Cigars/Cardboard cigar boxes- ?$ worth
Advertisement
Question
My close friend's mom passed away just before this Christmas in NH. My husband & I have moved from NC thereto help her clean up a 2200 sqft house. I came across several J.B.Back and Company cardboard Panetela Cedarap cigar boxes all in great condition. Any chance they'd be worth something?
Just curious but we'd really like to know. :)
Thank you in advance for checking. bj
BJ,
J.B. Back Cedarap cigars were made in Kingston, NY until 1986 when the factory closed and production was moved to our facility in San Antonio, Texas. The boxes you have are likely cardboard boxes with paper wrappers and don't have a great deal of value. I suggest you look at ebay and see what other cigar boxes sell for - there are thousands of boxes listed on that site.
Wish I could be of more help.

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
