i bet they taste like mold considering the amount they have on them.

even if they didnt, they are so old that i bet there is little to no flavor left in them. that is a ton of age
no mention on if they were maintained at all.
nice humidor/box they were in though

Dennis, according to his location he is only about 20 minutes away from me. Too bad I'm not friends with him. :-) I would love to give one of those a go!

Those things haven't been maintained for 70 years and are worthless as cigars. A collector may want them.

Yikes. Yuck. There are some sticks from this era out there though to be had, in perfect condition. Brooks and Steve at SmokingStogie have done a fair number of reviews of these.
