Juan Panesso has had a lot of strange requests over the years he's
managed his online cigar store-- but a 20-foot long stogie with a
$200,000 price tag was easily the strangest. And the most stressful.
'We try to cater to premium high end sm0kers,' Mr Panesso tells the Daily Mail. 'But we've never had something like this. It's really odd, and stressful and exciting at the same time.'
'We thought it was a case of fraud,' he said. 'I mean, we didn't believe
it. It was not just an odd request, it was also a large amount of
money. We wouldn't just take a credit card on that order.' Mr Panesso,
who manages the Florida-based CigarsDirect.com,
got a call from a customer two weeks ago with a laundry list of
expensive requests. 'It was like he had just read the ratings and was
picking the best cigars.'
The customer, who Mr Penesso said is a private collector who lives
outside the United States, asked about a very rare, high-end cigar that
costs $750. The man ordered 100. 'At that point I didn't believe him at
all,' Mr Panesso said. 'It's like buying a 100 Ferraris. In my years
here I have never sold one of these cigars.'
Then came the big request: find the world's biggest cigar.
