Churchill’s last cigar to be auctioned
November 18th, 2010 - 3:26 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Nov 18 (IANS) Britain’s wartime prime minister Winston Churchill’s last ever cigar is to be auctioned along with a crocodile-skin case.
Churchill was given the four-chamber Cartier pouch stamped with the initials WSC in 1934 by his wife Clementine, Daily Express reported Thursday.
He used the pouch all the time.
After his death in 1965, Clementine gave it to Churchill’s former bodyguard inspector Cyril Davies.
The cigar and case, along with three notes from Churchill to Davies, are expected to fetch 6,000 pounds when they are auctioned at Christie’s Nov 30.
