The best-selling Lots included a Partagas 70^th Anniversary humidor, which sold for £7,550 (EUR 8,772) and a Cohiba Majuestosos humidor which finally sold for £7,100 (EUR 8,250). There were bargains to be had as well, with boxes such as a Partagas Serie E No.2 from 2012 selling for £310 (EUR 360) – considerably less than a current production box, which retails for around £700 (EUR 813).

C.Gars Ltd auctions used to be conducted in person but have graduated to becoming an all online facility, currently offered three times a year. Since their inception, the auctions have become a key market place for collectors, investors and cigar lovers alike and millions of pounds worth of cigars have changed hands.
