So I stop into my favorite B&M this morning and he is unpacking a big order. I see some strange 3 cigar tins sitting there. I have smoked one of these before, but never seen the tin. So I ask if he is selling them, and he said 2 are spoken for, but the Robustos is yours if you want it. $60.54 for the 3. Now, the question comes up, do I open and smoke in a month or two, or do I just keep sealed and let it look pretty?
Sometimes you have to go out on a limb, because that is where the fruit is.

look pretty ??? what are .. a doll collector ??
I say open it up RIGHT NOW.. smell the cigars, touch the cigars, and smell them again.. then put them back in the tin for as long as you can endure, then take one out and smoke it... let the other 2 site for as long as you can, then smoke the 2nd one and compare it with the 1st one you had.... depending on how much the cigar has mellowed out, you'll decide when to smoke the last one..
So you're asking if you should smoke these or not? I'm not sure what you mean by "let it look pretty". Do you mean you're going to age them or use the tin and cigars as a decoration?
If you're looking to age, it doesn't matter if the seal is broken or not, might as well open it and inspect the cigars. If you're using it for decoration, find something cheaper to decorate.
It was all a little tongue in cheek guys, relax. what I meant was that in the stand up glass front humidor I have, the tin looks nice sitting there. Of course I am going to smoke them.
