You don't mean Arturo Fuente, do you?
You may have a point here--if a guy has 12,000 to blow on cigars they'd better be fresh and top o the line. Show some discernment.
I want to believe the money was not wasted. But it could just be rich guys flaunting it. When I was in the Gulf I was amazed at how really rich folks created a demand that turned ordinary items like wristwatches into 100,000 dollar power accessories. When Trump cronies sit down with Trump to badmouth the press while relaxing at Mar a lago, would any want to be seen with a $150 cigar?
I'm hoping good cigars go to people who can enjoy them.
