James J. Fox

James J. Fox, at 19 St James's Street, is the oldest cigar merchant in the world, trading since 1787 and once Winston Churchill's tobacconist, complete with a small museum to its history.

On the first floor is its sampling lounge — the largest in the United Kingdom, seating up to 27 — where, under the specialist tobacconist exemption to the indoor smoking ban, guests can sit and enjoy a cigar from the UK's largest walk-in humidor.

Steeped in history and impeccably stocked, it is London's definitive cigar address.
