What all of these things have in common is a lust for luxury. Now his name is finally attached to the ultimate symbol of masculine luxury: the cigar. Goldwin Cigars, the high end cigar maker and official supplier to the exclusive Beverly Hills Cigar Club, has developed a cigar so luxurious it’s worthy only of the Sun King’s name.

The Louixs is the world’s finest cigar – which it should be as it’s also the world’s most expensive cigar, priced at $50 US a stick. It’s made by hand with a rare Rosado leaf, which wraps hand-picked Nicaraguan tobacco. In fact, every detail of production is done by hand and attended to meticulously, meaning that only 800 boxes of the Louixs are produced every month. That also means that its 6-inch, 60-guage – an entirely new category in the world of luxury cigars – smokes smoothly, slowly, and luxuriously. While you could probably have one of these everyday, you might want to save the Louixs for special occasions – the kind when you need to feel as comfortably powerful as the absolute monarch of Early Modern Europe. This is his cigar: the divine ruler of any humidor.
