Last Cigarette Ever Smoked :-/
Although I have a plethora of Gawy-isms that urgently require posting, I was told about this auction whilst feeding the kittens who live in the park opposite my office and couldn't resist blogging it. I also located the corresponding NZ Herald article about it. Malt Bar is a few minutes walk away from my house.
Some of the best parts of the auction itself are the comments & questions, as is usually the case with the "headlining auctions" like the Virgin Mary in Cheese. Here are some favourites:
Wouldn't it be better to buy $7500 worth of ciggies then sell them down your local school for $1.50 each, making a big profit? posted by: allys (2 ) 11:42 am, Tue 12 Apr
I don't sell cigarettes to children. Instead, I create collectable pieces of New Zealand heritage for the future generations of this country to appreciate.

this auction is silly:)lol posted by: bailey20001 (105 ) 8:26 pm, Mon 11 Apr
On the contrary, this is a very serious auction with some very creditable people bidding and a heck of a lot of people interested in a Kiwiana collectable. So just you stick to selling girlie clothes and baby outfits and let others get on with building the heritage of this great nation by acquiring a piece of history which will last generations. Best wishes, A.

Sorry, the last cigarette officially smoked at Malt Restaurant and Bar was a Marlboro before the introduction of the smoke-free legislation on December 10, 2004. Perhaps your local tobacconist may be able to assist with the sale of Dunhill cigarettes. Cheers, A.
