The luxe Lanesborough Hotel in London has just acquired the world's oldest bottle of cognac, distilled in 1770, and is offering it to patrons of their plush Library Bar (above) for £4,000, or about $6,000, per shot. That's considerably more than the ultra-expensive Louis XIII Black Pearl Magnum cognac my colleague Lisa Palladino wrote about last summer, which cost $2,500 per shot. In addition to the 240-year-old tipple, the Lanesborough, a St. Regis property, just installed a new walk-in cigar humidor, the first of its kind in a London hotel. The humidor houses 1,000 cigars and contains 25 private lockers for the personal collections of top patrons, who can enjoy Cuban and even pre-Castro smokes in the hotel's posh Garden Room.

Need something spooky to smoke for your Halloween party? Then you may want to visit one of the "unlucky" 13 retailers chosen to stock this year's Tatuaje Monster cigar. Tatuaje's 2008 monster, known as the Frank in reference to Frankenstein, is a 7 5/8 inch by 49 ring cigar which is box pressed giving it a square appearance just like poor old Frankenstein's head. The wrapper looks sewn together and the cigar band is a Frankenstein-skin green. The Frank comes in a coffin-shaped box of 13 and sells for $13 per stick.How many boxes are available? Why, 666 of course.

The mint condition cigars in a wooden presentation case consist of 25 Petit Coronas, 25 Coronas, and 25 each of two sizes of Perfectos. Also featured in the luxurious sale are several cases of vintage Krug champagne, headed by a couple cases of Vintage 1985 estimated at about $3,000 each.

Why do women smoke cigars? The reasons may differ from the reasons that men smoke them. Research conducted by the Association for Women Cigar Smokers in cooperation with Cigar Research found that 97% of men feel peaceful when smoking cigars but only 76% of women feel that way. Instead as Cigar Cyclopedia reports "women responded that they feel powerful (24%), attractive (25%), strong (15%), fun (43%), and rebellious (22%) when cigar smoking." Men reported these same feelings in lower numbers.

The survey also revealed that women are overwhelmingly brand loyal and that although they buy cigars online they also shop in stores where they feel welcome and are not treated as amateurs. They are also mostly not swayed by box or label design and 59% of the women surveyed said their motivation for smoking cigars was what I think is the best reason of all, the taste.

Newman families are auctioning off dozens of highly prized cigars to raise money for their foundation, the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation, which donates proceeds to impoverished children living in the Dominican Republic, where the lauded cigars are produced. The foundation has already raised over $3 million for needy kids.

The auction will go on for another several days, though cigar connoisseurs are already in a bidding war over a selection of OpusX cigars from Carlos Fuente Jr.'s personal collection. With three days left before this particular auction's end, 37 eager bidders have notched the price to $6,500.

The hot cigar to get your hands on might just be the new offering from Dunhill. Per Cigar Aficionado, the Dunhill Anniversary Edition, which celebrates 100 years of the Dunhill cigar brand, will be limited to 20,000 cigars.
,
The cigars will be made in Nicaragua by the Toraños and distributed by C.A.O. International Inc. So far all that is known is that the cigars will have a blend similar to the Dunhill Signed Range which uses Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos aged three years and bound in authentic African Cameroon leaf and a Cuban seed Nicaraguan wrappers. The new cigars will, according to Dunhill brand manager Bruce Lewis, have a little more finesse and sweetness. Want yours? They should be out mid-fall of this year.

Swiss cigar manufacturer Oettinger Davidoff has announced their latest creation, a cigar named after the famous Sir Winston Churchill. The Churchill Millenium Blend is set apart from many of Davidoff's other cigars in a couple of ways, including the fact that it's quite a bit stronger in flavor and is wrapped in a rare variety of tobacco leaf that leaves it with a darker than average appearance. The Churchill range of cigars will be made of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic, Peru, Nicaragua and Ecuador.

Record-setting cigar roller Jose Castelar is working on a new champion stogie in Havana, Cuba. Castelar is in the process of rolling a more than 65-foot cigar by Wednesday which could bring him his fourth world record from the Guinness Book. His previous record is 66.9 feet. He has been working on this project eight hours a day since Sunday and plans to finish on Wednesday. This event is timed to coincide with the 28th International Tourism Fairground and the cigar will be displayed there once it is finished.

UPDATE: The IHT reports that Castelar is still working on the cigar which will likely be 98 feet, not long enough to beat the current record. Guinness says Puerto Rican cigar-maker Patricio Pena made a 135 foot cigar last year.

2nd UPDATE: Looks like we have a winner after all. Castelar's cigar measures 148 feet, nine inches.

At £220 per cigar, you better be smoking this for a special occasion not just a day on the golf course. But certainly the slow-burning tobacco will be immensely enjoyed by those who are willing to pay the price. Only 4,000 of these beauties have been produced making their smokers part of an elite club. With forty cigars per box, ringing up at £8,800, hopefully you have a group of deserving friends to share it with...or who will even share the enormous cost!

For your December cigar gift-giving needs, Davidoff has come out with something new and pricey. The Davidoff Royal Salomones have a 21-centimeter, extralong Salomones format with a 57 ring gauge. It has a slightly bulbous shape at the cigar's lower end. Only the four best Davidoff cigar rollers are put to work creating the cigar in the factory at Villa Gonzalez, in the Dominican Republic. The cigars use a blend of seven tobaccos which are fermented and matured for at least seven years. The binder leaf and filler tobaccos originate from the Dominican Republic and are grown in the Cibao Valley. The cigar is a medium strength smoke with a full rich flavor. The cigars come in a box of 50 which is made of mahogany wood with cedar wood trays. The cigar is available in a limited edition starting this month. I haven't heard any word on official pricing but rumors earlier this year put the price at around $2,000 a box.

Cigars are often a symbol of special occasions and holidays, and so is generosity and giving to charity, so it seems perfect that Fuente has combined the two during the Christmas season. Their OpusX cigars have been packaged up in 500 boxes of 22 cigars and called Opus 22. Full of "wild new sizes," each set includes cigars that aren't typically available retail -- like the BBMF shown in this picture. It's a large figurado with a bulbous foot, a moptop, and a tip of maduro wrapper. Each Opus 22 box sells for $750, with proceeds going to underprivileged children through the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation.
