most expensive cigar?

[derivation]

Don't forget...California has an obscenely high tobacco tax rate.

Yup, check out: http://fujipub.com/cigartax.html

You'll also notice that PA has no cigar tax, which is probably why most online cigar retailers are based there (CI, Famous, Holts, etc). Ditto for florida.

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Also, your data is pretty outdated.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.

Nope, I'm finished ranting now.

wow...

I have a Beauty in my cooler right now, (Thanks to Guado), Maybe I'll fire it up this weekend, and let you all know my thoughts on this $30.00~$50.00 smoke.

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. Dayum, bet you wish more customers were like that.
