Oh, for God's sake...... Yours for £300: a Sir Winston Churchill's cigar butt stubbed out in August 1941 | Mail Online
What the next step to make money ? Selling used toilet paper? On the other hand as long as some people will buy those so called "relics" you can't realy blame people to try to make money with it. Without potential buyers there wouldn't be such sales in the first place.
It depends; I gave up when my favourite King Edwards went up to £2 each. But a packet was still cheaper than the single Cuban Havanas I insisted on smoking too........
i wonder if i went down the shops & bought a king edward if i could sell it as a un-smoked winnie cigar ?? my point being how do'es anyone know this is genuine, i would have thought unless its been kept airtight that it would have crumbled away to nothing after all these years
Well Lou, it's probably the same people who put up Michael Jackson's burnt hair up for auction Strands of Michael Jackson's burnt hair expected to reach £1,000 at auction | News | NME.COM Seriously what's the purpose of owning someone's burnt hair and a cigar butt.. But then again.. it's all about the collectors. Some guy in ww2 never thought one day his belt buckle, old boots or war medal would ever be sold many years later for lots of money. it'a a collectors dream to own something unique and rare Although a ciger butt would be silly to own, but i'm pretty sure somebody is going to buy it.

Err..well as an aside....Queenie visited a mess in Portsmouth at one time amongst her many visits...All hell broke loose so the story goes when someone produced something queenie had passed and I dont mean passed by waving....Cigar butts can be on the lower end of what folk try to get hold of.
Talking about strange things...I recall when Wayne Rooney´s old house was torn down the fans took everything that could have been touched by the man, yes,including the toilet bowl!!!!
Suzie, your are correct; it's all about the collectors. I am not a collector, so none of those things is of interest to me. I'll look at and admire someone else's collection, but I have no desire to have one of my own. Nonetheless, I can understand medals, badges, uniforms, etc., but a cigar butt? I mean, come on.
maybe for DNA purposes... he may be cloned one day and return!! then he can smoke the rest of his cigar! welcome to the twilight zone Suzie
Another reason I'm against cloning. The winner of this auction might be interested in my ashtray full of Hitler. The cigarette butts come free with each paid win.
some mug bought it for £4500,if thats collecting, good luck.. Sir Winston Churchill's cigar stub sells for $8138 | News.com.au
