Winston Churchill’s Favorite Cuban Cigars Up For Auction
After nearly 60 years since its creation, an exclusive box of 1950s Romeo y Julieta Piramides Cuban cigars will be available for purchase on June 21st. C. Gars Ltd’s second vintage cigar auction – hosted by the Boisdale Belgravia in London – will feature, amongst other, this rarity cherished by the legendary Winston Churchill.
As a result of an iconic image displaying Mr. Churchill giving the two-victory sign with a cigar in his mouth, the Romeo y Julieta Piramides cigars became a part of his pugnacious aura. After nearly 60 years of preservation, the cigars are expected to receive, “significant bids from both sides of the Atlantic from aficionados who’d love to taste Churchill’s favorite cigar”, said C. Gars Managing Director Mitchell Orchant.
C. Gars Ltd. – highly regarded as the leader of cigars – held their first auction in December 2009, with resounding success. Although there has not been a price estimation release for the Romeo y Julieta Piramides, the noteworthy prices from the December auction ranged from £1450 to £16,000.
