- Copy Link URL Copied!
Marina del Rey’s harbor produced an unexpected light show Wednesday evening as a luxury yacht loaded with ammunition and fireworks burned for more than two hours before flames were extinguished, authorities said.
Flames leaped 20 to 30 feet from the 100-foot vessel, dubbed the Admiral, while live ammunition rounds could be heard firing from the boat, according to videos from the scene .
Thursday morning, the charred yacht was lying on its side, and the water around it was tinted red from the diesel fuel dumped from the vessel. A Coast Guard spokesperson said an estimated 4,000 gallons of diesel was dumped into the water. The total is not official as monitoring continues.
Los Angeles County Fire Department officials said two passengers aboard the boat exited safely. No information was available about the cause of the blaze.
An L.A. County Fire spokesperson said one individual suffered minor injuries, was treated at the scene and was released.

The boat, traveling at a high speed, crashed into the jetty near its slip, killing a man. It would have been much worse, if not for the quick thinking of a passenger.

1,000 rounds of ammunition and fireworks were onboard yacht that burned in Marina del Rey: Owner
MARINA DEL REY, Calif. (KABC) -- The owner of a luxury yacht that erupted in flames and sank in Marina del Rey said 1,000 rounds of "unspent ammunition and fireworks" were onboard the vessel, according to fire officials.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department provided an update on the incident in a social media post Thursday morning.
The fire was reported shortly after 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at 211 Basin A, where flames engulfed the multi-level, 100-foot boat, the agency said.
Residents in the area said they heard multiple explosions resonating throughout the harbor as yacht was consumed by flames. Fire officials said two people were able to get off the boat uninjured.
Fire crews poured water onto the burning vessel, which later sank into the harbor.
An environmental hazard team was expected to arrive in Marina del Rey Thursday to assist with the cleanup of the burned vessel.
A United States Coast Guard Incident Management Team from Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach is monitoring the cleanup efforts, according to the Coast Guard, which said that the yacht "caught fire and discharged red-dye diesel."
"The fire did not appear to damage any other vessels in the harbor," the USCG said in a statement Thursday. "The Coast Guard is working with Patriot Environmental Services and Clean Harbors organizations to contain and recover the discharge from the yacht."
The yacht's fuel capacity was reported to be 6,000 gallons, according to the Coast Guard. Crews from California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Office of Spill Prevention and Response and the L.A. County Sheriff's Department are also assisting in the efforts.
The Oiled Wildlife Care Network was also notified and was on standby for wildlife response. "No observations of oiled wildlife have been reported at this time," the Coast Guard said Thursday morning. "For your safety and the safety of the animals, do not attempt to capture oiled animals." Witnesses were urged to report oiled wildlife to (877) 823-6926.

Inside the superyacht for history buffs with nearly $1 billion to burn.
It’s for the ultimate seafaring sports fan — and history buff.
A lavish superyacht designed to resemble a centuries-old galleon — and featuring full-sized basketball, tennis and handball courts — is being pitched by a California ship designer.
Steve Kozloff’s The Galleon involves eight decks boasting hoards of extravagant goodies that can be custom-arranged for buyers — who are wealthy enough to foot its roughly $750 million price tag.
The striking nearly 525-foot luxury ship, complete with four massive sails, could hold up to 200 guests and 150 crewmembers, Kozloff said.
“I liked the style of the Old World galleons, especially the glass work at the stern,’’ the ship designer told The Post on Tuesday. “I wanted to imitate that feature.
“Plus, I want to encourage the cruise industry to be more green,’’ he said of the yacht, which would have a hybrid diesel-electric engine in addition to its sails.
The ship’s planned features include the sports facilities, plus a pair of swimming pools and two “lazy rivers.”
It also includes a helipad and 4,500-square-foot hanger for high-flying guests, not to mention room for six speedboats, four submarines and other smaller watercraft.
Additional onboard entertainment could be found at the ship’s cafe, bar and restaurant.
Kozloff said the price depends on how far buyers want to plunk down on the yacht’s interior furnishings, adding that it would take about $750 million for it to be “properly outfitted.” He said the masts alone cost around $140 million.
The Galleon is considered an “explorer’’ yacht, meaning it could cruise the world at more than 20 mph with a steel hull able to cut through ice floes.
Its length is 70 feet less than the world’s longest yacht, the Azzam, which is reportedly owned by royals from the United Arab Emirates.

A former captain of the Bayesian has described the terrifying obstacles facing those trapped in the cabins as the Bayesian superyacht overturned killing seven.
Stephen Edwards, who captained the Bayesian for five years until 2020, told The Telegraph : “Those who stayed curled up in bed were in the worst situation.
“The storm hit hard, placing them in the melee of flying furniture, glass and other items,” he said adding he had spoken to traumatised crew members.
“Inside the cabins, the only way to think of this is that people were lying in their beds one minute, and the next the room was on its side, totally dark, with the door now either in the floor or in the ceiling above.”
It came as divers race to retrieve Mike Lynch’s personal hard drives locked in a safe on the ocean floor, according to reports.
Italian newspaper la Repubblica reported that the tech billionaire, whose clients included MI5, the NSA and the Israeli secret service, didn’t trust confidential documents on the cloud and kept two encrypted hard drives in a safe which now lies 49 metres below sea level.
Former captain says surviving crewmembers all have PTSD from sinking
The former captain of the Bayesian superyacht says he has spoken to all of the surviving crew to hear their account of the sinking.
Stephen Edwards said all the crew members who were on deck rescued as many passengers as they could but that heading down towards the flooded lower parts of the yacht “would have meant certain death”.
The former captain told The Telegraph: “They are not doing very well”
“The dominant feeling is still one of shock from the event. They are dealing with what happened, how it happened and how quickly it happened.”
