We were two of 55 designated sampling evenings across the UK celebrating Trinidad 55 on the evening of Friday 21st June. We held our events at our James J Fox Flagship 19 St James's Street and La Casa Del Habano James J Fox in Harrods. We had three pairings: two at St James's and one at our LCDH. James J...

Trinidad, it would be fair to say, is a Habanos brand loved by most. If it is not their No.1 brand, it is highly likely to be in their “Top 3”. Consistency is the key for Trinidad; blends, vitolas, timing of releases, discontinuations, it has all added to the allure of one of Habanos’s most famed brands. Despite not having...

We are delighted to announce that our much-loved Churchill’s Birthday Cigar Evening will be taking place on Thursday, November 30th, at our St. James’s flagship shop, located at 19 St. James’s Street. This event has become a cherished tradition for us, as we come together to celebrate the enduring legacy of one of our shop’s most esteemed patrons, Sir Winston...

The Churchill has a slightly milder flavour than the Robusto and Cañonazo, despite being the same blend of tobacco. This is because of the narrower ring gauge, meaning less tobacco burning, which ultimately means less smoke. With that said, we still consider this a medium-to-full bodied cigar. The Churchill starts quite medium bodied, less intense than the Robusto and Cañonazo...
