Who can doubt that fact is stranger than fiction?

Paul Magier, for just three years the owner of a tiny cigar company called Puros de Armando Ramos, closed a deal to buy 46,000 pounds of tobacco for $2.5 million, an incredible $54.35 per pound.
Expensive? Yes. Did he overpay because of lack of experience? No.
This tobacco was special.

And it was legal.
Really.
