Found an old tin from Serv-us brand cigars. states new york yet wrapper on cigars states Serv-us brand, Londers. The old catalog states La Serva cigars. 5 remain in tin and in pristine condition still wrapped with rice paper (?) and has the Serv-us coupons as well. looking for history/knowledge and if there is any value to them or should they hit the trash bin?

    They’re from the mid to late 20s. Made by El Dallo Tobacco Company in Maryland. The tin originally came with 50 cigars.

    Those are pretty cool. I would put them in a ziplock with a boveda 62 and hold on to them for a while.

    1/2 mill is a heck of a cash value for the coupon.

    1/2 mill means half of 1 then as a term. so its 1/2 of 1 credit.

    to be honest they smell amazing so firing 1 up may happen.... then again maybe just save em for someone else

    A mill is 1/10th of a cent or $0.001.
