James J Fox

James J Fox We have been trading in fine to***co and smokers' accessories from 19 St James's Street since 1787
(608)

Our world famous to***co business started with Robert Lewis, who began trading fine to***co in St James's Street in 1787. James J Fox was formed in Dublin in 1881 and opened its first to***co shop in London in 1947. Fox acquired the business of Robert Lewis on 14 September 1992, uniting two of the most respected names in the cigar world. Both companies now trade as JJ Fox (St James's) Ltd and run

the cigar departments of Harrods and Selfridges. The shop on St James's street is managed by Mrs Jean Clark who, in 1999, was the first recipient of the Cuban cigar industry's prestigious annual Silver Chaveta award (the design of which was based on the famous Havana cigar maker's knife) as the “UK's top specialist in Havanas'. We are also among the very few shops to be exempt from the smoking ban. It is therefore possible to enjoy your purchase in our shop at St James's Street as a sample with the view to buy more if you wish.

A great summer evening with ci**rs and Mezcal was the setting at James J. Fox for an event on the Blackened’s Rock & Smoke Tour. To a full house of guests (even though England were playing DR Congo at the same time) we were delighted to welcome Rob Dietrich, Master Blender of Blackened Ci**rs and Whisky, and Drew Estate representatives Ricardo Ortiz and David Cruz. We sampled two ci**rs – Shade S84 Corona and Maduro M81 Robusto, with a special yet-to-be-released Blackened Maduro Lancero gifted to guests on the evening.

Joining us from Amber Bev, providing the expertise on Se Busca Mezcal was Renato Di Rosa and Adam Wyatt. An expertly created mezcal negroni with glasses of the Joven, Anejo and the distinctive Madrecuishe were paired with the ci**rs.

It was particularly pleasing to welcome many first-time attendees to a James J. Fox event. We extend our thanks to all who joined us and contributed to the great atmosphere on the evening. Thank you to Tor Imports, especially Alfonso Scherzi, for their support on the evening and congratulations to Drew Estate and Tor for a great UK cigar tour.

We were delighted to welcome back the legendary Dawn Davies MW to James J. Fox for an unforgettable Ci**rs & Cognac pairing. Joined by David Felice, also from The Whisky Exchange guests were treated to a fascinating and flavourful journey through the world of Cognac.

Two exceptional ci**rs — Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Rothschild & Partagas Short — paired beautifully with six distinct Cognacs, creating a truly immersive tasting experience. The medium-bodied Fuente complemented lighter, fruit-forward Cognacs, while the bold, spice-led Partagas matched perfectly with richer, woody profiles of cognacs.

An incredible evening all around 🥃✨

And there’s more to come from The Whisky Exchange as they present The Cognac Show at Glaziers Hall London on 17th & 18th April — bringing together connoisseurs and curious minds alike to explore the very best of Cognac, alongside Calvados and Armagnac producers.

We enjoyed a great night on St James’s pairing a Rocky Patel Emerald Toro with three whiskies from Ardnahoe. The cigar is box-pressed, rolled with a blend which is considerably medium-bodied. Not too much in terms of pepper and spice, but more dark chocolate and earth in the first half of the cigar, but as it burns down, the pepper becomes more apparent without becoming too domineering.

Our friends Mike and Duncan from Honest to a Malt podcast joined us on behalf of Ardnahoe to talk about the Whisky on the evening. While definitively Islay, the three different drams each produced a distinct flavour due to the casks having a heavy influence on the taste of the whisky. We enjoyed the Infinite Loch, the sherry cask matured Bholsa, and their Cask Strength aged five years. Thank you to Phil Matthews from Brightleaf Distribution, Duncan and Mike for their informative insigts into the cigar, whisky and their respective brands. Thank you to our guests for joining us once again and indulging all of us in great conversations and questions on the evening.

A wonderful night of ci**rs, whisky and conversations flowed through the evening of Friday 6th March, as we welcomed the UK Aficionadas to host an event at James J. Fox. With the event coinciding with the UK Aficionadas first anniversary and International Women’s Day, we were delighted to welcome the ladies in their group and to industry guests who have supported them during the first year. An amazing group of women and men, all in support of appreciating and endorsing the women of the UK cigar industry.

It was a pleasure to have our director, Bogusha, St James’s Store Manager, Tazminah and eCommerece manager, Keira, join the evening, providing guests who don’t know them to meet three major influences to our business at James J. Fox. Thank you too all who were able to join us and make this a greatly memorable evening. Thank you to Isabel Alamo-Gomez for presenting guests The Dalmore and to Ken Silverio for presenting Casa Carrillo ci**rs We would also like to thank Her Excellency Rosa Hernandez de Grullon and Carlos Espaillat from the Dominican Republic Embassy to the UK for joining us
