The iconic Davidoff of London, a longstanding fixture on St. James’s Street, may soon be embarking on a new chapter. Unconfirmed rumours suggest that The Crown Estate, which owns the building as part of a major restoration project, plans to empty the property for an extended period. As a result, Davidoff is unlikely to remain at its current location, sparking speculation about a potential move.

The shop, operated by the Sahakian family since its founding in 1980, has become a beloved institution in the heart of Mayfair. Under the stewardship of Edward and Eddie Sahakian, Davidoff of London has established a reputation for its high-quality selection of premium cigars, personalized service, and the intimate, welcoming atmosphere that cigar enthusiasts have come to cherish. For decades, the Sahakians have cultivated a world-class destination for cigar aficionados, offering both expert knowledge and a warm environment steeped in tradition.

While details remain scarce, sources indicate that any relocation would likely keep the celebrated brand within close proximity to its traditional home in Mayfair, allowing it to maintain its established clientele and historic connections to the area. Some insiders have hinted at the exciting possibility of a new sampling lounge in the new space, creating a unique experience for cigar aficionados – in time for their 45th anniversary.

No official announcement has been made, and there is no definitive timeline yet, but fans and followers of Davidoff of London are keeping a close eye on developments. For now, the brand’s potential move remains a tantalising whisper among London’s cigar scene.
