Joeyjojo Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I saw this pop up on my YouTube feed and thought "500 dollars and all I got was a lousy Davidoff..." I know Davidoff are well known for being over priced, but this is just Gurkha levels of stupid surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliano88 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 That is a steep price surely, but I’ve heard that this is a good cigar. Tobacco came form a single Crop in 2002 and aged 10 years. Can’t justify the price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather buy 2 RASS boxes for that coin... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather buy 2 RASS boxes for that coin... If you'd watched more than a minute you'd see that they were also of the opinion that it is ridiculously priced and that there are much better things to spend $500 on. I only watched about 15 minutes but I thought they were actually quite entertaining and easy to watch, the chap on the left especially making some great points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enduin Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 For as ridiculous as this is, unfortunately there is a growing market of people who are desperate to find new things to throw away their money on... I would not be surprised to see a $1000 cigar in the very near future. Or $10000 for that matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 One of my local shops, F.K. Kirsten (mostly a notable pipe shop) sells these. Last time in, I bothered the owner about whether anyone buys them or if it's just there to ogle. He goes on to tell me that a client in Medina (across the water from Seattle, where Bill Gates' house is), buys a box about every two weeks. Holy shit. The steepest stick I have is a 2015 Behike bought on BR for ~$259.42 per stick...and I don't really like them. Can't imagine the position you'd need to be in to buy these Davidoff's on the regular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigmundChurchill Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 A $500 Davidoff better be a lot older than that, and made somewhere else. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdm_86 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 It’d better be superior to the Davidoff Royal Robustos, which I tossed on both occasions I had them. It’s just silly money for any single cigar to be over $30-40 in my opinion (maybe I’m just too poor 🤷🏻♂️). Behike, I can maybe understand because the ones I’ve had were extremely good and unique in smoking experience. I’ll gladly forego the $500 Davidoff and have a box of Party E2 with money to spare, please and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeskSmkr Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I’d sell a $500 cigar, I’d sell a $1,000,000 cigar - if buyers and sellers are happy. Yes, value for money, for many others, is elsewhere. Exclusivity has a price. I want to try this cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, value for money, for many others, is elsewhere. Exclusivity has a price. I want to try this cigar. Exclusivity doesn't work when everybody wants it and too many can afford it. Also, this is fake exclusivity, pretty much everyone here COULD afford to buy a $500 cigar since we routinely spend that (and more) on boxes of cigars. Hopefully most of us will choose not to. This is the equivalent of taking a fast food restaurant, change the sign, raise the prices to $500 a meal and call it exclusive. On the other hand, a legitimately special cigar, say made from a single farm tobacco, rolled just by one famous master roller, sold in a fancy humidor with precious metals and stones for $20000 that would be real exclusivity.
