December 1 cigar auction set to break records

C.Gars says that its winter 2014 cigar auction looks set to break records at Boisdale Belgravia, London, UK, on December 1.
“There is huge interest from cigar aficionados around the world, many of whom will be attending, and we anticipate total bids of over £300,000 for the first time,” said managing director, Mitchell Orchant.
“No other auction on the planet has such a large and wide variety of rare, vintage and aged cigars. Currently there are 350 lots and bids are expected to range from £40 to £30,000 – the latter the highest bid at any of our auctions.
“The global market for collectible cigars has grown steadily since we first started auctioning them in 2009. Some of the cigars that went under the hammer five years ago have since doubled in value.”
Lot 317, described as a Cubatabaco 1492 humidor containing 50 cigars is expected to fetch between £24,000 and £30,000.