Bayesian yacht sinking: Banking boss among four victims who ‘suffocated in cabin air bubble’
Four of the victims of last month’s Bayesian yacht disaster died after oxygen ran out in an air bubble on the sunken vessel, it has been reported.
Autopsies over the past few days on four of those who died have revealed an absence of water in their lungs, suggesting they suffocated as the air became saturated with carbon dioxide, Italian publication La Repubblica said.
The outlet reported post-mortems showed four people died from “atypical drowning”, with “no water in their lungs, trachea and stomach”. There were no signs of external injuries.
HP looking to recoup £4billion from Mike Lynch’s estate despite Bayesian tragedy
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is making the “difficult decision” to pursue Mike Lynch’s estate for £4billion in the interests of shareholders despite the tech billionaire being killed along with his daughter on the Bayesian superyacht.
Antonio Neri, the former engineer turned chief executive at HPE, told the Financial Times : “Obviously my job as a representative of shareholders is to make the difficult decisions.
“These are difficult decisions. But in the end, we are making decisions in the best interest of shareholders.”
Mike Lynch had been celebrating his acquittal from criminal charges on the superyacht when it overturned in a freak storm.
But HPE intends to pursue damages around an earlier UK civil trial in 2022 which found in favor of HPE’s claim that Lynch and ex-CFO Sushovan Hussain had inflated the apparent value of Autonomy during the acquisition.
Bayesian captain said to be ‘living darkest days of his life'
Three crew members including the yacht’s captain are under investigation, with plans being discussed to raise the yacht from the ocean bed to assist enquiries.
Sources close to New Zealander James Cutfield, 51, the captain , told the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera that he is living through the darkest days of his life.
Among those killed were Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, who had been due to begin studying at Oxford University in September, the yacht’s chef and four other family friends and associates.
Seven key unanswered questions around the sinking of the Bayesian
With the Bayesian lying on her side 50 metres underneath the now gentle waters of the Mediterranean, mystery still surrounds how the 56-metre superyacht, sank in the typhoon off the port of Porticello.
Remotely controlled underwater vehicles and cave divers are looking to raise the yacht .
Will answers to the sinking will rise to the surface with it?
The key unanswered questions around the tragic sinking of the Bayesian
With the search continuing of the sunken Bayesian an investigation has been launched to establish what caused the disaster off the coast of Sicily
Mike Lynch’s co-defendant died from head injury after being hit by car days before yacht sinking
Mike Lynch ’s co-defendant Stephen Chamberlain died in hospital three days after being hit by a car on a country road, an inquest heard.
The 52-year-old, from Longstanton in south Cambridgeshire, was struck by a blue Vauxhall Corsa travelling between Stretham and Wicken on the A1123 at about 10.10am on 17 August.
Mr Chamberlain, a former vice president of finance at Mike Lynch’s software firm Autonomy, had been out running at the time, his lawyer Gary Lincenberg said.
Coroner Caroline Jones told the inquest in Alconbury that his medical cause of death was recorded as “traumatic head injury”.
Mike Lynch ‘likely died of suffocation’ after running out of oxygen on sunken yacht
British tech tycoon Mike Lynch is likely to have died of suffocation after running out of oxygen, according to a source close to the investigation.
They cited initial examinations carried out on Saturday after the businessman’s body was recovered from the family yacht that sank off Sicily ’s coast last month during a freak weather incident.
Mr Lynch died alongside his 18-year-old daughter, the boat’s chef and four others , who were onboard the British-flagged superyacht Bayesian to celebrate his recent acquittal after a lengthy decade-long legal battle.
Initial results of examinations of Hannah Lynch’s body on Saturday were inconclusive, the source told the Reuters news agency.
Mike Lynch’s yacht was ‘unsinkable’, says boss of company who built boat
Giovanni Costantino, the chief executive of the Italian Sea Group, said there are no flaws with the design and construction of the Bayesian and it is “one of the safest boats in the world”.
The Bayesian, a 184-ft superyacht carrying 22 passengers and crew, was anchored off the port of Porticello, near Palermo, when it disappeared beneath the waves in a matter of minutes after a freak tornado struck.
“The ship sank because it took on water, from where investigators will have to say,” Mr Costantino told television news programme TG1.
He suggested that the sinking was down to a series of human errors.
The CEO said that had the crew shut all doors and hatches, turned on the engine, lifted the anchor, lowered the keel and turned the yacht to face the wind, they would have suffered “zero damage”.
He added that data showed it took 16 minutes from when the wind began for it to sink.
Cartoisio said the tragedy will be even more painful if the sinking was caused by “behaviours that were not aligned to the responsibilities that everyone needs to take in shipping”.
£4billion deal to purchase Mike Lynch’s Darktrace
Darktrace shares are set to stop trading publicly at the end of September, after the company set a timetable for its blockbuster private equity takeover to be completed.
The private equity group Thoma Bravo struck an almost 5.31 billion dollar (£4.3 billion) deal to buy Darktrace in April.
It marks one of the biggest take-private deals for a London-listed company in recent years, and will see Darktrace leave the FTSE 100 on October 1.
Founded in 2013, Cambridge-based Darktrace is a cybersecurity firm best known for using artificial intelligence to scan for hacks and data leaks inside IT networks.
A prominent company in the UK tech landscape, it was among the firms represented at the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in November, where world leaders and major tech firms met to discuss the potential threat of artificial intelligence.
The update comes after Poppy Gustafsson stepped down as chief executive earlier in September amid the takeover.
Ms Gustafsson, who co-founded the business in 2013, will be replaced as chief executive by Jill Popelka, the company said.
Ms Gustafsson helped to set up the Cambridge-based company in 2013 alongside Autonomy founder Mike Lynch.
Mr Lynch, and his daughter Hannah, were among seven people to die after the Bayesian superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily last month.
