Best Cigar shop in London

[Drewmidorn]

You might consider going on one of nic wing's cigar walks, where the best are travelled to.

Including Sautters, JJ Foxes, Davidoff's.

Deano is right... the best thing you can do is go on the Cigar Walk, and Ideally one of the group walks where you will meet other cigar smokers and the gentleman genius that is Nic Wing.

How about a special discount for UKCF members Eddie, and let us know about upcoming events instore?

With a very biased point of view I would say Davidoff (corner of St James's and Jermyn street). Please ask for me (Eddie) as I work there...

Did you know

davidoff.com does let you view in the UK?

Does your store have a web address?

Hi Eddie.

Will share with you my first and only experience with your fantastic looking shop. Went in, got stared at by all the staff, took a walk around the humi and was followed like a thief, left and have never been back.

I'm sure not everyone gets such treatment but it certainly alienated me. walked down to JJF and have been a customer ever since.

I will pop in and see you soon Eddie and see if things can be recified

Tbh I've had similar in JJ's. I think it just depends on who's working.

I get it everywhere I go... I have to take responsibility though because I look like an untrustworthy shoplifter/tramp!

Although you are right when I started going into JJs and Davidoff it was bad, and now when they see me I imagine they just think "Ah. Bless".

I'd like to propose the tobacconist in West Croydon opposite Jessops, if Croydon is considered a london address. Not for the cigar range which is small, expensive and in terrible condition, but the man who serves you; An amazing bearded troll like creature invariably bleeding from nose or forehead with a bizarre and "off the wall" line in sales patter. you don't get that in Davidoffs or indeed Asda.

Sounds like the Brighton store, which I believe now only sells tubos.

[Burner]

There is a shop in bond st in Brighton walk in humi and all that not very welcoming I bought some pipe tobacco and scarpered

Very 'League of Gentlemen' I'm tempted to go just for a gawp!

Have to echo Monkeys words im afraid...

My experiences at Davidoffs have not been good ones...!!!

JJ Foxs, I like, friendly staff, cigars in all honesty could be kept better but with the edition of the smoking room it's a good experience...

If we are going slightly out of the centre of London then im afraid there is only one winner for me...

Yep you guessed it, La Casa in teddington...

Absolutely bloody superb, end of...

Cheers, HabanoSy

Wonder if Robusto has the same problem??

[Pantomimehorse]

I have to agree with Monkey here, Ive had near on the exact same experience

I've only ever visited JJ Fox and Davidoff in London and thought the staff in both were very helpful and friendly.

Maybe like someone else said, maybe it depends on who you happen to get serving you???
