Winston Churchill cigar sells for £4k
A CIGAR that Sir Winston Churchill left unfinished in 1941 fetched £4,500 at a sale.
Auctioneers Keys, of Aylsham, Norfolk, said Sir Winston abandoned the stub to attend a Cabinet meeting.
It was picked up by a Downing Street valet, who sent it to a friend with a note jotted on Number 10 writing paper, said staff.