Professor fears more deaths by ‘medicanes’ after Bayesian tragedy
Professor Yoav Yair, Dean of the School of Sustainability at Reichman University in Israel, told the Mirror that storms dubbed ‘medicanes’ - Mediterranean hurricanes - could cause similar sinkings like the Bayesian superyacht.
He said: “It is not a matter of if this (the Bayesian disaster) will happen again, but rather it’s when and where.
“In the last couple of years we have seen medicanes - which are a new phenomena. These are hurricane-like storms that pack a lot of energy, and create flash flooding, torrential rains, lightning, hail and severe sustained winds. The 2023 “Daniel” medicane destroyed Libya and caused over 30,000 deaths there.
“The sea surface temperature has risen globally and in the Med as well, charging the atmosphere with increased fluxes of water vapor, which means a higher potential for massive storms.”

The 20 Most Expensive Tequilas in the World
What are the most expensive tequilas in the world?
Tequila is one of the most popular liquors in the world and, in the United States alone, nearly 20 million 9-liter cases are consumed every year!
Whether you’re drinking it neat or mixing it into a margarita, you probably have a favorite brand that you know tastes great.
However, some brands can get incredibly expensive, and it is these tequilas that we are counting down today.
How did we select this list of tequilas?
We’ve put over 10 hours of research into re-writing and updating this list for 2024.
The tequilas on this list were selected by taking the current average sale price, at the time of writing.
Prices for rare tequila can vary depending on where they’re listed for sale; so for each tequila on this list, we checked the price across multiple websites and settled on the average.
Next comes the question, when does tequila stop being tequila, and start being artwork?
If you’re a fan of tequila you can probably think of at least one brand that treats their bottles as artwork.
These bottles can often be worth thousands, but is it all just similar tequila in a fancy and unique bottle?
We’ve decided we’re not going to be the judge of what’s tequila and what’s artwork, so what you see on this list reflects a true order, based on price per bottle.
The 2 Most Expensive Tequilas in the World
Tequila is a very versatile liquor and there is no shortage of varieties you can find at your local store.
That said, some of these tequilas are reserved for only the most wealthy buyers, and you certainly won’t want to drink them on a casual night out.
Without further ado, here’s our list of the 20 most expensive tequilas money can buy:
20. 1800 Coleccion Tequila
Price/Bottle: $2,000
This unique expensive tequila gets its name from the year that distillers started using oak barrels for aging, and it is owned by the insanely wealthy Beckmann family.
Distilled twice during its 10-year aging process, this tequila has a flavor reminiscent of Amaretto, but with a bolder kick that reminds you that it’s tequila.
For $2,000, this tequila comes in its own crystal decanter trimmed with pewter and securely placed in a lavish case lined with suede to protect its precious contents.
It doesn’t get much more high-end than that!
19. Barrique de Ponciano Porfidio
Price/Bottle: $2,200
Made from 100% agave, Barrique de Ponciano Porfidio is a luxury tequila that has been aged for 10 years in French oak barrels and it is limited to special batches of only 2,000 bottles per year.
While its purity does impact this tequila’s price, the bottle that it comes in also makes it more expensive.
Each bottle comes with lettering and images engraved with one of the most expensive precious metals in the world, 21-karat gold.
It definitely looks and tastes every bit worth its hefty price tag.
18. Clase Azul Extra Añejo Ultra
Price/Bottle: $2,500
The first Clase Azul product to appear on this list is the only one in regular production and not a limited edition.
Clase Azul’s extra anejo ultra is aged for 5 years in American whiskey and sherry casks.
The bottle is decorated in platinum, silver, and 24-karat gold.
You can expect to pay around $2,500 a bottle for this tequila.
17. AsomBroso Reserva del Porto Extra Anejo
Price/Bottle: $2800
This brandy-like tequila is the type of drink that you break out during life’s greatest milestones.
Aged for 10 years in port wine barrels from Portugal, it is mixed with a small portion of white oak-aged tequila before being bottled.
Stored in a bottle shaped like a historical decanter found in an eighteenth-century Portuguese castle, it even comes secured in its own cedar humidor.
Although this tequila usually costs $2,800, you can sometimes get lucky and find it on sale for $1,499, which is honestly a great price, all things considered.
16. AsomBroso The Collaboration 12 Year Extra Anejo
Price/Bottle: $3,000
AsomBroso’s The Collaboration is an extra anejo tequila, aged 12 years in Silver Oak Cellar’s American casks.
The tequila is bottled inside a crystal decanter hand-made by Luciano Gambaro, a famous Italian artist.
The decanter is then packaged in a custom-polished humidor with laser engraving.
A single bottle might set you back $3,000, but there are places where you might be able to get your hands on one for cheaper.
15. Tesla Tequila Limited Edition Anejo
Price/Bottle: $4,000
It does seem that Elon Musk can do no wrong.
Tesla Tequila started as an April Fool’s joke but quickly became a physical product that sold out immediately.
For the limited edition variant, only 420 bottles were produced, a number that jokingly references a time when Musk said he was going to take Tesla private at $420 a share.
The numbered limited edition variant with matching shot glass is currently selling for around $4,000, whilst the regular variant can fetch up to $1,500.
14. Codigo 1530 14 Year Extra Anejo
Price/Bottle: $4,500
Codigo’s 1530 extra Añejo has been aged inside French White Oak Napa Valley Cabernet wine barrels for 14 years and then finished in French Cognac casks.
This is Codigo’s most expensive tequila they’ve ever produced.
A single bottle is now worth $4,500.
13. Clase Azul Pink Limited Edition Reposado
Price/Bottle: $6,000
This isn’t the first Clase Azul tequila featured on this list, and it definitely won’t be the last.
The ‘Pink’ limited edition reposado was originally released in 2016 for breast cancer awareness, with a percentage of the proceeds being donated to charity.
Just 3000 bottles of the original 2016 version were produced, featuring a white bottle hand-painted with pink artwork.
