World Most Expensive Cigar : Mayan Sicars ($507,100)

The Mayans were making cigars, referred to as sicars or sikars, since at least the 12th century. After encountering their practice of making and smoking cigars in the 15th century, Christopher Columbus is said to have brought tobacco to Europe. These Mayan sicars are some of the most well preserved examples ever found. They sold for over half a million dollars at auction, but these aren’t just any ordinary cigar — they’re literally ancient. 

They were discovered in 2012 in a Guatemalan village and revealed to be at least 600 years old. Technically, these extremely rare cigars could be smoked. However, it’s hard to imagine that the owners of these will dare take a light to them.
