November 13, 2013. The Spectator Cigar smoker of the Year Dinner, founded by Boisdale, will be held at Boisdale Canary Wharf on 19th November 2013. Accompanied by some of the most highly regarded vintage wines and spirits, the inaugural event will celebrate the culture and heritage of cigars over a banquet and vintage cigar auction.
The evening will recognize various aspects of the cigar world, with awards categories including cigar producers, retailers, cigar terraces and writers, culminating in The Spectator Cigar Smoker of the Year. The celebrity winner will receive a humidor of rare cigars as well as a Jeanrichard wristwatch with a value of £15,000.
On the night, Boisdale will play host to one of the greatest cigar auctions ever seen. Specialist cigar merchant Mitchell Orchant of C.Gars Ltd has sourced an unrivalled selection of pre-embargo Havanas, Limited Edition Cubans, some Davidoff and Dunhill cigars, as well as a vast number of collectible Habanos humidors. Lots will go under the hammer at 5pm with international cigar collectors able to follow and place bids in person or online at www.cgarsltd.co.uk.
Following the auction, guests will begin the dinner on Boisdale's covered terrace. Boisdale owner and cigar connoisseur Ranald Macdonald comments, "Combining a vintage cigar auction of unmatched size with the crowning of a true cigar-smoking icon will be a world first for the the cigar world. I have been determined to curate an event of this kind for some time and I an thrilled to see it take shape."