There have since been one or two other ‘Pink’ breast cancer awareness releases from Clase Azul.
12. Patron Limited Edition En Lalique Serie 3
Price/Bottle: $7,500
Patron’s En Lalique Serie line the creme de la creme of their tequila.
Whatever we have here is the Serie 3, their latest release, but it’s the least expensive of the three.
The Serie 3 contains a blend of 14 different extra anejo tequilas, aged in 6 different barrel types.
Held in a crystal hand-carved decanter, with decoration inspired by the Weber Blue Agave.
The decanter is stored inside a luxurious wooden box.
Each decanter is numbered, and given the fact that this is Patron’s latest release, you can expect the Serie 3’s price to rise over the next few years.
11. Patron Limited Edition En Lalique Serie 1 Extra Anejo
Price/Bottle: $8000
Patron’s En Lalique Serie 1 uses some of their oldest tequila, presented in a hand-made decanter inspired by Mexico’s Weber Blue Agave plant, topped off with an amber stopper.
Although this bottle cost $8,000, it’s not their most expensive tequila.
Patron went one step further for their next tequila, but more on that shortly.
10. Dos Armadillos Extra Anejo Sterling Silver
Price/Bottle: $10,000
The Dos Armadillos Extra Anejo uses only an 8-year mature Blue Weber Agave.
The tequila is bottled in their signature armadillo-armored bottle, however, the armor for this edition is made entirely out of sterling silver.
$10,000 is the current price to pick up one of these bottles, a number that’s far more expensive than any other product in their range.
9. Clase Azul Puebla Limited Edition
The Clase Azul Puebla limited edition tequila was released on the 5th of May 2021, to commemorate Cinco de Mayo, or the Battle of Puebla.
Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration held on the 5th of May to celebrate Mexico’s victory over the Second French Empire in 1862.
Just 300 bottles were produced and sold with a price tag of $400.
If you wished to purchase a bottle of Puebla Limited Edition today, the price would be more along the lines of $10,000.
8. Clase Azul Dia de Muertos Limited Edition
The Dia de Los Muertos collection from Clase Azul features several individual releases, but with most of them fetching similar prices, we’ve decided to include them in one single entry.
Dia de Muertos, or ‘The Day of the Dead’ as it’s otherwise known, is a traditional Mexican holiday celebrated during November.
Clase Azul has released a new edition within the Dia de Muertos line annually for the past several years.
Some of the bottle designs for the Dia de Muertos range are spectacular and tend to rise in value once they are no longer produced.
7. Patron Limited Edition En Lalique Serie 2 Extra Anejo
Price/Bottle: $10,500
Patron’s En Lalique Serie 2 is aged and made slowly in small batches to ensure perfect quality.
The bottle is carved crystal, featuring a crystal bee stopper with hand-painted gold accents.
It’s then placed inside a wooden box that spins to open, creating a rather luxurious effect.
We’ve seen prices ranging from $8,000 to $12,000 for this bottle, so if you’re patient you might be able to get it at a good price.
6. Clase Azul Master Artisans
Price/Bottle: $20,000
Clase Azul’s most popular and iconic tequila is their resposado tequila, housed in a blue and white bottle.
In 2021, the brand collaborated with the award-winning artist, Ángel Santos to create a hand-crafted, limited edition resposado.
The ‘Master Artisans’ line aims to highlight the work of Mexico’s most talented artists.
The Ángel Santos edition, which at launch sold for $5,000 a bottle , can now reach up to $20,000.
5. Clase Azul Jalisco 200 Limited Edition
Price/Bottle: $25,000
The Clase Azul Jalisco is an extra anejo tequila, named after Jalisco, a state in Mexico.
As the name might also suggest, only 200 bottles of this limited-edition tequila were distilled.
The tequila comes packaged inside a custom-built wooden box, which opens to reveal a drinking glass on either side.
With just 200 bottles released, getting your hands on one of these bottles isn’t cheap.
4. Clase Azul 15th Anniversary Edition
Price/bottle: $30,000.
The Clase Azul celebrated its 15th anniversary by releasing 15 limited edition bottles priced at $30,000 each.
Each of the unique bottles was handcrafted to convey the story of Mexico and all proceeds from the sale of these bottles were donated to the Fundacion con Causa Azul A.C, which supports the work of craftsmen and artisans in Mexico.
Although this tequila is no longer available for sale, we imagine that Clase Azul will release another special edition for a future anniversary, so if you want to grab a bottle, be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
3. Jose Cuervo 250 Aniversario The Rolling Stones Special Edition
Price/Bottle: $75,000
Jose Cuervo was the very first legal tequila company to be established, with the company’s history dating back to 1795 .
To celebrate the 250th anniversary of Case Cuervo, Jose Cuervo released the 250 Anniversario tequila.
They also released a limited edition of the tequila, in collaboration with the Rolling Stones rock band.
The Jose Cuervo brand played a leading role in the Rolling Stones’ 1972 North American tour, ‘Tequila Sunrise’.
For the Rolling Stones special edition, the tequila bottle is embossed with the famous ‘Hot Lips’ logo in 14-carat gold, and spikes along the sides.
It also comes packaged in a leather guitar-shaped case, including seven shot glasses.
The tequila was initially released with a price tag of just $4,000, but prices have skyrocketed to almost $75,000 since then.
2. Tequila Ley .925 Ultra-Premium
Price/Bottle: $225,000
In 2006, the artists at Tequila Ley designed three unique bottles to contain the tequila designed by Mexican artist Alejandro Gomez.
Each bottle was only created 33 times, for a total of 99 bottles, each more expensive than the last.
While this tequila in a glass bottle retails for $3,500, the gold and silver bottle goes for $25,000, and the gold and platinum for $150,000.
The most expensive of all was the white gold and platinum, which carried the insane price tag of $225,000!
