We receive many emails asking "Where can I smoke cigars in London and the UK?" So, as I "herf" across the country, I’ll update this page with cigar friendly locations as an easy reference. There are of course loads of other ‘COSA’s (comfortable outdoor smoking areas) but these are the ones that I enjoy going to.
You can of course sample cigars inside (where legal) at any of our cigars shops across the country including:
Alfie Turmeaus - London Mayfair
Robert Graham Ltd - London West Hampstead
Turmeaus - Liverpool
Turmeaus - Chester
Robert Graham Ltd - Cambridge
Turmeaus - Norfolk
