London Cigars

A trip to London cannot be complete without a visit to one of the finer cigar stores like J.J. Fox or H. Upmann or Davidoff. The experience is rich enough. Unlike any experience in USA (at least in my experience). The clerks offer an expertise that is unmatched. You may have to put up with a little arrogance, but after pushing through that you will undoubtedly have a great experience. My most recent visit offered an excellent experience. I went to Davidoff on James St.. I was not left to wander through the Humidor on my own, but was escorted by a young clerk. I explained exactly what I was looking for: 4 cigars, that I could not get in USA, of moderate cost and a medium smoke. I was intending to smoke one ( & share one) that day and smoke another one several days later. He led me past the popular Cohiba rack to the other shelves. He carefully let me look at and choose 4 cigars. After I chose the 2 brands he went back and selected 4 quality singles and wrapped them accordingly. I will say, I might have been a bit skeptical about his selections. But they ended up being the 2 best smokes I've ever had.
