Interesting comparison of a couple of lots:

Ok, so well beyond even my imaginable price range, and I do recognize the investment value of basically becoming an exclusive distributor of a limited LFD vitola or even resale of the NFT itself. It just seems a bit off that you could buy cigars made for and owned by Winston Churchill 4.5x over before you can meet the current high bid on the LFD NFT. Maybe I'm putting too much into the historical aspect. In the pic, the Churchill cigars look a little rough.

Unknown. Could be Churchills, but he was known to smoke varying sizes.

The LFDs are 6.25 x 42. I bet Wombat bid them up to $90k

A contract signed by Marilyn Monroe sold for more than a letter signed by George Washington. Not sure what that means.
