Good review! Yes, they were sold to General a while back.

I love these cigars too and have a couple boxes squirreled away right now. The box press was my favorite cigar out of my newbie sampler buy from Cigars International. I bought about 30 cigars, and the 50 Years was the last one I smoked due to I associated the dark wrapper with overpowering strength and flavors. How wrong I was, and I also distinctly remember the ash hanging on all the way to the band. These are great cigars.
