Historic Havanas

The Freddie Fox Room holds a number of rare and historic cigars which we have collected over the years.

Luis Marx
We hold possibly the last existing box of this brand, dating from 1898. This box displays the original Cuban Guarantee Seal. Today's seal has remained unchanged since 1914. Luis Marx devised the system, still used today, of covering the wrapper leaf fields with muslin sheets to protect the delicate leaves from the strong Cuban sunlight.
	Henry Clay The original Havana version of the brand, from the 1950's.

Romeo y Julieta - 'H.G. The Earl of Lonsdale' This box were specially made for the Earl of Lonsdale, who gave his name to this size of cigar.

	La Cabanas, Glass Cabinet This is reputed to be the oldest box of Havana Cigars in existence, having been made for the Great Exhibition of 1851. England did not have any Havana cigars until 1830 and La Cabanas was one of original brands to reach these shores.

Don Joaquin This box was formerly the property of Sir Winston Churchill.

Romeo y Julieta Torpedos

Again, formerly belonging to Sir Winston