Although the tequila itself is delectable, the real stars are the bottles that collectors and tequila enthusiasts scrambled to try and grab while they lasted.
1. Tequila Ley .925 Diamante
Price/Bottle: $3.5 Million
Recorded as the most expensive tequila ever sold by a mile, the .925 Diamante is a true work of art.
The Ley .925 Diamante tequila is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, which is grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.
The tequila is then aged for 7 years inside French Oak barrels before being poured into a platinum and white gold version of Tequila Ley’s signature-shaped bottle.
However, none of these things truly account for the Diamante’s insane price tag.
As the name might suggest, the bottle is encrusted with 4000 diamonds, amounting to a total of 18.5 carats.
Now that we’ve come to the end of the list, you might have noticed a common theme.
Clase Azul had the most entries on this list, holding seven positions in the top 20.
This is largely due to the fact they treat their bottles as artwork, often showcasing hand-painted art in limited edition releases.
That’s not to take away from their tequila, but to say that their unique approach is very popular among collectors and tequila enthusiasts alike.
Here’s a quick recap of the 20 most expensive tequilas in the world:
- Tequila Ley .925 Diamante
- Tequila Ley .925 Ultra-Premium

The 25 most expensive cigars in the world.
What are the most expensive cigars in the world?
Cigars have risen in price rapidly over the past two decades.
They’re associated with luxury and wealth more than ever before, and cigar aficionados are constantly looking for rare and exclusive cigars to add to their collections.
This begs the question: how expensive can cigars be, and how difficult could it be to get your hands on the rarest of the rare?
Today we’re bringing you our updated list of the most expensive cigars in the world.
How did we select this list of cigars?
One of the issues with many expensive cigar lists on the internet, including the original version of our own, is how the cigar values are calculated.
For instance, there was once an auction for a very rare box of cigars that sold for more than half a million dollars, but the box consisted of almost 800 cigars. More details on that are below.
We’ve decided to thoroughly calculate the price/stick for each of the entries on this list, so you can have a clearer understanding of exactly which cigars are the most expensive in the world.
Whilst it may be difficult to obtain some of these cigars individually, assuming you’d want to obtain them of course, we think this is the best way of ranking the list.
Another thing we decided to take into account is limited edition releases which are packaged in custom humidors instead of regular boxes.
These humidors can often cost thousands of dollars alone, and end up distorting the price of the cigar.
Can people still buy these cigars?
Most of the cigars featured on this list can still be bought and smoked to this day.
Many of them are limited edition lines and are likely harder to find than most cigars.
What exactly makes some cigars more expensive than others?
Typically, there are a few things that can factor into cigar price:
- Limited edition productions
- Aged tobacco
- Brand recognition
Limited edition productions can often limit the total number of cigars produced, and as time passes the number of those remaining drops.
A lot of rare cigar releases also use aged tobacco leaves, and you’ll see several brands on this list that age their tobacco for at least 10 years before the cigar is rolled.
Brand recognition also plays a part as particular brands such as Cohiba are always sought after.
Finally, if none of the above results in a cigar being expensive, there are a select few who will cover cigars in gold leaf, and diamonds, and infuse them with expensive cognac.
But more on that later.
The 25 Most Expensive Cigars
We’ve done countless hours of research to ensure that our updated version of this list is the best resource available.
Without further ado, let’s get into this list of the 25 most expensive cigars in the world:
25. El Septimo The Zaya Collection (Mirifico Sapphire)
Price/Stick: $100
The Zaya Collection, produced by El Septimo, contains 8 different varieties of cigars.
Each variety contains five different filler tobaccos, with the tobacco leaves aged up to 15 years.
Typically, each cigar features are larger ring gauge of around 60, due to the variety of filler leaves used.
Whilst the cigars within this collection have very different flavor profiles from one another, the prices/stick are relatively similar.
At the time of researching this article, we’ve included the variety selling for the most, which is Mirifico Sapphire, at $100/stick.
Other varieties within the collection include:
- Bomba Orange
- Short Dream Topaz
- Kolosso Amethyst
- Fabuloso Dark Ruby
- Excepcion Esmerelda
- Double Shot White
- Bullet Black
24. Arturo Fuente Opus X 20th Anniversary
Price/Stick: $115
Arturo Fuente has long been known for their high-quality cigars, and their Opus X range contains some of the most sought-after cigars in the brand’s history.
The Opus X line was created in 1995 and in 2016 Fuente released the ‘Opus X 20th Anniversary’ edition to commemorate 20 years of the Opus X.
The ’20th Anniversary’ line contained four cigars:
- Father & Son
- God’s Whisper
- Power of A Dream
The prices do vary between each variety, however, because the ‘God’s Whisper’ variety comes in a ‘Perfecto’ size it tends to be sold for higher prices than the rest of the line.
23. Cohiba Spectre 2023
Price/Stick: $130
The Spectre line from Cohiba was initially introduced in 2018 and cost $90 per stick.
Separate versions of the Cohiba Spectre have since been released annually, with the most expensive being the Spectre 2023.
The 2023 Spectre is limited to 600 boxes of 10 cigars, featuring a 52 ring gauge and 6 1/2 inches in length.
What’s most interesting about the release is the packaging, which differs somewhat from most cigars, including that of Cohiba.
The cigars are stored in a box that opens vertically, featuring a hydraulic system that elevates the tubed cigars when you press the ‘O’ button inside the Cohiba logo.
22. Davidoff Royal Release Salamones
Price/Stick: $150
To be qualified enough to roll the Royal Release Salamones, Davidoff makes sure you have more than 15 years of experience rolling cigars.
This cigar is only rolled by 8 different people who together have rolled over 7 million cigars.
The Royal Release Salmones takes 10 years to grow from tobacco seed to finished product and is sold in boxes of 10 for $1,500.
21. Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Reserva Cosecha 2012
Price/Stick: $181
The Epicure No. 2 is one of Hoyo de Monterrey’s signature cigars.
