Have found 20 boxes (OWB) of pre-castro cigars, most Dunhill brand, in the wine cellar of a deceased client. Need help finding value of these.

I can't be of much help, other than to mention the following:

-Provenance and storage/condition will be major factors.

-The specific brands/vitolas will probably matter as well. Not sure when you write Dunhill, if you're mentioning Don Candidos, or the variety of "Dunhill Seleccions" that were sold under other brand names (Montecristo, etc.).

If they're just Dunhill branded, then I think they're newer (earlier 80's-early 90's), but quite valuable.

Others will have better, more specific knowledge than I.

Actually there are. While the Dunhill brand wasn't made until the '80s, Dunhill Seleccion cigars (Don Candidos, for example) were made starting in the '30s. e-mail me at spammy33@aol.com and I'll try to help you in valuing the cigars.

yes i am aware of that. Roll Eyes if someone is saying i have pre-embargo cuban cigars mostly "DUNHILL" being the brand (not don candido or don alfredo, which is plainly viewable on the boxes themselves) than there are no such thing.
don candido and don alfredo are the brands of the actuall cigars, by dunhill ,yes.
if these are the boxes being mentioned i am sure that it would have been stated so.
im calling bravo-sierra( b.s.) on this post anyway. thus the lack of explanation about the dunhill history itself.

Encyclopedia Brown once proved that an antique war sword was fake because it was inscribed to someone commemorating the "First Battle of Bull Run". Well, how would they know to do that if a second battle hadn't occurred yet?

Never mind.
