Juan Panesso of CigarsDirect.com recently sold an unnamed buyer an El Gran Habano #5 El Gigante cigar. What's the big deal? Well, an El Gran Habano #5 El Gigante cigar is 19 feet long, 3 feet wide, and weighs 1,600 pounds. So, the cigar is the big deal. Panesso is so good at selling cigars, he even got the buyer a $25,000 deal! So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

I saw this late last night; it's funny cause that site is the one that has "rare" cigars for 3x plus MSRP; what would you do with a large dried out cigar like that?? Paper weight?

10:1 odds its headed to the middle east... some emir, shiek, etc.. wants it "just because"...

he will probably have a 25'x25' walk in humidor built inside his crib and use the cigar as his centerpiece..

people used to amaze me....

after a couple of dozen trips to dubai, doha, and manama... seeing stupid sh*t that people will spend money on doesnt surprise me anymore...

(I went snow skiiing inside the Mall of the Emerites the last time I was there... "just because"..)...

It's actually a pretty decent deal, it works out to about $0.75 a robusto...not including shipping.

I wouldnt order from Juan if you paid me to after my prior dealings with him

 

[mdwest]

shipping 1600 lbs from the US to Dubai via FedX economy international only adds $11,880 to the total cost

Yeah, but that doesn't include the 20ft ziplock baggie or all the bubble wrap! I wonder how many humipacks they'll put in with it?

Pfft, cheap ass cigar, I bet it isn't even long filler tobacco

I know you said you wouldn't order from Juan but what about another? If you order from no Juan, then how do you get your cigars? /badjoke

This is crazy. What would you do with it. Take a long time to smoke but that's what it's for right?

 

[NickThePyro]

Well you guys found out about my surprise. I secretly bought this just so I could test out my new lighter. Somebody bring a chainsaw to cut the cap and we can all enjoy it. BYOB, lets get this party started!

 

[daniyal]

you seem to forget the $9000 box for shipping the cigar..

 

[whodeeni]

Maybe its Khaizad. Needed some Exclusive filler for his new line! "El Gigante!"
