You’ve probably seen pictures of the Davidoff 702 cigars on various websites. These cigars are made by Davidoff of Geneva, a company that’s been in existence since 1865. The cigar itself is a masterpiece, but the price is out of this world. The price for these cigars is only around $30, so if you can afford one, it would be worth dropping some money on. The cigar has a rich taste and is surprisingly smooth.
8. Trinidad Fundadores -$46

For years, the Fundadores has held the title of being the most expensive cigar in the world. Trinidad came up with an idea for a special blend by blending in a few special types of tobacco. The blend is called filler tobaccos from Yerba Maté plantations and it has been aged for about five years before being put into cigars. It generally looks like any other cigar, but on close inspection it does have some differences.
9. Cohiba Siglo VI – $50

This cigar was specifically designed for Castro, the Cuban president. It’s been reported that he loves to smoke a cigar by this company: Cohiba. This particular brand is considered one of the best cigars you can try. Each batch is aged for about three years before being placed in a box and sold to customers. Even with this short time frame, it’s still one of the most expensive products in the world. The cigars are consistent and require a different lighting method.
10. Padron 1926 Series No. 1 – $23
(https://www.jrcigars.com/item/padron-1926-series/no.1-maduro/PD2613_1.html)
Back in 2015, the Padron 1926 Series No. 3 was the most expensive cigar in the world. The price went to $21 that year, which was pretty shocking for a cigar. However, this time around, cigars from this series have risen to an unbelievable $23 apiece. They have been brought back with very little changes from their original version. The tobacco used is Maduro and it has been re-created from 1866 to 1926 and is rolled in Havana.
11. Fuente Fuente Opus X Double Corona – $26
(https://uncrate.com/arturo-fuente-opus-x-double-corona-cigar/#:~:text=This%20cigar%20is%20made%20using,%2412.)
This particular cigar was designed by Fuente himself and is one of the most expensive cigars in the world. The price goes up to $26 per cigar because this is a very limited edition with only some 4,000 boxes in existence. The cigar has been in existence since 1990, which you can tell by looking at the packaging created for it. It’s made to represent Fuente’s favorite place: Cuba.
12. Arturo Fuente Anniverxario,-$78
(https://halfwheel.com/review-arturo-fuente-don-arturo-gran-aniverxario-natural/5537/#:~:text=Like%20a%20lot%20of%20the,themselves%20worth%20just%20under%20%2460.)
This is another incredible cigar from Arturo Fuente. The blend creates a complex flavored cigar which is one of the best you’ll ever smoke. Many people don’t even let it sit in their humidors for a year because they know it will be worth the wait, and the price tag will go up as time goes by.
13. Arturo Fuente Opus X, – $300
(https://www.neptunecigar.com/cigar/arturo-fuente-opus-x)

14. Cohiba Behike, – $450
(https://www.businessinsider.com/cohiba-behike-cigar-the-limited-edition-smoke-that-costs-420-2011-12#:~:text=Cohiba%20Behike%20Cigar%20%2D%20the%20Limited%20Edition%20Smoke%20That%20Costs%20%24420)
This is one of the most expensive cigars out there. It was originally created by Cohiba, who has been making amazing cigars since 1929. The blend is a Reserva Cubana which means it is aged around seven years.

15. Gurkha His Majesty’s Reserves, – $750
(https://ltwbh.com/product/gurkha-his-majestys-reserve/#:~:text=Widely%20known%20as%20the%20%E2%80%9Cworld’s,of%20%24750%20%E2%80%93%20%241000%20per%20cigar.)
The Gurkha brand is a limited edition. Only a few hundred of these cigars have been created, so if you’re a big fan of the brand you might have to do some searching to find one of these. The price is going to be a bit steep on this one, but it’s well worth the money spent on it if you can afford it.
16. Gurkha Black Dragon, – $1,150

(https://classicmindset.com/top-10-most-expensive-cigars-in-the-world/#:~:text=Mayan%20Sicars%2C%20%E2%80%93%20%24507%2C000&text=They%20were%20created%20during%20the,dating%20back%20to%20600%20years.)
These cigars were originally created for a client of the company. It doesn’t take this much money to create a cigar for them, but the staff at the company decided that they were up to the task and this cigar is definitely an expensive one.
