1A St James Street reopens...

[Deano]

Good news if you ask me - 1A St James Street has reopened but as a 'Havana specialist', i.e. Cuban cigar centric.

Being headed up by Robert Emery too - he's well known in the industry and these forums!

Check out the cigar-venue porn:

Very smart! Looking forward to calling in and sampling something!

Looks great i am down there next Tuesday in pall mall at the IOD for an Austrian Wine Tasting so will have a wander round to it

That is one stunning looking shop

[Simon Bolivar]

Does look impressive. If there are going to have match sampling nights ie alcohol with cigars, will they allow you to drink in the sampling room normally? You can't in Boisdales Carnary Wharf, coffee, soft drinks only. Wardour St used to be just water, believe they have coffee there now.

Looks very nice!

Was that the place that used to have the white leather chairs? Been a long time since I visited.

[Deano]

Yeah Dave, looking a lot cooler now, and prefer the Cuban focus...

Looks great, I need to get a visit sorted down to the big smoke this year

[big bopper]

Are those personal humidor 'lockers'? Very slick!

[cigarmo]

Looks very nice indeed, being a northerner I have not visited any of these stores in the Capitol. Do they have a dress code or membership to use the sampling lounge?

[JoeyGunz]

Nope and they're very welcoming! I remember I'd been moving my Mrs' from Islington to Clapham, took a divert into JJ Fox in my moving gear which was a pair of old trainers, some baggy army shorts and a 10year old t-shirt and they welcomed me in for a cigar without even battering an eyelid!

Good to hear, MarkLondon and I are going to do a walk about in a few weeks time and I live in my jeans away from work.

[JoeyGunz]

Haha as do I, let me know when you guys are heading in and if I'm about I'll come find you for one!

I really like the look of those El Credito maduros on their site, anyone tried them?
