if you had one hundred dollars to spend on one single cigar what would it be? (it doesnt have to be exactly one hundred dollars.)

thats just insane 1000 dollars for a cigar "but they throw in a bottle of whiskey" so that will make up for it.Quote:

Not anywhere near $100, but I'd really like to try a Montecristo A.
Probably a cuban davidofff

They're pretty darn decent. You should try one if you get the chance. Since this is an "expensive cigar" thread, you can probably guess I don't have a bunch lying around.....whenever I pick one up it never seems to survive long. :smiley41:Quote:

LOL at people saying "Gurkha".
Without doubt a Cuban Davidoff Dom Perignon.
There must be an echo in here.
(echo in here)

:smiley5:
*edit* I just looked up the current online price of a box. It looks like, in addition to everything else, you priced gouged the shit out of a cigar that was already retardedly price gouged by the manufacturer. Cigar.com, which offers far from the best box deals, has a box of Beauties for $675. A fucking horrendous deal to begin with, but after your ass-reaming $325 higher gougefest, it goes from dumb to just plain flatline IQ idiocy on the part of the buyer, and highway fucking robbery on your part.
Don't forget...California has an obscenely high tobacco tax rate.Quote:

Not really fair to compare bhand's store to anything online. I'm not sure where cigar.com is centered, but my guess is it's not cali.
Very true - Commiefornia's taxes are abysmal. However, buying a box of Beauties as an intro to cigar smoking is an equally terrible idea.
Also, your data is pretty outdated. Cali's current tax is about 15% lower than that.

Wow, is there anyone else you in this thread you want to pile on before you're done?
i dont make the prices i just sell the stuff and i like the whole gurkha line if she has the money to pay it then i let her she wanted the most expensive cigar and so i sold it to her.

The title of the thread is "most expensive cigar", so here's the top two I thought of.
The Cohiba Behike is selling around 470-500 and the 1492 has been selling for 500 from what I have heard.
Personally if I had 100 just to drop on a cigar, I'd get a cuban Davidoff (which I believe someone else has already suggested). If I was stocking up, and look for Opus, since you can spend 100 on that in a matter of seconds.
I thought cigar.com was CigarsInternational's outlet for the more expensive / rare smokes. Either way they are in PA as well.
I remember buying a couple of sticks at a B&M in So Cal last year and my jaw dropped when they rang it up.
So this lady came in and asked for a box of your most expensive cigars for her son. :smiley29: Dayum, bet you wish more customers were like that.

They smoke perfectly, and have not a hint of bitterness or harshness. Very smooth, but full of flavor, and they shift on you at least twice. That's the effect you get from lovingly cared for, 5+year aged tobacco. I buy them about once a month, that's all I can afford, but I would smoke them a lot more often if I could afford more.
