19 St. James St, London SWIA IES
This is the oldest cigar shop in the U.K., going back over 200 years. Located just around the corner from Jerymn St., the hearth of London’s fashion district for men, it has a full selection of excellent cigars and pip tobaccos. One real treat is their museum where you can sit in a chair used by Winston Churchill when he would come by for a cigar, or you can view the order book where you find that Oscar Wilde never paid his bill or that Churchill gave an order for cigars for a relative (good cigars but not that good, after all, Winston did have to watch his funds). Upstairs you can enjoy a cigar (sorry, no cognac or hard liquor) and you are liable to meet some very interesting individuals. Visiting Fox is a step back in history that if fun and educational.
