Product Number: [RG1487] "A great trans-atlantic read - I couldnt put it down" Ron Morrison, Director of Robert Graham During the Second World War, Churchills cigar was such an important beacon of resistance that MI5, together with the nations top scientists, tested the Prime Ministers supplies on mice rather than risk sabotage. Today, Winston Churchill with his cigar remains a global icon memorialized by a one-hundred and one foot statue of a cigar in Australia, while his cigar stubs are treasured as relics. Using original archival research and exclusive interviews with Churchills family and staff, Stephen McGinty, an award winining journalist, explores Churchills passion for cigars and the solace they brought. He also examines Churchills lasting friendship with Antonio Giraudier, the Cuban businesman who for twenty years stocked Churchills humidor before fleeing Castros revolution. Churchills Cigar is a charming story of a love affair that daily went up in smoke £12.99
