Bobrow Brothers Bold Invincibles, 1932

Your recent reviews inspired me to fire up a 1940's La Prosa last night, Joe....it held up pretty darn well for a 70 year old smoke.

Sweet! Smoking something like that connects you in a small way to a time that most of us can only imagine.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'm glad to be able to share these ancient sticks with all of you.

Tom, you might recall the 2001 (or so) Añejos I scored in December of '06; despite the presence of some water damage to the bands, I've smoked several of them in the six years since and found them to be marvelous. The next time we get a substantial group together for a local herf I'm going to bring one for a PPP. I'd love to get a group review of an 10-year-old Añejo.

Hi there - I just found this site while looking for images of Bobrow Brothers Cigars. I can't tell you how excited I was to read, not only that you had some of these cigars, but that you enjoyed smoking them so much. You see, the Bobrow brothers were my great-grandfather and great-uncles. I grew up in a cloud of Sunday evening cigar smoke, my grandfather a master smoke-ring blower. What a delight to learn that people are still smoking and enjoying my family's legacy all these years later!

If you aren't using those cigar bands for anything else, I would dearly love to have one of my own. Please let me know if that's possible! Thanks for your wonderful review; I'm going to share it with my mother and I know she will love the memories it will evoke for her.

Cheers,
Amy

How freakin' cool is this! It makes me very happy that you have that connection to these wonderful smokes, and that you found this thread. When I smoke these or any of the other really old cigars, I always like to imagine being in the store at the time, smoking them fresh. I envy your connection through your family.
