Before Li Du could say anything, Sayder's eyes were drawn to the cigars lying around Li Du. ”The Royal Danish Cigar?”

”Yes, seems like you know a lot about cigars. This brand of cigar isn't well-known in America.”

The main patrons of Royal Danish Cigars were mainly the rich, including leaders in the Middle East, China, Japan, Korea and some African countries.

In addition, the countries in which it had entered the civilian market were concentrated in northern Europe, such as Denmark, Switzerland, Finland and so on.

”Of course, I do,” said Sayder. ”I like cigars, I like their charming aroma. This is a good cigar, isn't it?”

Hans wasted no time in asking, ”Can these be put on auction too?”

Sayder shook his head. ”Royal Danish Cigars may be relatively a rare sight in the United States, but one can get this thing easily via the internet. The profit from putting them on auction will be small.”

He had come specifically for the giant gun, which was both handmade and custom made. He had never seen anything like that before. None of the weapon factories had launched anything similar, so it would certainly grab the attention of many firearm enthusiasts.

Hoffman's Old Hoods Market was willing to waive the commission fees and help auction the gun to create more awareness for the old goods market as well as increase its popularity. Firearms had a huge market with the general public.

Of course, for the old goods market, once they had a good reputation and were popular with the general public, earning money would be much easier as well.

Seeing that Sayder was interested in the cigars, he handed him one, and said, ”This is for you. Try it to see how the taste is?

Sayder smiled and waved his hand, refusing the offer. ”No, this cigar is too expensive. You should sell it, don't give it away. In fact, I'm also not that interested in it. What I'm interested in are the cigar boxes. I'd like to collect them.”

As he said so, his eyes rested on the cigar humidors that were lying on the ground.

Collecting cigar boxes in the United States was rather common. In the early days, cigars were a luxury good for the nobles and aristocrats. The cigar boxes used to preserve the cigars were generally beautifully made.

Li Du was also sunning the cigar boxes. These humidors tried to create the ideal tropical environment for the cigar. They were slightly damaged due to the long period of time they'd maintained a higher temperature and withstood a higher level of humidity.

An intact cigar humidor was considered an asset. It could provide an ideal environment for cigars in storage so the original flavor of the cigars would be retained—regardless of whether it was stationary or in-transit.

Therefore, if the cigar box were in good condition, it could be sold for a good sum of money even if it was not sold to a collector.

They had ten boxes with two different styles. Eight of them were the same: three-hinged cigar boxes with the Dunhill logo on them.

Dunhill was a renowned luxury brand for men, dedicated to delight male luxury-goods consumers from start to finish. It had more than 220 boutique stores all around the world.

The other two boxes only had a large DM logo on them, unlike the eight boxes which had the Dunhill logo as well as the DM logo. These two boxes probably both belonged to the same series.

The eight similar boxes were all made of brownish-yellow cedar wood. Their shape was traditional—just like a bread toaster.

The two boxes were designed differently from the other eight. Both boxes had adopted the unconventional design.

The tops of the boxes were embedded with big steely skull heads with some metallic ornaments along the edges. The material of the box was unknown, but Li Du was sure it was different from the cedar wood.

Sayder's eyes glistened when he saw the two special cigar boxes with different designs. He tried hard, however, to make sure that his eyes were on the Dunhill cigar boxes, and to avoid looking at the boxes—especially the one with the skull design.