In 2016, Habanos SA announced the release of the No. 2 Reserva Cosecha 2012.
This blend only uses tobacco leaves from 2012, aged for a minimum of three years.
With just 5000 boxes of 20 cigars produced, this cigar is bound to increase in value with time.
20. Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas Gran Reserva Cosecha 2013
Price/Stick: $200
Here we have another Hoyo de Monterrey ‘Reserva’ release, the Double Coronas Gran Reserva Cosecha 2013.
Typically, Gran Reserva lines are more sought after than regular Reserva series, due to the difference in tobacco aging.
Reserva cigar blends use tobacco leaves that are aged for a minimum of three years.
Whereas Gran Reserva blends use tobacco leaves aged for a minimum of 5 years.
Gran Reservas are also produced with only 15 sticks per box, instead of the usual 20.
19. Cohiba Siglo De Oro (Year of the Rabbit)
Price/Stick: $250
In 2023, Cohiba announced the release of the Siglo De Oro, to commemorate both the Chinese ‘Year of the Rabbit’, and also the 30th anniversary of the Siglo series.
Naturally, people across China, Hong Kong, and various other countries in Asia were the first to see these cigars unveiled.
Only 18,888 boxes of the Siglo De Oro will be produced.
That number might sound oddly specific, and it is indeed no coincidence, as the number 8 is lucky in Chinese culture.
The Siglo De Oro is a 54 ring gauge, 4 1/2 inch long cigar, sold in boxes of 18.
18. H. Upmann Sir Winston Gran Reserva Cosecha 2011
Price/Stick: $260
H. Upmann is one of the oldest cigar brands in the world, with history going all the way back to 1843.
The Sir Winston Gran Reserva Cosecha is of course named after the legendary Sir Winston Churchill , who was known not only for being one of the most important prime ministers in British history; but also for his love of cigars.
The Gran Reserve line was launched by H. Upmann in 2009, and in 2011 the Sir Winston edition was released.
Just 5000 boxes of 15 cigars were produced, for a total of 75,000 cigars.
17. Partagas Serie E No.1 Colección Habanos 2013
Price/stick: $280.
The Serie E No. 1 Colección Habanos 2013 from Partagas appears 18th on our list of the most expensive cigars.
With this particular cigar now being over 10 years old, its price has risen heavily.
You can still find this cigar for sale in the USA for roughly $280 per stick, however, prices do vary.
16. Hoyo De Monterrey Maravillas Collection 2015
Price/stick: $290.
The most expensive Hoyo de Monterrey cigar is the Maravillas Collection 2015.
There were just 2000 boxes of 20 cigars produced, amounting to a total of 40,000 cigars.
Given the smaller production number in comparison to the other Hoyo de Monterrey’s featured on this list, you can expect to pay $290/stick for this cigar.
15. Cohiba Behike Series
Price/Stick $300
Cohiba Behikes are one of the most popular and sought-after cigars in the world.
Behike cigars are known for their full-strength flavor and quality, provided you can get your hands on the authentic product.
They’re sold in three different ring gauges: 52, 54, and 56.
These sizes are represented in their names respectively: Behike 52, Behike 54, and Behike 56.
The Cohiba Behike cigars are sold in 10-count boxes and increase in price depending on their size.
14. Oliva Serie V Roaring Twenties Super Limited Edition
Oliva Cigar Co. are well known for producing cigars that provide a great smoking experience for a great value.
However, in 2023 they decided to do something a little different.
The most popular line of Oliva cigars is the ‘Series V’, and last year they announced a new Series V Roaring Twenties Super Limited Edition.
When we take a look at the average price of an Oliva cigar, we can see a price of around $10, so what’s different?
The packaging is the most notable difference, with the Roaring Twenties SLE cigars being placed in boxes produced by Daniel Marshall.
Half of the cigars (the top layer) are also covered in gold foil.
In addition, there will only ever be 300 boxes created, for a total of 3000 cigars.
13. Trinidad Casilda Coleccion Habanos 2019
Price/stick: $370.
As you may have already noticed, Habanos limited edition collections can become incredibly expensive.
The Trinidad Casilda 2019 is another edition within the Coleccion Habanos with only 3000 boxes being produced.
This cigar once again features the traditional book-shaped box packaging as with any ‘Coleccion Habanos’ release.
Getting your hands on a single stick could cost up to $370.
12. Daniel Marshall 24KT Golden Gigante
Price/Stick: $395
Continuing both the obsession with gold and also the story of Daniel Marshall brings us to the next cigar on our list.
For those who are unaware of Daniel Marshall ; he’s a well-known figure within the cigar industry for his work with manufacturing custom humidors.
In 2011, Marshall decided to create a 24KT gold cigar for his friend’s 64th birthday.
Marshall then produced a limited run of the cigar which would be packaged in a custom-signed travel humidor.
The 24kt cigar comes in two sizes, Torpedo and Gigante, with the Gigante size being the more expensive of the two.
Its base is that of the DM2 cigar, also sold by Daniel Marshall, which is rolled and sold to him by the Plasencia factory.
Daniel then covers the cigar with a thin layer of gold leaf from Italy.
11. Montecristo Gran Piramides Limited Edition 2017
Price/Stick: $400
Montecristo is one of the most popular cigar brands in the world, and one of their most expensive cigars is the Gran Piramides Limited Edition from 2017.
The Gran Piramides are part of the ‘Coleccion Habanos’, which come packaged in a box that’s shaped to look like a book.
At its core, the Gran Piramides are a Montecristo No. 2 that has been increased in size for this limited collection.
This cigar has a length of 6.25 inches and a ring gauge of 57, while Montecristo No. 2’s are a 52 ring gauge, and slightly shorter in length.
Only 2000 boxes of the Gran Piramides 2017 were produced by Habanos SA.
