Davidoff of London

Excellent selection of cigars. Very knowledgable staff. Relatively expensive. Priced about the same as buying from a bar, although of course here there are many more to choose from.

Great selection of the best cigars Cuba can offer!
They have all the delicious Davidoff cigar lines as well as Cohiba, Partagas, Montecristos, Hoyo De Montereys and Bolivas! They also have a full line of accessories from cutters, lighters, pipes and walking canes. Conveniently located right off Piccadilly and by the famous Ritz of London hotel, it is a true gem where you can stop for a bit and relax in a city that is always fast paced and moving!

So, you’re strolling about London pretending to be Sherlock Holmes. You have the hat that you can snag in any souvenir shop, maybe even have a Watson tagging along as you are on your adventure. What more do you need? A classy pipe, that’s what!
Davidoff of London is the place to go for a sharp-​looking pipe, congratulatory cigars for that special occasion (or indulgence), or some hard-​to-​find U.S. cigarettes. Located just down the stretch of extra-​ritzy clubs and shops (seriously, I was playing «Count the Bentleys» and even saw a slightly unwashed Aston Martin), this place has the class to fit right in.

If you are a cigar lover, this must be on your list of places to go at least once in your life. The owner, Mr. Eduard Shahakian is the ultimate gentleman’s gentleman. His knowledge spans decades, and if you are fortunate enough to spend even five minutes with him, then you have done a thing. Wonderful, unbeatable selection and great prices for London. Do not miss!

I used to love coming in to Davidoff’s, just to have a Cuban cigar. They seem to have the best selection for cigar and cigarette lighters and cigar related products, and also Fox umbrellas. I bought once bought my first Dunhill lighter from here.

Poor quality service. Don’t stand behind their product. Poor attitude toward customers. I will buy elsewhere.

This is the place to go if you want to buy a cigar and require either a vast selection or expert advice (or both). If you need advice on choosing your cigar, be prepared to be peppered with questions by one of the charismatic owners (a father-​son team), only to be presented with a selection of cigars that will best suit your smoking requirments. And they are happy for you to come back and give some feedback on your smoking experience in order to further tailor their suggestions.

I had the great pleasure of stopping by the shop during the London Cigar Walk Qype event hosted by Cities In Sound. I’m not a cigar smoker, but it made no difference. Edward and Eddy, the father/​son team, who run the shop are incredibly charming and wonderful hosts. They explained all sorts of things about cigars and made everyone feel at ease. The scrummy Paul Roget champagne they served was a nice and welcome touch.

Okay. I think Davidoff is my top choice for stogie shopping in London. I say think because it’s a tough choice, as I learned on the Cities in Sound hosted Qype cigar walk:

But what gives Davidoff the slight edge is its accessibility. Shopping here is a breeze. Regardless of your budget and whether or not you’re a bona fide aficionado or a newbie who’s never puffed a cigar before, you’ll be treated right and steered correctly toward the best option for you taste, experience and price range. Just ask.
This St James’s institution (especially with its walk-​in humidor) is lovely and worth a gander even if you don’t smoke. Davidoff’s selection of cigars and tobacco products is second to none in Central London.

If you’re anything like me then you love the idea of a cheeky cigar every now and then. For those times there is only one place to go: Davidoff.
Edward and Eddy (a father and son team) run this unique tobacconist and it is well worth a visit. Ask for them by name to get a personal tour through their well stocked humidor. The service is beyond impressive. Not pretentious in any way Davidoff will help you find what you’re looking for.

I don’t like this shop because the staff is very rude. Especially the YOUNG STAFF who work there don’t know what the words thank you or please are, and they don’t even know how to give basic information on cigars. There are definetly better places to purchase cigars in London, where you’ll always leave the shops with a smile on your face. I will never go again to this shop.

Look up the word ‘refined’ in a dictionary and, most likely, you’ll find a picture of this place. Manned (or should that be gentlemanned?) by a crack team of elderly butler-​types, this wood-​panelled place sells primarily cigars and whisky, with accessories for both. I was there to buy a hip flask as a present and I sure was glad to be wearing a shirt and proper shoes, because I doubt I would have been allowed in my normal garb. As it was, I was greeted by a kindly ‘how can I be of service, sir?’ and then introduced to the extensive range of silver and leather receptacles for ‘uisce beaithe’. There is a special ‘humidor’ room where the best cigars are kept. The shop seems to bottle its own Scotch because I saw massive cases of different vintages, all from seperate areas of Scotland but with the same labels. None of them were under 15 years old, mind you.
