Casa Batllo (Barcelona)
When owner Josep Batllo commissioned architect Antoni Gaudi to remodel his 1877 home in Barcelona, Spain, the architect not only made radical changes to every part of the original dwelling, but also created a modern masterpiece that more than 100 years later still commands attention. Completed in 1904, the house has a façade covered in colorful mosaics, with balconies that resemble skulls and first-floor columns that look like human bones — not your typical fixer-upper.

The Haines Shoe House (York County, Pa.)
Modeled after a high-top work shoe, the Haines Shoe House, built in 1948, was shoe entrepreneur Mahlon Haines’ most outrageous advertising gimmick. The 48-foot-long by 17-foot- wide by 25-foot-tall wood-frame house in York County incorporates three bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen and living room on five levels. Sold after Haines’ death, the house was briefly an ice cream parlor before reverting to family ownership; today the house is a museum that honors the “Shoe Wizard.”

Ideal Palace of Ferdinand Cheval (Hauterives, France)
In 1879, French mail carrier Ferdinand Cheval began building a structure that was inspired by the shape of a stone he tripped over one day. Thirty-three years and many, many stones later, Cheval’s “Ideal Palace” was completed in Hauterives, France. Made of stones bound together with lime, mortar and cement, the palace is considered an extraordinary example of naïve art architecture.

Longaberger Co. (Newark, Ohio)
A tisket, a tasket, an office in … a basket? That’s a typical day for employees of the Longaberger Co., a maker of handcrafted baskets, pottery and ceramics, whose corporate headquarters resembles a giant picnic basket. Completed in 1997 after two years of construction, the seven-story building in Newark, Ohio, is a replica of the company’s medium market basket. It’s especially spectacular at night when light glows from the building’s 84 windows.

More the likely a Padron 2 or 3000 or a Fuente Chateu Maduro... 

Or a Connie #9 or any number of the about 1000 cigars I have in my two 68 qt Coolers and 1 100 qt.  It's a madness.
