Can Anyone tell me about this cigar...

Katt68

Hello all, Sorry that I have been away for a while. I have been with my Dad this summer while he battled cancer. He lost his battle on the 5th this month. While going through his things I found this cigar. Can anyone tell me anything about it. Thanks in advance.

Bering was really popular during the cigar boom. Honduran/Dominican, super mild.

That one looks pretty dried out.

that does look a bit rough around the edges.

Also, sorry to hear about your loss.

Is that an MRE case in the background?

It is marketed by Swisher. Listed as a machine made.
Swisher has owned the Bering brand since 1985.
Corral Wodiska y Ca. out of Ybor City, which produced Bering Premium cigars from 1905 to early 1985.
It rivaled the Kind Edward cigars in early times.
Honduras wrapper with Dominican Republic/Honduras/Mexico/Nicaragua fillers.
It is still sold all around the world.
It has been around for some time.

My grandfather used to joke about Bering and Kind Edwards cigars, that sometimes they'd have been better off to smoke the cardboard box.

IMHO, the cigar matters a whole lot less than the fact it was your Dad's cigar. Been there myself. Keep it and treasure it, or smoke it in his honor. Can't go wrong with memories...

Thank you to all of you for the kind words. Also the info on the cigar. Yes I probably will not smoke it. I too thought it was really dried out. My Dad was a pipe smoker primarily, so it was a shock to find this in his things. I just wish I knew when, where and who it came from. Maybe Dad will give that info sometime.
