Inside The Edward Sahakian Cigar Lounge At The Bvlgari Hotel London

[El Presidente]

My colleague Paul Toner and I are trying out the cigars – I’ve always liked how the act of smoking one can take you out of the humdrum. Cigars are such beautifully handcrafted objects. There’s a ceremony to smoking a cigar and an undeniable old-world glamour to it.

We are in good hands. King is unfazed by our novice status and takes us to the humidor room, where we stare at what look like rows of chocolate logs in cabinets. There are cigars here to suit every taste and every wallet: the most expensive, a Cohiba Majestuosos, costs £3,000.

I've only been there once, but I love that place and it certainly oozes with Old World style.
