Given up Smoking But.........

[pug406]

I have a sealed box of 50 King Edwards Invincible cigars in the cupboard. What can I expect to get for the box- Contents will be free to buyer of the box - on Ebay?

Thanks

Dave

Wouldn'd have a clue as to value in real terms, but if you're looking to just get rid of them, i'd be interested.

Having said that, you could make a tidy sum as you want to sell them, www.uktobacco.com have them at £14.42 for 5!!!!

Depends how long they've been in the cupboard...and lack of humidity. if they're dried out they'll be worth nothing.
Expect a buyer to try one before he buys the rest.

They have been in there for about 3 months. There is also 9 packs of 5 in there also.

I know a cigar auctioneer. I'll get him to look at this thread. He might be able to help you

What do you consider the humidity level to have been like over the 3 month period?
central heating is a killer !!! - if left unheated, then perhaps they'll be ok - the only way to be certain of their condition is to try one...perhaps a cigar from the other packs you have.
Roll it round between thumb and 4 fingers....if it falls apart in splinters...they're all dud.
If it feels firm with a bit of spring to it...then they're fine.

No heating in the bedroom - we make our own

Rolled a fat one and they are fine. I always thaught they would be. I suppose I ought to get rid of my Humidor also. Parting with my cigar cutters will be a wrench as they have all been presents.

Then maybe you need some of this:



Frictions a killer.

Oddly, I brought 25 Invincible's back from Bahrain last year, I've only puffed 4. ISTR they were less than £8 the lot
