The Nov. 21st Mirror.co.uk had an article "Cigar Winston Churchill chomped planning D-Day uncovered after 60 years,"
Christian Williams, 33, was given a cigar when he was 12 by his grandfather Ronald Williams, who acted as Winston Churchill's butler at the 1943 Casablanca Conference where D-Day was planned.
Since then, Christian has always kept it in a safe place, only taking it out on special occasions. His grandfather also kept Churchill's name plate from the conference.
Churchill smoked ten cigars a day, always leaving the last couple inches. His gardener would take the cigars and break them up so he could smoke them in his pipe.
Definitely the Kind Of History That Interests Me. --DaCoot
