Our summer cigar auction was held on a very sunny and warm evening at Boisdale Canary Wharf and a great evening was had by all !

Starting off with a whisky tasting hosted by Ron Morrison of Robert Graham Ltd and featuring 5 of our range of award winning single malt whiskies. These were matched up with some splendid English Market Selection Juan Lopez seleccion no.1, San Cristobal La Fuerza and Punch Punch

Brian Ebbesen conducted the auction to a jam packed cigar terrace of over 80  cigar aficionado’s, connoisseurs and collectors. Despite the venue being noisier than our usual Boisdale Belgravia auction venue Brian managed to hear all of the bids and knock down all but 16 of the 259 Lots entered in the sale. 94% sale rate was a very satisfactory result.

A good range of limited editions, pre embargo. mature, Davidoff and Dunhill cigars were offered and clearly some prices were great value whilst others were higher than expected

Dinner followed with  fabulous music by Manolo and the Gypsies. The food and service at Boisdale was top notch as always.

We also launched the superb Fuente brand of cigars in the UK at the dinner following the auction and were delighted to welcome Josh and Jeremiah Meerapfel to our event.

Josh took apart an Opus X double corona (!) demonstrating that 10 leaves made up the filler of this delicious cigar. Guest were all treated to an Opus X DC on the cigar terrace after the dinner.

These winning bids are being brought to you live as the auction happens but please treat them as preliminary and subject to final verification (E&OE)
