Me personally. Yuck ! I would drop it in no time . Just a little to much going on . It would make a nice brooch.

I guess the Asian market can't get enough of this stuff...

$150000? My thoughts are that one can purchase quite a few cigars with that money (or other things)!

For relative context the Siglo XXI humidor (2,000 cigars, but only 21 humidors produced...) failed to sell for at auction for $224,899 but that was nine years ago:

Otherwise 50 boxes of Siglo VI, 50 boxes of Esplendidos, 50 boxes of Sir Winston, and 30 cabs of Lusitanias or Hoyo DC, with some money to spare

Hard no. Regardless of whether or not I can afford it. Just doesn't reflect my aesthetics.

Even in Aus prices JS ??

Anyone that would throw down that coin on this isn't worrying about covering his cigar budget....

[JZBdano]

I was expecting a Gurkha cutter built specifically for their million dollar cigar.  It's only a Xicar, I'll pass.

It looks like a piece of cheap tat, something bought off a market stall to amuse yourself just because it's so awful. Every single time you used it you'd have to explain to people that it's real gold and real jewels, no really it is, stop laughing, it is, it is!

I held back . I think it's bloody awful as well.

All relative. When you have $500mm, who cares about $150k? A $20mm home owner probably uses plates that cost $1000 a piece, drives a car worth $1mm, wears a richard mille carbon, walks around in bespoke brioni suits, smokes behikes daily, and can afford a $150k cutter. Would the average person in the US do that? Of course not. The average person in the US also doesn’t walk a fine line where the gov’t can come in and take everything from you at any given time for any reason. If you can lose everything at any given moment, you don’t care about spending. Spend it all; it’s all fleeting. Chinese citizens-even billionaires can disappear at a drop of the hat. Their future isn’t secure. Enjoy now. Worry later. When you don’t have money, it seems like it’s the most important thing a lot of the time. When you have it, you don’t care. You say “it’s just money.”

 

By the by, it looks like a rat's a$$ and i wouldn't allow that thing within 10 miles of me.

[BrightonCorgi]

If it was 110K there would be a lot more buyers.

[99call]

Just goes to prove you can't buy taste.   That thing is repulsive

[Chibearsv]

That thing would be perfect for me while I'm sitting in my lawn chair in my garage, wearing my Bears sweatshirt, eating pizza rolls and popcorn, and smoking cigars.  I picture fumbling around for it in my cigar box that's full of cutters and lighters that seem to make their own decision on how well they're going to work for me on a daily basis.

I like using gawd awfully looking items for comical effect. I will purchase one of these once someone inevitably makes a replica.

Didn't someone wise once say, "if salt loses its saltiness how can it be made salt again?" In much the same way, if the Pig loses his 'pigginess' how can he be the pig? Trust me, we need the pig! ? ?

[Tdm_86]

Well, definitely not for me. But there are lots of people in this world, with more money than they know what do do with, that will gobble that up. Asian market will embrace this, I bet they’ll sell more of these than you’d expect.

[Rabbi]

It isn't even a "V" cut. No.

[El Presidente]

Ugly as sin. 

.....purely a personal opinion

Those who know, know. When people say some of my things are fake, I'll just smile and nod.

It doesn't look very ergonomic for practical purposes, but really, I don't think it looks that bad. In fact I think it's more elegant than many other examples out there. 150k is really chump change for many billionaires out there, especially those "undeclared" ones.
