Mayan Sicars

Meet Mayan Sicars, the most expensive of all Cigars in the World. Mayan Sicars was last sold at a mouth-watering price of $507,000 in an auction. The reason behind its huge cost can be attributed to only one thing; Age. The luxurious vintage Cigar is about 600 years old. Beat that!

A pot of the Mayan Sicars was discovered by the archeologists from the Tampa University. The pot was intact, and the cigars remain well preserved and unsmoked. While this historical finding is a heritage to behold, no one is bold enough yet to smoke such an ancient wrap.

Now you know which cigars commands the highest bucks in the market currently.  As a lover of luxury, next time you choose to relax with a nice cigar, you should check out one among the listed expensive cigars in this piece.  Have you tried any of these?

If those are 600 years old, then I confidently expect to make it to 1000.

The cigars in that picture are certainly not 600 years old. Cigars are, atleast, that old though. The Taino Indian's Shaman were smoking huge bundles of tobacco leaves when Columbus arrived. They used to inhale the smoke, hallucinate, then tell the tribe the future...... Something like that. They called them "Cohibas"

Lordy.....i really hope some Chinese or Russian gazzillionare,  wakes up with an ashtray full of these covered in lipstick smears,  and malboro lights

If you see it on the internet, it must be true. I will smoke one with a 1787 Lafite, once owned by Thomas Jefferson.

Now if we could analyze the tobacco strains and re-grow what they had back then...I wonder what we could come up with.

With the right boveda pack I think you could nail the 600 year aging horizon.

Fiction

[earthson]

While I can't comment on the veracity of this, I will say those look freaking identical to cigars I was buying off the natives near Palenque.

[MD Puffer]

I don’t buy it. Nor would I even if I could. 

[Jimmy_jack]

I say faction 

[Vortigan]

Do they come packed in a glass top box??

[Lomey]

Not buying it.

Look for thread pieces and a finger nail in one, or mold on the outside claimed as plume. Age test it like DNA. Banda bing baddaboom I believe is the scientific term for the results.
