The Golden Cigar - seriously, a 24k gold wrapped cigar

[omowasu]

http://thegoldencigar.com/

Daniel Marshall claims to have created "The Most Exclusive Cigar in the World". Prices seem to range around $200.00 to $250.00 EACH!

They actually sand the cigars with sandpaper "...to make the surface smooth as possible of the tobacco wrapper" and apply 24kt gold leaf using bakers sugar glaze.

And they are actually supposed to be smoked - how that will happen with an oxygen-starving gold wrapper is a good question, but apparently Robb Report had one...

Click on "story" and "how we create..."

A number of years ago, there was a cigar called, IIRC, the Golden Zeus which also was a gold plated cigar. I don't recall any pricing though.

[RobR1205]

Interesting...but for that price, heck no!

[jjirons69]

Pass...

[PearlS4]

My noob senses tell me this is probably no good. My opinion only.

[themoneycollector]

I'm a skeptic when I read rated reviews since most tend to go higher with price and limited-editioness. Could be a dried turd in there, but these would be a shoehorn for at least a 95 based on the goldleaf wrapper alone. :r


If they buy a double-page ad in CA, they will get a 95 in there too.

There's also a joke to be made about 'pelo de oro' in here.

[hotreds]

I'll take a dozen..... eh, maybe not.

[iaMkcK]

Maybe get a fake one for $7 just for the conversation piece. ;-)

I like to smoke cigars that the filler, binder, and wrapper made from fermented and aged 100 bills. I cut them with a scissors that's blades are diamonds cut from Tavernier Blue, and light them with cedar spills shaved from reclaimed sunken old growth cedar trees. I wouldn't let that crappy gold leaf touch my beautiful pallet.

[cjhalbrooks]

If anyone really wants one i am selling as many as you guys want. Just tell me how many and i will go to my hook up and wally. Hook Up is where i get the cigars and wally is where i get the spraypaint

I want one, Derrick. :dr

may possibly be worth it in gold weight

Just give me Cohiba GR's instead please.

I'd smoke one just for the pain and humiliation I'd get on here... I'm a masochist.

[lenguamor]

Crazy. Can't imagine what the angle would be for a manufacturer except to make a splash.

I wouldn't smoke one on a bet, though. Vaporizing and inhaling heavy metals is never a good idea.

[Commander Quan]

It's just gold leaf, the same stuff in the bottom of Goldschlager.

Drinking it, it just passes through your digestive system. There are no nutrients, so your body doesn't absorb anything.

Vaporizing a heavy metal and forcing it into your lungs...I just can't see how that's a good idea at all.

But hey, I make that judgment for myself only. If anyone tries the thing and reviews it, I'll be interested to read it.

I will hold out for Platinum.

Gotta find em first... ;)

And quit moving the goal posts... we're talking about insanely high-priced cigars here! :D

I wouldn't be too concerned, the vaporization temperature of gold is around 2600 degrees C and the temperature of a cigar is no where near that. The gold will just end up in the ash.

Got to admit, that's the very first thing I thought of.....

Edited to add - Looks like Nathan thought of that. Even still......

GO WARRIORS!!!!!!



Seriously though....theres cubans that cost the same or more. I wouldn't buy either, but if you're just looking for a status symbol in the top of your glass top, I guess it makes sense. Not everyone knows what a $200 cuban is when its in your humidor but everyone knows what gold is.

Personally, I smoke only the finest, most expensive cigars man can find, wrapped in a layer of Californium 252($27 million per gram). Wrapping a fine cigar in gold is just archaic and trashy.





:noon ;s


On a more serious note, I remember reading an article on this in halfwheel awhile back, and the maker stated the temperature of a burning cigar was below that of gold's melting point, so there should be no health risk, and that when you finish, you should end up with a tube of gold filled with ash.

Oh, wow, you just convinced me.

I'm surprised no one has thought of this before. The guys at Ghurka must be kicking themselves.

When you have nothing to offer from a taste standpoint,yell loudly about packaging or sourcing,ageing or who happened to walk by when your cigars were being rolled.