10. Partagas Lusitanias Gran Reserva Cosecha 2007
Price/Stick: $430
Continuing with another Habanos SA-produced cigar, the 2007 Gran Reserva Lusitanias from Partagas is our 11th most expensive cigar.
Just 5000 boxes of 15 cigars were produced, resulting in a total count of 75,000 cigars.
The Gran Reserve Cosecha 2007 can still be found for sale, but given its age, you might have to shell out more than you wish to.
9. Cohiba Talisman Edicion Limitada 2017
Price/Stick: $450
When it was originally released, the Cohiba Talisman EL 2017 cost just $547 for a box of 10.
Since their release, the price has risen rapidly year over year.
The cigars were produced at the world-famous El Laguito factory in Havana, Cuba.
At the time of writing this article, you’d be lucky to find a single stick for under $450.
8. Cohiba 55 Aniversario Edicion Limitada 2021
Price/Stick: $500
While not the most expensive release from Cohiba in the year 2021, the next entry on this list was certainly an important one.
The 55 Anniversario Edicion Limitada 2021 marked the 55th anniversary of Cohiba.
As the name suggests, the cigar was indeed a limited edition, and difficult to get a hold of.
The cigar was released in 10-count boxes, costing roughly $5000/box.
7. Davidoff Oro Blanco
Price/Stick: $600
Davidoff claims that the Oro Blanco is the most exceptional cigar they’ve ever created.
The Oro Blanco is a 6-inch, 54 ring gauge, toro-shaped cigar, with an all-Dominican wrapper, binder, and filler
So why does it cost $600 per cigar?
One of the main reasons for its high cost is due to Davidoff’s aging process.
The Oro Blanco, which translates to “White Gold”, is made with tobacco leaves grown in areas with some of the richest soil across the entire Dominican Republic.
The leaves are then aged for 12 years before the cigar is rolled; a task completed only by Davidoff’s most experienced rollers (15+ years of experience).
After one additional year of aging, the single cigar is then reviewed, approved, and placed into a custom box.
6. Mayan Sicars
Price/stick: $633.
At the beginning of this article, we mentioned a specific auction involving a box of 800 cigars.
In 2012, a large crate of Mayan cigars, expected to be more than 600 years old, was discovered in Guatemala.
It’s important to mention that the most reliable source of this information mentions the sale of all 800 cigars for a total of $507,000, which would put the price/stick at $633.
The cigars were buried deep below the surface in sealed clay pots, and discovered by an archeologist team from Tampa University.
Who paid the $507,000? A man named Gary Liotta, owner of the Santiago Cigar Factory in New York.
5. Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserve
Price/Stick: $750
On the sixth spot, we have Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserve cigar.
It’s made each year, and if you’re a cigar enthusiast, you will need to preorder them a few years beforehand.
The total size of each cigar is 7-5 x 52 inches. The Connecticut Maduro wrapper comes with a Dominican binder and filler that is aged for 12 years.
The filler is infused with Louis XIII cognac, which gives it an amazing aroma.
This cigar is very rare and special, and the cognac has been known for selling only to dignitaries worldwide.
A total of 75 boxes are being made every year. The incredible aroma, as well as the taste of the cigar, will be something that you will be so impressed with that you will never forget.
4. Cohiba Ideales Coleccion 2021
Price/Stick: $1100
As the name suggests, this Cohiba cigar was released in 2021, measuring almost 7 inches in length, with a 56 ring gauge.
The Ideales Coleccion 2021 is limited to just 3000 boxes of 20 cigars, totaling 60,000 sticks.
The box is manufactured to look like a book.
Cohiba’s Ideales Coleccion 2021 is the last cigar to feature on this list that isn’t either covered in gold leaf and crystals or nearly 20 years old.
Which makes it the most expensive plain cigar that can still be purchased today.
3. Gurkha Black Dragon (2006 Edition)
Price/stick: $1,150.
The Gurkha Black Dragon is a cigar that you can still buy and smoke newer versions of to this day, but the original 2006 edition is a rare find.
The OG boxes were handmade using camel bone and were limited to just 5 boxes of 100 cigars.
Those who have smoked the original Black Dragon from 2006, and the newer editions seem to conclude that the taste is more or less the same.
Although the 2006 first edition of the Gurkha Black Dragon cost around $1,150, given how limited it was at the time; the current version of this cigar can be added to your collection for just $40/stick.
2. King of Denmark Cigar
Price/stick: $4,500.
The King of Denmark cigar is produced by Royal Danish and only 30 sticks are rolled per day.
Buyers can customize the cigar with both 24KT gold leaf and Swarovski crystals.
They’re also able to have their name inscribed on the cigar.
Whilst this cigar doesn’t have to cost you thousands, it can reach up to $4,500/stick depending on the customization.
1. Gurkha Royal Courtesan
Price/Stick: $1.36 Million
The most expensive cigar in the world is the Gurkha Royal Courtesan cigar.
The Royal Courtesan is worth a ridiculous $1.36 million per stick.
One of the most interesting things here is that Gurkha are not known for their quality.
In fact, Gurkha’s quality control is often a common problem reported by fellow cigar aficionados.
This begs the question: why does this cigar cost so much more money than anything else on the list before it?
Let’s get into the details of the Royal Courtesan:
- The cigar’s filler is infused with Remy Martin’s Louis XIII cognac.
- It’s hand-rolled by a select few skilled rollers, who are blindfolded.
- The band of the cigar is covered in 5-carat diamonds.
- Rare Himalayan tobacco leaves are used for the wrapper.
- The wrapper is also covered in a layer of 24KT gold leaf.
- Personal delivery to the owner by a messenger
Notable Mentions
That concludes our main list of the 25 most expensive cigars in the world.
There are, however, a few entries we’d like to mention.
Although these weren’t included in the main list, they’re worth mentioning to any fellow cigar aficionado.
