Wharf, London. “Ninety-five per cent of the 347 Lots were sold, most above estimate,” said managing director, Mitchell Orchant. “It was one of the largest cigar auctions in the world, to date.“There was also a lot of new faces among the 80 dedicated cigar aficionados who had flown in to London’s Docklands for a chance to stock up their humidors with some of the finest cigars in world.
