丘吉爾抽剩的半支雪茄以1.2萬美元售出
A cigar once smoked by former British prime minister Winston Churchill has sold for $12,000, according to the Boston-based RR auction house.
總部位於美國波士頓的RR拍賣行表示，英國前首相溫斯頓·丘吉爾曾抽過的一支雪茄近日被以1.2萬美元的價格售出。Churchill partially smoked the 10cm cigar at the Le Bourget Airport in Paris on May 11, 1947.
1947年5月11日，丘吉爾曾在巴黎的布爾歇機場吸食了這支10釐米長的雪茄的一部分。The Cuban cigar features a red-and-gold La Corona label alongside the wartime leader's full name.
該古巴雪茄上印有紅色和金色的拉科羅納商標，旁邊還有這位戰時領袖的全名。
The half-smoked cigar was kept by a British airman who flew Churchill and his wife to and from Paris.
當年，丘吉爾抽了一半的這支雪茄被送丘吉爾及其夫人往返巴黎的飛行員所收藏。It was sold to a collector in Palm Beach, Florida in the US. The buyer's name was not released.
該雪茄被賣給了美國佛羅里達州棕櫚灘的一位收藏家。這名買家的姓名並未對外公佈。Bobby Livingston, executive vice president at RR Auction, called the item "a synonymous piece from Churchill's trademark look".
RR拍賣行的執行副總裁博比·利文斯通稱該物品爲“丘吉爾標誌性造型的代名詞”。In 2015, a chewed up Churchill cigar butt was sold for 2,000 pounds at a British auction house.
2015年，丘吉爾抽剩的一個雪茄煙頭在英國一家拍賣行以2000英鎊的價格出售。
