Mystery of world's most costly cigar
Madrid: It's the world's most expensive cigar - $ 440 each and it only comes in boxes of 40 - but is it the best?
Nobody knows because no one has smoked one. The Cuban havanas from the Cohiba brand are so precious that no one has actually lit one yet.
Although the blend was tested by a group of tasters before the cigar went into hand-made production, according to the "torcedora" or cigar-roller from the El Laguito factory in Havana, Norma Fernandez.
The cigar was launched in Spain on Thursday by Altadis, the exclusive importer of Cuban cigars into Spain.
