That's good news. Maybe the tobacconist you spoke to would be wiiling to purchase them at a discount and revive them for his inventory?

Yeah, just a few months. Dad had been smoking cigars for 60-70 years -- not from these specific boxes.

The tobacconist wasn't interested, unfortunately.

I totally understand the uncertainty of buying from an unknown source, so I suppose if someone is interested, I might suggest buying one box and if the person is satisfied with the quality, they could buy the others. I'm not going to open a box, though, to send out samples. They have been sealed for your protection. :-)

The source isn't the problem, the problem is that they haven't been kept properly. Honesty is a good thing on your part, however, you won't find anyone interested in paying for dry cigars around here.
