Gurkha Royal Courtesan ($1,000,000): Source Luxury Launches

When one thinks of luxury items that only the elite of the elite are able to purchase most times thoughts go to cars like the Bugatti (which ranges between $1,500,000 and $5,800,000) or watches like the Paul Newman Rolex Daytona (which costs $18,000,000). But did you know there is a cigar out there you can purchase for $1,000,000?

With a seven-figure price this product of Gurkha cigars sets the standard for extravagent smokes. The tobacco that is used in this cigar is infused with Remy Martin’s Black Pearl Louis XIII cognac (which costs $165,000 per bottle). From there, master rollers are employed to roll the cigars, though they wear a blindfold so as to not have any distractions from creating a perfect smoke. The rolls themselves use ultra-rare stuffing that can only be found in the Himalayas of Nepal. As if that was not enough, the filler itself has been watered only by crystal clear Fiji water. The final product is wrapped in gold leaf wrapper and studded with 5 carats of cigars. If you are so lucky to be gifted this cigar (assuming you don’t have $1,000,000 lying around to be spent on one) then it will be personally delivered to you by a messenger wearing white gloves.

While an amazing product, and I imagine the taste is equally great, I am not so sure that I would purchase one even if I was worth tens of millions of dollars…
