Offered to Roderick Bowen, QC, MP, during a luncheon party at 10 Downing street in December of 1954. The cigar sold at Sotheby?s in 1999, but due to the embargo placed on Cuba, it could not be exported until 17 years later. Housed in unaffiliated cigar box with Sotheby?s labels. Accompanied by signed LOA from Bowen, dated 1998, stating that he personally received the cigar from Churchill, along with a facsimile copy of the luncheon menu and documentation related to the 1999 sale.
