anybody for the distinguished honor of...

trying one of the gurkha 'His Majesty's Reserve' Crystal Churchill?

i could only imagine what it would be like to smoke... hell could smoking a cigar that goes for 750+ msrp be worth it!?

a little backround on the cigar if you havent heard of it

Far from commonplace, "His Majesty’s Reserve" is one of the rarest super-premium in the world, due to the ingredients used and time consuming process to complete each cigar. The binder and filler tobaccos hail from the Cibao Valley of the Dominican Republic. This valley is well known for producing the Dominican’s finest, most sought after leaves. With each crop, every Dominican Cuban Piloto leaf cultivated is hand inspected, yielding the smallest of percentages for "His Majesty’s Reserve." To complete this blend, only the silkiest, highest-grade Connecticut shade wrappers are chosen. Prior to an aging period of 5 years, this choice leaf is fermented for 7 months to achieve optimum color and flavor.

Still, "His Majesty’s Reserve" is not complete. After the fermentation and aging processes have been completed, the tobaccos are slowly introduced to the luxurious subtleties of Louis XIII Cognac. This exquisite cognac is considered to be the best in the world, commanding a price of $1,300 per bottle. This gradual infusion requires a minimum of 1 year to complete.

When all is said and done, the Gurkha "His Majesty’s Reserve" offers an experience that few will ever have the chance to experience. But, those that do will savor every last buttery-smooth puff. A deliciously balanced bouquet of rich, creamy flavors mingle with a mouthwatering aroma to complete the super-premium of super-premiums.


edit: messed up on the title... lol

No way in hell would I spend $750 on an infused cigar. I don't care that it is infused with Louis XIII, its infused.

For $750, I'd expect a lot from the cigar...

Like it should be doing my dishes. Maybe cleaning out the closet too...

Infused or not, 750 bucks for ANY cigar is a waste of hard earned money

I'm thinkin two of those cigars would buy me that 55 inch HDTV I'm looking for at Costco
or a cruise in the Carribean where I could purchase two CC's and still have money leftover. My bucket list would not allow me to buy that kind of cigar but God knows that they are probably delicious.
