A visit to the cigar sampling lounge at Astoria Cigars in Margate, Kent
If you are a regular follower of my website, you will know that I like to visit many different cigar bars, terraces and smoking lounges in London and beyond, and I like to review them afterwards. Recently I came across a cigar venue just outside of London in the small seaside town of Margate, Kent, in the South […]
Lighting a Trident Military cigar to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!
For a little while, I’ve been wondering what cigar to smoke to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. At first I was going to get my hands on another Exclusivo Gran Bretaña cigar from the big Cuban cigar brands, I smoked one of those recently during my visit to The Stafford Hotel, London. Instead I thought […]
I finally smoked a Cohiba Behike cigar!
I have wanted to get my hands on a Cohiba Behike cigar for a long time, deemed one of THE BEST CUBAN CIGARS. The task seemed almost impossible due to the cigar’s rarity and lack of availability. I was also expecting to break the bank by purchasing such a cigar ‘if’ I ever tried one […]
Smoking cigars outside Francos, London
I first heard about Franco’s about ten years ago on a London Cuban Cigar Walk with Nic Wing, where he took us around the many different cigar stores in the city. We were in Davidoff’s, and he pointed to Franco’s, telling us to enjoy a cigar there at some point. A couple of years later, […]
Cigars and cocktails at The Ritz, London
I have wanted to visit The Ritz, London to smoke a cigar in their luxury cigar shop and sampling Lounge for quite some time, located on the ground floor of the iconic Piccadilly grande dame hotel. I usually walk past it on the way to Green Park tube station, usually after a stroll around the many […]
Lunch, cigars and whisky in the courtyard at The Stafford, London

Making reservations seemed pretty straightforward on the hotel’s website. It’s simply a case of selecting ‘ Book a table’, […]
Smoking Cuban cigars at CGars, St James, London
Now that the days are getting warmer and sunnier again, it felt like the perfect time to venture into central London and visit a couple of cigar venues. I aim to visit every cigar venue across London (then beyond; that would be the dream!). I’m not sure how much that will put me out of […]
Boisdale’s cigar terrace at Canary Wharf
At the start of the year, you may have seen me post about the Cigar Club LDN event that I attended at Boisdales in Canary Wharf, London. Well, that night, I didn’t get the chance to visit the Boisdale’s walk-in cigar humidor, as it was so goddamn busy! A month later, I found myself back there. This time […]
Cigar Club LDN Anniversary Party at Boisdales, Canary Wharf
Last month whilst I was reflecting on 2021 and looking forward to 2022, I made the following statement: “If 2021 was all about getting a better understanding of what cigars are out there, I’d love 2022 to be the year where I finally meet some of the cigar community in real life.” A quote from […]
Cigars and whisky experience at Arc Le Salon in Mayfair, London
If you are a regular follower of this blog, you will know that I am keen to try and visit as many cigar bars, terraces and smoking lounges across London and beyond. As I do, I hope I can document each experience and hopefully, this is of some use to others. So, it’s a brand new year, […]
