The best cigar bars in London

The spots with the Capital's best cigars...

Every once in a while, a gentleman deserves to wind down. And where better to head a much-deserved moment of calm than one of London’s most luxurious cigar bars? We’ve rounded them up here for you – get smoking, gentlemen.

If you’re looking for luxury, you’re in luck. Everything about the stunning Wellesley Cigar Shop screams exclusive, so you’re going to want to be seen here. Not only does the cigar bar in this stunning establishment happen to be home to the largest humidor in Europe (which is rumoured to have cost £500,000), but it’s got a serious Marlon-Brando-The-Godfather feel. And with over £1.5 million worth of cigars inside this world-renowned humidor, where else would you want to spend an evening?

In the Garden Room at The Lanesborough, you’ll find one of the world’s finest collection of Cuban and pre-Castro cigars. Step inside its renowned walk-in humidor and you’re instantly surrounded by an overwhelming amount of luxury and some of the best Cognac from the bar’s extensive selection, where some date back to as the early 1770s.

There are few places as exclusive and well-known as The Ritz, so if you’re looking for an evening of luxurious exclusivity, this is your venue. Recently renovated, the Cigar Shop, Tasting Room and Smoking Terrace have all been designed with cigar-smoking in mind. With an impressive selection of cigars on offer, as well as a specially commissioned floor-to-ceiling walk-in humidor, the intimate setting is something that every gentleman deserves to experience.

As one of the world’s most respected cigar bars, The Cigar Shop and Sampling Lounge are, as you’d expect, out of this world. Often seen as the premier destination for cigar connoisseurs who have travelled to globe to get there, the selection of vintage and rare cigars on offer is truly incredible. Every effort has been made to ensure that each and every cigar is in prime condition, and it’s also home to true classics such as the Davidoff 80 Aniversario and a complete range of Cuban Davidoffs, too.
