+1 on that. Someone needs to smoke that bad boy.

A 100 year old cigar is what it said....I believe it's at least 103 years old

Love to take a puff off of that.

Wonder what the humidity was like in there

maninblack · 04-11-2010, 10:24 PM

Wonder if it was a CC or not?

That's what i was wondering.

That's too damn cool.... Even if it was dry and the stick went up like kindling, its worth it. How many people have ever smoked a cigar that old? Makes me wonder..... how heavy is the security on campus......?

I had the pleasure of being part of a PPP at Shack Herf III where we smoked a Partagas 25th Anniversary perfecto. The cigar was from 1905 and we were truly amazed at the quality of the construction as well as the depth of flavor for a cigar so old.

You can see pics of it at www.shackherf.com

That isn't even funny, implying that Peter was a teenager in 1907.

He was 36.

My stomach is killing me from laughing so hard

If I have a moment I'm gonna make some excuse to swing by the building and I'll get a pic to post of the cigar.

Kreth · 04-12-2010, 10:53 AM

Probably the 1907 equivalent of a Gorilla Finger...

Only took 7 months but I finally got to go see it and take a pic.

You can't really tell from the picture [it's the only angle I could get] but the cigar has a box press to it and relatively little damage. The capsule was an airtight copper box sealed in the Corner Stone of one of the Campus Buildings.
