Once the box was opened they could see the cigars inside.
Humidors held cigars, which normally weren't a big deal, but these were exceptionally pretty. They were wrapped in golden paper and covered with small crystals!
Li Du had been shocked upon first seeing these. If they were ordinary cigars, he wouldn't have wasted the effort and money to get the unit. It was because the cigars were extraordinary that he had bid for it.
In America, cigars weren't a luxury good. Many ordinary citizens were able to enjoy them. They were usually made cheaply so the companies would make more money, to cater to the wide consumer base, and for the masses to enjoy.
One box of plain cigars, even one carton of them, wouldn't be of much use.
However, these cigars were extraordinary. Just looking at their packaging their value was obvious.
Hans took one cigar and slowly placed it in front of his nose to take a sniff. He joyfully nodded his head and said, ”Very good. The smell of this cigar is very rich. They are still in good condition.”
Even if they were contained in the box, if the temperature and moisture were wrong, the quality of the cigars would drop.
The humidor wasn't an all-purpose box. To maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity, there needed to be frequent maintenance to adjust the temperature and moisture of the environment.
No one knew how long the box had been in the storage unit. If no one had maintained it for a long time and the conditions in the box weren't right, this would diminish the quality of the cigars.
Usually, these containers couldn't be shut tight as there needed to be air flow, but that also needed to be controlled. The temperature should be maintained at 64 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity maintained at 65 to 75 percent.
Hans took one cigar and one line of words caught his attention. He asked, ”What brand is this? Is it Trinidad or COHIBA? Or is it Gurkha Black Dragon?”
These three cigar brands were the most well-known luxury cigar brands. Gurkha Black Dragon was known to produce the most expensive cigars, Trinidad was the national treasure of Cuba, while COHIBA was the designated gift from Cuba's president, Castro.
Packaged cigars would indicate the brand. Hans quickly found it and said, ”No, we are all wrong. This is from the Royal Danish!”
Some of them were confused after hearing this.
”What's that?”
”Royal Danish?”
”Cigars produced in Denmark?”
”Cigars are manufactured there?”
The person who understood cigars the most was actually Li Du because when he had inspected the unit with the little bug, he'd gone online to check.
Royal Danish was still a young company and wasn't yet that popular. It mainly catered to the wealthy so the masses would not have heard of them.
The founder of this industry was Jan Vistisen and he was deeply interested in cigars. However, he was not in this industry previously but had been a magnate in the social media industry.
However, because of his health problems, the doctor recommended for him to pursue something relaxing he enjoyed, hence he'd started producing his own cigars.
