Online vintage cigar auction under way

Cigar aficionados are now bidding in C.Gars’ online vintage cigar auction, which is due to end on February 1.

The auction includes 270 lots of vintage, mature and limited-edition Cuban and Dominican cigars and is expected to realize more than £300,000.

‘In 2014, 1,000 boxes of vintage cigars were auctioned by us, online and offline, achieving a 99.5 percent auction sales rate that is almost as rare as some of the cigars that were sold,’ said managing director Mitchell Orchant.

‘Our current auction, the UK’s first for 2015, includes some of the rarest and most magnificent pre-Embargo Havanas we have ever had the privilege of offering.

‘There is particular interest in the cabinet of 100 pre-Embargo Romeo y Julieta Coronations Deluxe (estimated £10,000-£12,000), and the box of 100 pre-Embargo Punch Double Coronas (estimated £9,000-£12,000).’
