That’s obscene. Hopefully at least some of that money makes it back to the Cuban people.

The chances of that are between 0 and 0.1%

I supposed that’s natural considering there’s a decent chance it was also purchased with the fruit of state corruption.

It’s an obscene display of wealth in the midst of such poverty.

These are the Chinese locusts consuming the forced labor of the failed Cuban government. It’s the Chinese that buy this crap.

A lot of the super high end stuff goes to the middle east as well.

For kicks I estimated the value of the cigars in the Cohiba humi and I see a maximum of about $150,000.

Seems every post you mention Chinese and locusts in the same sentence. Ease up bloke. People with the cash pay the price. Good for them. Those of us that don’t have can sit back and watch. Such is life. Roll with it or get yourself up there with those big boys.

I hear you. I do believe that every single buyer was Asian though so it’s a clear and telling pattern. I have no love lost for the Chinese and their questionable business practices.
