Whats the deal with these Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserve cigars?? $750 for a single cigar? 15k for a box of 20? Could a cigar really be worth that much? Curious has anyone ever smoked one?
I think those are made especially for the oil men in the Middle East, just like those gold cigars.
IMO, no cigar is worth that much, especially for a NC, unless it has some kind of historical significance (i.e. the one used by Bill Clinton on Monica).

I don't think I could ever bring myself to pay that much myself, unless I'd just won the lottery...
Even if i won the lottery and more money than i know what do with, I still won't smoke it. A fool and his gold are soon parted, right? What better way to prove that phrase true than by smoking one of these?

It's infused with alcohol, it won't be popular even in the Middle East.

I smoked one, I didn't care for it. Was like smoking Louis XIII cognac. Didn't taste much like tobacco at all, very, very mild. Made my lips numb. I didn't buy it, it was a gift. $750 each is retail. Infused with a whole ounce of Louis XIII cognac. Worth it? Not to me.

One box of the His Majesty is infused with one bottle of Remy's Louis the XIII Cognac. The bottle of Louis alone goes for $1,000+ if you find it for $1,400 its a deal. So to start out the infusion is expensive then every tubo is made out of crystal. It's an expensive cigar and from who I know that has tried it, they all say it wasn't worth the money. If you want a taste of what it would be like try the Grand Reserve its also infused with Louis, but but for a lower price.
