Itâs the most unfortunate fact about cigars â they cost money. A lot of money. But like all else in life, if you buy cheap, you get cheap and all those other clichésâ¦
Some of us smoke regular cigars (like King Edward, if you were wondering) and are very content with them. Some of us can pay for more luxurious cigars (like one of my favorites, Montecristo No.2) and sometimes (even most of the time) enjoy rubbing it in to other smokers⦠So I thought Iâd present the 10 most luxurious cigars of all time. Some of these are the cigars neither the rich, nor the not-so-rich can probably afford, so everyoneâs happy (or, actually, sad).
Here are the 10 most expensive cigars in the world:
