Anyone know what these are?

a scorched box bottom on an old box of cigars usually indicates they were lovingly cared for, and are typical of a vintage box of the type. Usually examples like this have a Toasty, Charcoaly, Dead Ashtray flavor, followed by a musty flair in the finish.

I have no knowledge of that marca. I have smoked recently cigars from 1919 and 1923 that were made with Cuban long filler and US wrappers. They smoked incredible. All the people who shared them on the puff pass were well versed in CCs and NCs and all stated that the cigars were quite good.

The price that they are asking is about average for such sticks. As with any cigar purchase from someone with whom you have no trust relationship: caveat emptor. That said, I know several people who do buy old cigars off ebay and such and have found some incredible cigars that way.
