potpest Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Anyone ever had a London Cut "Black Tie Cigar" before? It Ashes 24K gold, which is, according to the blurb, "An unsurpassed statement to all of those around you" Which it may well be........that your a pretentious tosser! 3
Popular Post polarbear Posted June 15, 2014 Popular Post Posted June 15, 2014 Daniel Marshall did something similar a while back. A friend of mine got one from his father in law for Christmas. Apparently it tastes like crap and makes you feel like a complete ******. 7
Balboa Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 What the hell ? I remember when people smoked fake Cohibas to show off.
AndrewNR Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Heh, Hows that for a slogan "Tasteless in all respects" 2
Smallclub Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 … and smoke from the combustion of a heavy metal is so good for one's health! 1
earthson Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Thought it was a joke so I had to look it up. It comes in a glass top box .... is wrapped in a Connecticut Shade wrapper ... and is a Dominican My, oh, my isn't this an impressive cigar! 1
finecigar Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I've seen the gold DM ones. Quite an expensive novelty. Not sure why you would spend $250 on this when you could get a decent box of CCs for the $$$
Susanne Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 From the get go, Conneticut wrapper, and Dominican Tobacco... Mmmmm... why would I not be impressed? Add to that about $30 or so of Gold Leaf, and you have the potential of a metallicy tasting batch of , not to mention whatever they're using to adhere the leaf to that "fine connect-a-*** rapper" - it'd have to be something somewhat substantial, at least some kind of water/rosin base if not a shellac or rabbit skin bole (yes, I do gold leaf work)... Bleah. Absolute rubbish. Fail to see any redeeming factor about this whatsoever... and that doesn't begin to describe what someone smoking this -thing- (I don't want to sully the word "cigar" by putting it in with the same catagory) would strike me as. But I bet you can guess...
mncz Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 As far as I see, this is another way for some gold holders to mark up their commodity. It's not a new concept - they make rolling papers in 24k gold, as well. What's sad is not that they're making such products (for nothing exceeds expectation when it comes to making money) but that people are indeed willing to buy these items.
dangolf18 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Back in the day, you could buy an ounce of gold for $240. This is obviously designed for those without any knowledge of cigars whatsoever.
earthson Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Wait! How about a 60 RG Behike available - wrapped in 24 k gold - sold in glass-topped boxes.... to tourists in Cancun! (I'll call Habanos SA to see how they want to handle distribution)
sengjc Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I am amazed that it would burn properly. The gold foil/paper layer would restrict oxygen for combustion and I don't think the temperature from a typical lit cigar tip would be high enough to melt gold. Interesting, tempted to get one simply to satisfy this curiosity - then again, maybe not.
Habana Mike Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I think I'll fire up a Boli GM without removing the wrapper, just as good for a 20th of the price!
sengjc Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Got my answer, sort of: It ashes gold too. Well, that's $240 saved then.
sw15825 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Definitely CA's Number one cigar next year since a cuban got it last. LOL !!
Fuzz AI Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 With gold reserves dwindling, this is such a waste... not to mention a waste of tobacco that could have gone into a fine pack of Marlborough Golds... 2
Maplepie Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 not to mention a waste of tobacco that could have gone into a fine pack of Marlborough Golds... OH MY LORD. it looks like fibreglass!!!
StingMeadery Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 You can wrap a Dominican dog **** in Gold...but... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
