Popular Post Ryan Posted June 6, 2017 Popular Post Posted June 6, 2017 Nice video. Thanks for posting. I was in London that day, my first time in that shop in three years and unintentionally ended up in that video. That's me walking into the humidor 20 seconds in. 7

Smallclub Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Nice but I don't believe JJ Fox is the world oldest cigar seller: the tobacco shop “Á la Civette” in Paris was founded in 1716… 1
cigaraholic Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Wonderful video!! My first morning in London I went straight to JJ Fox and was so lucky to meet Phillip. He wouldn't even let me buy cigars until I came back from the pub he recommended, just an absolute wonderful man!
canadianbeaver Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Been to the JJ Fox store in Dublin and Civette Smallclub mentions in Paris. Such wonderful destinations to go when travelling. And both times, plus when in Amsterdam at LCDH, met up with friends made here on FOH! Incredible. CB
awk6898 Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Nice find. Will be on my list of places to visit if I ever make it back to the UKSent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 1

Fox London British Cigar Merchant Welcome Welcome to the oldest cigar merchants in the world. Purveyors of fine specialist cigars to European Royalty, Mr Churchill and our other distinguished customers for over 200 years. https://www.jjfox.co.uk/ 1
dflan82 Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Regardless if JJ Fox is the oldest cigar seller, it is a great spot to stop while in London. I just visited last week and enjoyed perusing through their humidor and cigar museum downstairs. I was short on time but grabbed a HdM Du Depute from 1995 to accompany me on my walk through the park to the hotel. Lovely little smoke! 1
Thomasdenaro Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 great little video thank you for sharing. i will definitely have to visit when im in London.
Habanos2000 Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 One of my proudest moments as a cigar aficionado is being able to say I purchased a cigar from the same store Churchill did.
rhcolbert Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Glad I got to go. Visited London right after the first bridge attach this year.
