Cigars are a pleasure that many people enjoy, but is also a taste that plenty of others can’t stand. All cigars are different and offer interesting blends of tobacco and spices to create amazing flavors and aromas that vary from one another. Depending on company, quality and process determines the price of cigars, which can cost anywhere from a few dollars to over $1,000. Certain cigars are considered to be so good, that people would pay tons of money to get their hands on one of these most expensive cigars.

5. The Arturo Fuente Opus X-A – $80

The Arturo Fuente Opus X-A is a much longer cigar compared to other options out there at a length of 9 and 1/2 inches long. This is considered to be one of the more rare cigars out there and if lucky, customers might see a single one in the wild, but there are never full cases around which is why they cost $80.

4. The Fuente Don Arturo AnniverXario – $85

This Arturo Fuente is a tribute to the company creator himself and was originally created back in 2001. The cigar was aged for years after that and didn’t actually hit the available market until 2008 when they were released for $85 a cigar. An entire case will cost $7,500.

3. The Cohiba Behike – $450

The Cohiba Behike is a top cigar blend that lots of people seem to love. The cigar has gathered tons of attention over time and was initially sold at $450 per cigar; however, due to the popularity and big sale numbers, the creator has been re releasing the cigar for $50 as a unique blend.

2. The Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserve – $750

His Majesty’s Reserve is infused with some actual Louis XII Cognac. The cigar costs $750 and exactly 100 boxes are produced a year. The price will only get you a single cigar and anybody looking for a box of 20 will run customers $15,000

1. The Gurkha Black Dragon – $1,150

The Black Dragon is the most expensive cigar on the list that finds itself at a price point of over $1,000.
