So, you're not to blame, @mgappling. We get a LOT of flack here, scammers and worse, and then someone comes along with a legit question and over-reaction sets in quickly.

Your cigars are worth what you say they are, to you. It's possible that someone might want to put them on display somewhere. There's a place near me called Discovery Park of America that has a couple ancient cigars included in one of their displays, but I doubt they carry much $$ value.

If you're actually interested in the hobby, this is the place. If you're looking for a venue to sell stuff, not so much.

I think that if I were you, I'd build a little display box, include one of those preservative packs somewhere unseen, and mount a little plaque with some information about your grandfather, maybe a picture or two, and be happy with the memories.

Smoke them anyway, just so you can say you did.

Here is a picture of the actual upmann cigar.

Wow, come on to a forum hoping to find some info and get met with a couple douchebags.

What info were you hoping to hear? That they are with a few hundred dollars or more, and that perhaps we'd like to buy them? We smoke cigars, we don't collect them. The value they have, as one douchebag told you, is in their sentimental value, nothing else. If you don't already value them for that reason, then they are worthless.

Time has not treated that cigar well. These spots here are mold. They look like deep mold that can’t be wiped off. I’d suggest keeping them as a keepsake and if you’re interested in the hobby, possible making them into a display.
