nick17 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 a bottle of rare Australian wine sold this week at the summerhill LCBO in Toronto its a beautiful bottle and the idea of sealing it in an ampule is also a unique and functional way of preserving the wine. I'm curious to know who purchased it here's a link to the Toronto star article http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/10/17/summerhill_lcbo_sells_most_expensive_bottle_of_wine_for_168000.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Now, what cigar to pair with it? A $40K one that has a lighting ceremony for? http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/document.php?id=young_millionaire_buys_40000_cigar.html Or, maybe this: http://www.refinedguy.com/2012/06/12/12-most-expensive-cigars-in-the-world/#13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 this list make has no sense lol. There is more expensive cigars! Did you see the one the list they thought would bring $200,000? 'A team of archeologists from Tampa University found digging around in Guatemala when they found a clay pot labeled “sicars,” which in Yucatec literally means “to smoke rolled tobacco leaves and is the origin of “cigar.” Now, usually the jars they find in excavating Mayan ruins don’t contain what their label says. In fact, they almost never do. But this time—for only the third time ever—it did. Inside the jar were stash of nearly perfectly preserved, 600-year-old Mayan cigars. And yes, experts believe they are smokable. Obviously they’re going to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. And while there’s no telling how much they’re go for, I’m going to take a guess and say it’ll be more than $200,000. After all, you can make more giant, 1,600 pound cigars. And you can make more cigars soaked in cognac, even if the cognac is a 150 years old and costs $5,000. But you can’t make more 600-year-old smokable cigars, and I’m going to bet some crazy billionaire is going to pay a bundle for these.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwhatever Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 1) The buyer is either Chinese or Russian...nah, probably just Chinese. 2) $160,000 of the $168,000 was tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
