Churchill smokes a lot of cigars in his life. The fact is right, the total number of his life has far exceeded the standard quantity of ordinary people. The detailed record is that when Fox started selling cigars in 1787, Churchill became a frequent customer of the store. Until now, the store still retains the sofa that Churchill often sat on at that time. From the bills kept by the store, we can see that in the six months of 1964, that is, the first half of his death, he purchased 825 pieces from this store alone. On average, it is 5 boxes per month, which is just a voucher for one of the cigar stores.

964 For six consecutive months, the year before Churchill's death, he bought 825 cigars from the cigar shop: 250 in April, 275 in June, and 100 in July, August, and September. 825 cigars per month, calculated based on a box of 25 cigars, it is about 33 boxes, 5 boxes per month, and 4.5 cigars are smoked every day. In calculations, it is somewhat inconsistent with his report on more than ten cigars every day, but this is just Churchill’s consumption record at a cigar shop.

1930, Churchill went to the United States on a trip, and records showed that he bought 1,000 of the same cigars at one time, which cost only $147, each cigar was less than 15 cents.

Any occasion to smoke cigars. This is indeed the case, and there are pictures to prove it. He visited New York in 1931. At that time, he forgot that he drove on the right side of the United States, which caused him to be hit. When he returned to the UK after the visit, he was carried on a stretcher and placed in an ambulance. This photo was left at that time. He smiled happily because he had a cigar in his hand. In fact, this was more than once, smoking a cigar on a stretcher, and it happened many times.

He had huge inventory during his lifetime, and the facts were unimaginable. Because he was a great politician and orator, he didn't go home a lot, so there was a stock of cigars at every break. For example, his home is located in Kent, where there are nearly 4,000 pieces. In other words, there are 160 boxes of cigars in stock, which is just the inventory of his home. Such a quantity is probably unimaginable.

There were not many cigars left after his death, and the fact is that most of them have been smoked by him. After his death, some wealthy people and some large auction companies found his family and persuaded Mr. Churchill to pass through their hands to maximize the value. Some cigars wanted to collect his cigars, but their families searched everywhere and found that there were very few cigars, which were a little pitiful. Because the quantity was not enough to support an auction, there was no large-scale auction. From this incident, he usually bought cigars not for collection, but for enjoying them.
