What are the most expensive cigars in the world?
Cigars have risen in price rapidly over the past two decades.
They’re associated with luxury and wealth more than ever before, and cigar aficionados are constantly looking for rare and exclusive cigars to add to their collections.
This begs the question: how expensive can cigars be, and how difficult could it be to get your hands on the rarest of the rare?
Today we’re bringing you our updated list of the most expensive cigars in the world.
How did we select this list of cigars?
One of the issues with many expensive cigar lists on the internet, including the original version of our own, is how the cigar values are calculated.
For instance, there was once an auction for a very rare box of cigars that sold for more than half a million dollars, but the box consisted of almost 800 cigars. More details on that are below.
We’ve decided to thoroughly calculate the price/stick for each of the entries on this list, so you can have a clearer understanding of exactly which cigars are the most expensive in the world.
Whilst it may be difficult to obtain some of these cigars individually, assuming you’d want to obtain them of course, we think this is the best way of ranking the list.
Another thing we decided to take into account is limited edition releases which are packaged in custom humidors instead of regular boxes.
These humidors can often cost thousands of dollars alone, and end up distorting the price of the cigar.
Can people still buy these cigars?
Most of the cigars featured on this list can still be bought and smoked to this day.
Many of them are limited edition lines and are likely harder to find than most cigars.
What exactly makes some cigars more expensive than others?
Typically, there are a few things that can factor into cigar price:
- Limited edition productions
- Aged tobacco
- Brand recognition
Limited edition productions can often limit the total number of cigars produced, and as time passes the number of those remaining drops.
A lot of rare cigar releases also use aged tobacco leaves, and you’ll see several brands on this list that age their tobacco for at least 10 years before the cigar is rolled.
Brand recognition also plays a part as particular brands such as Cohiba are always sought after.
Finally, if none of the above results in a cigar being expensive, there are a select few who will cover cigars in gold leaf, and diamonds, and infuse them with expensive cognac.
But more on that later.
