I just read this on Halfwheel and I keep asking myself if I had the funds would I. Honestly as nice as they may be I don't think I would. Doesn't seem like it's really worth the cost. Just my $.02.

So... let me get this straight... 'Cuban' cigars in cello?!? Obvious fakes!! :p :p :p :p
You gotta have a lot of funds for $200k to be expendable!!! I mean, I'm lucky that the Opus 20th came out around my birthday or my wife might kill me for cigars at $25 a stick. Even as a combo birthday/Christmas gift I got a sideways look. That $4,000 a stick! $4,000! I don't know that I could light $4,000 on fire. Let's say you smoked that bad boy for 3 hours, that's $1,333 an hour. If you take that rate and pretended you were getting paid that hourly at work, that's $2,666,000 a year! So, I guess my answer would be no. NO NO NO!!
I wonder how much shipping is! I'm guessing, not free.
Ummm NoooWaaaayyy

There is "Know Whey"!
Hell no....Wouldn't pay 50k if I could afford it.....
This is swag for the 1%. Even if I was mega powerball wealthy and lit my cigars with Ben Franklins I still couldnt see the value. I mean you could buy a brand new Lamborghini Huracan for $200K!
This post inspired me to pick up this Cohiba humidor up just in time for Christmas. Luckily my NBC American Express Gold can handle that amount of charge. After reading the article I knew the only thing missing in my life was a humidor lined with cigar leaves covered in 24 carat gold. Now my life is complete! Plus a 7x60 cigar? The icing on the cake. Normally I only smoke a Gurkha in that size but now I'll add Cohiba to the rotation as well.
If I had that kind of money to throw around, I can think of a thousand better things to throw it at :)
That having been said, there's something exquisite about the fact that (a) we live in a society where such wretched excess is actually conceivable, and (b) some dumbass will actually buy it.
