! Got to smoke one out of principal. Save the rest.

Nice find!

DonniePaul · 09-01-2009, 06:58 AM

WOW! What a great find!

Go for it! What could go wrong?

kaisersozei · 09-01-2009, 07:14 AM

Absolutely!

But I'd wait to smoke it until your own baby is born--maybe with your FIL--and then put the rest away until the next generation comes along!

I really like this idea.

TripleF · 09-01-2009, 07:15 AM

Actuaclly I think I'd place them in some sort of clear plastic box for display and save them. More then likely they won't have more flavor than smoking a newspaper and you'll trow it out after the first inch, then regret smoking it, cuz you could saved it.

Just my 2 cents
