James J. Fox has announced details of its new cigar range, Selección, which will be sold exclusively in the UK and Ireland.

The range will be launched at the company’s store at 19 St James’s Street in London on 25 June, before becoming available there and at Selfridges. It will then be introduced in Ireland at an event in Dublin on 1 July.

The Selección is being released in three sizes:

Name	Vitola de galera	Dimensions
Selección No. 7	Duke	5 ½” x 54 ring gauge
Selección No. 4	Corona Gorda	5 5/8” x 46
Selección No. 1	Petit Robusto	4” x 50

All three use traditional cigar formats, each one a classic vitola, well loved by cigar smokers.

James J. Fox Selección is a natural continuation of the Fox House Blend. Building on its success and following the same guiding principles, the intention behind the range was to create a cigar with a new blend and presentation while preserving the focus on flavour and commitment to quality that made the House Blend so popular.

Teams in London and Ireland were heavily involved in selecting both the vitolas and the blend.

After several tasting sessions and extensive back-and-forth, a blend was finally agreed upon unanimously.

The historically evocative phrase “specially selected by James J. Fox London & Dublin” stamped on every box reflects the collaborative effort behind the range.

The box design pays tribute to the tradition of developing bespoke lines in partnership with some of the most prestigious Cuban cigar houses. Brands such as Partagás, Punch, Romeo y Julieta, Por Larrañaga, and others have created cigars and ranges exclusively for James J. Fox. This tradition dates back to the 19th century and continued until the 1980s.

Inspired by the original presentation of these Cuban boxes, the Selección series is housed in slide-lid boxes, finished with a yellow ribbon placed across the top row of cigars and secured to the short side of the box with a dress stud. Each box is stamped “Specially selected by James J. Fox London and Dublin.”

The boxes also feature a seal reminiscent of the Cuban warranty seals first introduced on Havana cigars in 1889. In the Fox Selección version, the seal is decorated with the façades of the two flagship stores at 19 St James’s Street and 119 Grafton Street.

Each box additionally contains a vitola leaflet explaining the story of the James J. Fox Selección. It is printed in English, Irish, and Spanish, reflecting the collaborative nature of the project.

All cigars are long-filler and handmade at the Danlí Cigar Factory in Honduras, overseen by master blender Hamlet Paredes, and rolled using carefully selected Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos.

The London launch will take place at the St James’s Street flagship store on 25 June, with full details available via the official invitation page (view London launch event).

The Irish introduction will follow on 1 July in Dublin, with tickets and event information available via the official store listing (view Dublin launch event).
