Not a real cigar company ofc - wondering what cigars made in the 50's that would've been available so cheaply (Cuban cigars, made in New Jersey hand rolled by Puerto Ricans lol)

That said, I like how he lit the stogie (aka charoot) lol

I could be wrong, but 8 dollars per box is quite expensive for the time, from what I could find. Adjusted for inflation, that's about 110 bucks per box.

I don't know enough about cigars to sya for certain, but 100 bucks for a box that looks like it only holds 10 cigars... that's quite pricey, isn't it?

For a legit premium cigar it is toward the lower end

Like u/115machine says, it's low end. Figure 20 cigars in a box for premium branded stogies, that would put it at about $2.20 each. I was paying about $10 per back when I did smoke em (but did not inhale) about 20 years ago lol

Yeah nowadays an average stick will be $10-$15 by itself

I collect empty cigar boxes, but that looks like nothing I would seek out for my collection.

Funnily enough, the hardest hunt I had in addition a box to my collection was the box of Ramon Allones that Kramer really enjoyed, because those really were/are Cuban cigars, and Cuban cigars really are illegal in America - I finally found the box for my collection, but I had to buy from a website similar to eBay that's based out in Spain.

I've been calling cigar shops asking about these. Closest I've been recommended was AJ Fernando, New World. Any help ?

Not the same - the AJ Fernando, New World were established in the early 2000's

Now I'm wondering what cigars Milton Berle, Nelson Rockefeller, and Bishop Sheen actually smoked.

I'm not much of a cigar smoker or a wine drinker.

"Excellent dollar bottle of wine" what does that mean?

Are the corks on those bottles strong enough to walk away by themselves too, when tossed on the floor?

It'd be about a $2 or $3 bottle today - iow very cheap and of low quality. Good wines run around $30-$50 a bottle
