Fri Apr 13 2012

Where will you find this city’s most interesting cigar emporium? Mayfair? The City? The clubland of St James’s, perhaps? Stokey locals know the answer, for it’s to be found down their way. This specialist has top-quality cigars, smoking paraphernalia and collectibles – as well as singing and percussion lessons for those who fancy it – and on sunny days this shop’s friendly proprietor can be found playing the bongos by the front door while sipping a glass of rum.

This place is now closed down - and I'm pretty sure the cigars he was selling were counterfeit.

Amazing place - unlike anything else in London, when I was there they started an impromptu Latin music jam session in the middle of the shop. Highly recommended.

A very unique little shop with a lot of character. The owner is a really sound guy and quite often you'll find him there listening to Cuban music and playing cards or dominoes with other Cuban expats, and if you visit you'll get chatting to them yourself. There needs to be more places like this in London!!

Looks like a junk shop. Spotted some cigars buried in there but mainly miscellaneous bits and bobs.

I heard he was moving to Liverpool Street. Ok cigars but very intimiating as music pumping out the door and often all sorts of rubbish? clogging up the front and a bike for sale in the doorway. Not sure what he's trying to sell.
