Vintage Cigars

Christie's was the first auction house to hold sales devoted exclusively to cigars, ranging from rare pre-embargoed boxes from the turn of the 20th century to vintage cigars from the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Of particular interest are Cuban cigars from both Davidoff and Dunhill. Humidors feature regularly in the sales, as do more affordable Cubans for immediate use.
