Just think how much just one intact box would be worth today?

I like to think that Winston probably churned through it in a couple of weeks.

Great piece Ken, seems to suggest he was 'showered' with gifts of cigars. Maybe he got a 500 humi of every brand going.  Imagine getting an ocean liner cruise or private plane back the the UK,  and you can barely get into your cabin for personalised giant humidors.    What an existence.  truly off the scale.

PSP/HQ or PE ? What’s your guess ?

During that era in politics you'd happily settle for non poisoned.

I remember doing a job for Churchills grandson years ago in Pimlico.  He confessed to me.  "Wherever I go I'm given cigars, and I don't even smoke". The apartment was full of unopened 3packs etc  I remember thinking "I hate you".
