Selling Off Saddam

If you’re in the market for infamous luxury products once owned by a cruel and murderous dictator, we’ve got the perfect sampling of items, well actually, Haitham Rashid Wihaib does. He was Saddam Hussein’s chief of protocol from 1980-1993 and is auctioning off gifts and personal possessions from his former boss:

Saddam Hussein’s possessions include his personal silver cigarette case that was given to him as a reward for killing his first man, his personal Rolex watch that was made for him on special order which is made of gold, diamonds and saphire, the pen that was used to sign the death warrants of 66 members of the Ba’ath Party, his personal prayer beads, the sunglasses he wore when on the desert front in the Iran-Iraq war and more.

But that’s not it, there’s more: Cartier pen, Holy Koran, Christian Dior ties, and even smokeables, including Saddam’s hookah and hash pipe. So bid away, and own the first brutal stoner’s kit in history.