Regius Double Corona Cigar
Price: $52,000.
We decided to leave out the Regius Double Corona from our main list as the cigar itself is not the main reason for the high price.
In 2013, Regius Cigars developed their Double Corona cigar, which is produced in Nicaragua.
However, the main attraction was not actually the cigar itself, but what was included with the purchase.
The buyer of the cigar would be flown first class out to Regius headquarters in Nicaragua, where they would be given a private tour of the factory.
They would also be allowed to create their own cigar blend, and be given 1000 sticks of said blend to take home with them.
Gran Habano #5 El Gigante
Price: $185,000.
Technically this cigar does have a clear price/stick, selling for $185,000 in 2013.
However, it’s probably worth mentioning that the cigar is 19 feet long, 3 feet thick, and weighs over 600 pounds.
Here are some interesting facts about the Gran Habano #5 El Gigante:
- Despite its size, it can be smoked by multiple people at the same time.
- Made with 1,600 pounds of tobacco.
- Equivalent to smoking 25,000 cigars
- Contains 15,000 wrapper leaves
- Has a ring gauge of 1920
- Weighs 2,500 pounds with the wooden case
We decided to separate the El Gigante from our main list of expensive cigars, but the story itself is worth mentioning.

If you’ve dreamed about moving abroad and starting life afresh in a new country, then read through this list before you do, as you might be shocked to find out just how expensive some of these lesser-known countries are.
We’ve put together this list based on accommodation and living expenses for a single person living in the capital city of each country, and according to population.
Here’s a list of the 10 most expensive countries to live in worldwide…
The list of countries and figures mentioned below have been compiled from various sources around the web, such as World Population Review & Nomad List .
These are the 10 most expensive countries to live in worldwide:
10. Barbados – $2,061
Kicking off our list of the 10 most expensive countries to live in worldwide, is Barbados.
Barbados is a sovereign island nation in the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, which is the Caribbean region of North America.
It covers approximately 349km² and is 23 kilometres wide and 34 kilometres long, with a total population of 285,719 people.
Barbados is the fourth-most densely populated country in the Americas and, it’s capital city, Bridgetown, has approximately 110,000 people living in it.
To rent a one-bedroom studio apartment in Bridgetown, you’re looking at spending around $500 a month, or $100 a night in an Airbnb.
A basic meal out will cost you no less than $13. A beer is around $6.50 and coffee is approximately $5.00 depending on where you go.
9. Japan – $2,612
The ninth most expensive country to live in worldwide is Japan.
Japan is an archipelago island nation in South-East Asia, made up of 6,852 islands, with a current total population of 126.8 million people.
Of the 6,582 islands, the four largest islands account for the majority of inhabitants, as roughly 97% Japans population live on the four islands.
Japan has many major cities, like Osaka, Yokohoma, Nagoya and Sapporo, which are all populated by more than 2 million people.
However, Tokyo, Japans Capital City and the largest city in Japan, has an approximate population of 37 million people.
To rent a one-bedroom studio apartment in Tokyo, you’re looking at spending in the region of $1,370 a month, or $111 a night in an Airbnb.
Eating out varies in price, but as an average for one person, you should be looking at spending around $15.00 for a basic meal and around $6.00 for a beer.
Coffee is also pretty reasonable, considering how expensive Tokyo is, at $2.81 a cup.
8. Norway – $2,659
Located in Northern Europe, Norway is a Scandinavian country with a total population of 5.3 million people.
Norway shares its borders with Sweden, Russia and Finland, and has a total landmass of 385,203 km².
It’s only the 171st most densely populated country on earth, with roughly 14 people for every square kilometre.
Rent is expensive in Norway’s capital, so renting a one-bedroom studio apartment in Oslo, will set you back around $1,193 a month, or $85 a night in an Airbnb.
You won’t have much change left from $15 when buying a meal out, and a beer will set you back around $9.11.
7. The Bahamas – $2,704
The next most expensive country in the world to live in is The Bahamas.
Made up of over 700 islands, the Bahamas has an approximate population of 389,482 million people living across its 13,943km² landmass.
The largest city in the Bahamas is Nassau, with a total population of 255,000.

You’ll need to take at least $50-$100 with you when you go out for a meal and some drinks, as a basic meal costs around $15-$20 and a beer will cost you around $2.50.
Coffee is a little on the expensive side, at around $5 each.
6. Luxembourg – $2,751
One of the smallest countries on our list, Luxembourg, is also one of the smallest sovereign nations on the planet, and it won’t leave you with a lot of wiggle room when it comes to your monthly expenses.
Luxembourg is a landlocked country, located in western Europe, and has an estimated population of 620,319 people.
Its population is small compared to other countries on the list, however, it has roughly 207 people per square kilometre, making it the 67th most densely populated country on earth.
When you arrive in Luxembourg City, you can expect to pay around $1,322 per month for a one-bedroom studio apartment, or $80 a night in an Airbnb.

Eating a basic meal out will cost between $17-$25 for one person depending on what you order.
5. Iceland – $2,802
Coming in at number five on our list of the most expensive countries in the world is Iceland.
Iceland is located between the North and Atlantic Oceans and has a total surface area of 103,001 square kilometres.
However, Iceland’s population of 339,949 people, remains relatively low in comparison to others on our list as its harsh geographical landscape proves difficult to live in for many, at times.
As a result, Iceland has the lowest population density of any European country, at just 3 people per kilometre.
Staying in Iceland will cost you approximately $1,236 a month for a one-bedroom studio apartment in the capital city of Reykjavik, or $128 a night in an Airbnb.
Whilst you’re there, eating out will cost you around $12 for a basic meal, $8 for a beer and $2.15 for a cup of coffee.

Eating out will cost you approximately $18 per person and beers and coffee are anyway between $5.50-$6.50 a pop!
3. Switzerland – $3,162
