We guarantee the highest quality and best value cigars in the UK! The majority of our Havana cigars are stamped EMS (English Market Selection) ensuring that they are of the highest possible quality. Cigars that are not stamped EMS have been quality control checked by our Directors. We store our cigars at the correct temperature and relative humidity, in our own purpose built walk-in-humidors constantly monitored by our Directors. This ensures the cigars reach our customers in optimum condition, matured and ready for smoking.

Please note that when we supply clients with Vintage and rare Havana cigars, they are sold on a "firm basis". As experts in the field of Vintage and rare Havanas we only sell the best examples of brand, vitola and vintage however these cigars are an "acquired taste" much like vintage wines and regrettably we cannot be held responsible if the flavour of a particular cigar does not suit the client. By ordering aged and rare Havanas you are deemed to accept these terms and conditions.

Please note that all transactions are charged in UK Pounds Sterling as we are a UK based merchant. Exchange rates shown are for indication purposes only and purchasers should check with their credit card issuer for the exchange rate that their issuer will apply.

There has been no such thing as a sealed box� in the UK for the last 25 years or so. The importers who are part owned by Habanos SA open and quality control every single box which is why our cigars are considered the best in the world. All our Havana cigars are quality checked for wrapper colour, overall condition, overall appearance and any signs of infestation before they are placed into our humidor as well as before they leave in the post to our clients.

This is not just a cursory check but a both layers of cigars check making it very unlikely that anything but an excellent box of Havanas is sold.

Our role as the leading UK accredited specialist in Havanas and the second oldest cigar merchant in the UK, is to do a quality control check for the client as well as select the desired shade of wrapper that the client will find aesthetically pleasing. Cuban wrapper does not contribute to flavour/taste just appearance

Please note that we cannot refund any postage and packing on returned items. Please also note that all returns are subject to a 10% restocking fee.
