C.Gars Ltd sells box of rare Beatles cigars and ignites fans

Mitchell Orchant, London-based founder and managing director of C.Gars Ltd has just sold a shadow box containing 25 very rare Beatles cigars for £600, and lit up the Fab Four's global fan-base. 'I recently picked up this exceptional framed presentation box from an antiques collector and there was immediate and huge interest from The Beatles fans around the world,' said Orchant, managing director, C.Gars Ltd.

'The cigars were presented to Charles Berman for his work on The Beatles' second movie, HELP!, which premiered in London on July 29th 1965.'

Berman, senior vice president of United Artists Europe and marketing chief of the Bond and Beatles films was only one of six VIPs to be honoured with 25 Cedros paid for by NEMS and Northern Songs.

'The cigars were presented to Mr Berman at the movie's wrap party held at the BOAC VIP dinner, attended by the film's cast and crew,' said Orchant. 'This is believed to be the last surviving presentation cabinet of those cigars. Single Beatles cigar examples are also known to have survived, but they're as rare as hen's teeth.

'The other executives attending the wrap party were given Beatles' flight bags but, alas, no cigars.'
