Smoking a cigar is not a healthy activity and we know it, but it is a must for many fans and a real status symbol.

Cigar lovers also do not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars just to enjoy some top quality product and is certainly an area reserved for those with disposable income.

In the case of DM 2 Gold Torpedo, sold $ 200 on a single humidor or five, it is even more because you spend money to see gold go up in smoke and in the true sense of the word.

The idea of Daniel Marshall, however, has won fans since its first appearance last year at the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers.

After having for years made humidor luxury, handmade of precious wood, Marshall went to the production of cigars in 1995, studying a range of high prestige, DM Premium Cigars.

The top has now been achieved with the creation of cigar “gold”: Is used to achieve 24 carat gold leaf signed by Giusto Manetti Battiloro, Florentine master of the greatest in the manufacturing of precious metal in thin sheets, even food.

It’s a long and patient work of not less than 45 minutes then you need to wrap the cigar in his precious garment. The “body” Red Label is a Pure Nicaragua cigar composed of a perfect mix of the two best tobaccos in the country, Esteli and Jalapa, grown by Nestor Plasencia according to ancient traditions which allow the preservation of original flavor.

The cigar is initiated in Nicaragua where he is patiently rolled up under the supervision of Manuel Quesada and Daniel Marshall then covered with precious gold leaf.

The flavor of the cigar is described as a blend of rich coffee flavor with a touch of cinnamon and a hint of citrus in the finish, but to give a special taste really is gold. The processing of the leaves is very special and also gold has a different melting temperature than tobacco, so while it sucks for a while remains’ intact, up to shrink into tiny flakes falling on tobacco.

The heat allows the flavors to mingle among them, say experts from Daniel Marshall, the precious metal makes it all the sweeter taste of the cigar. In short, for cigar lovers an experience worth trying.

The Welsh Cake was very valuable idea of Clive Ranger, a way to celebrate the anniversary and at the same time doing well.

The idea is hardly original given the number of examples of which we have spoken the cupcake for Valentine’s Day to chocolate with real diamond.

What is striking is the choice of the sweet, simple and typical, which was not made any changes, and of course the ring.

The Welsh Cake is typical of Wales and is a sort of soft sugar cookie high and that in itself does not have any valuable ingredient, just flour, butter, sugar, raisins and milk. The version, however, has something more valuable: decorations made with cubic zirconia and a ring gold 18-carat diamond, Perched on top of the cake.

The jewel is a creation Clive Ranger made with Welsh gold, extracted from local mines in Dolgellau Gwynfynydd and mounts a diamond pure.

The cake will be displayed in the window at the bakery all day, then there will be a gala event where one lucky can take home the sweet and above the ring, and will collect funds for the foundation to charity Marie Curie.
