Published 2017-06-05
Take a look inside the world’s oldest cigar merchants - and one of the last remaining public places in the United Kingdom where people can still smoke inside. Cigar merchants James J. Fox, based in London’s upmarket Mayfair region first opened its doors in 1881 in Dublin, before moving to London in 1947. The tobacconist has received eight Royal Warrants over time, with the last being issued by the Queen Mother in 1997 and they still continue to supply cigars to the royal household.

I met this owner at a pub nearby. We exchanged pleasantries and I purchased him a round or two. He then said he had a cigar store nearby and offered to show us it. We walked over and he showed us around and during the visit gave me several Cubans which were fantastic. A real gentleman and most generous.
