    This isn’t a shop. This is a museum.

      As a bourbon drinker, museum tends to have a negative connotation. It usually means a store who has priced their bottles so out of the market, no one in their right mind would buy them.

      @@GamerNxUSN, thanks for enlightening me. I didn’t know about that part. I’ll avoid that analogy in the future.
      But I’m sure you caught my context, which is in the sense that the Sahakian place is just a sanctuary full of valuable, rare, precious items. They do have things that Sir Zino himself has touched ; and Zino has visited the place. As an aficionado, enjoying a cigar in that place, or one from that place, that adds a little something to the experience. Imagine that. Adjust to that, the staff gives you royal treatment.
      Once again, thanks for the precision.

    I paid a visit to the shop and had the pleasure of meeting Edward Sr just last Wednesday on a trip to London and I can't thank him enough for his genuine welcome and hospitality once I'd introduced myself as a UA-cam subscriber.
    Due to time constraints and the fact that I was accompanied by my 14yo daughter who obviously has no interest in the place, I didn't have the opportunity to have a good look around but I did walk away with a Davidoff No2 to smoke on a special occasion and look forward to a return visit in the near future as I have my eye on a Dupont Defi lighter and hope to meet Eddie Jr next time.
    Thankyou to the Sahakians for being emissaries of class and sophistication in these times when such attributes are a vanishingly small commodity.

    I was able to visit the shop last year and even had the chance to engage in a small chat with Edward. It was a great visit. I wasn't dressed the best (tourist attire) and only had a small budget to get a handful of cigars but I was treated like a king. I can't wait to get back and hopefully get to meed Eddie too. Shopping there is an experience unlike any other.

    I visited the shop last week with my dog, having come all the way from Australia. Both Eddie and Edward welcomed both of us amazingly. Both took the time to talk to me and I can honestly say it was a true highlight of my trip to be there. I asked each for a cigar recommendation and was not disappointed.
    Not just a visit to a shop, but a full on beautiful experience that I will truly remember forever.

He also purchased some no 2’s. We just smoked them together a few nights ago. Amazing cigar. Love your videos. Hope to visit some day

    I wandered into Davidoff of London earlier this year. Despite the fact that I didn't wish to purchase anything, the team were gracious and welcoming. The staff encouraged me to spend some time browsing but never pressured me to buy any products. I was given a tour of the shop and their famous humidor, and had a nice conversation with one of the attendants. I found Mr. Sahakian (Snr.) on the front step enjoying a cigar despite the London rain. He kindly stopped for a chat and indulged me by posing for some photos.
    Davidoff of London is a lovely stalwart of hospitality and civility. I congratulate the Sahakians on creating a fine establishment, and I look forward to visiting again on my next visit to London. I do believe I owe Mr. Sahakian some Australian whisky!

    Fantastic to be able to see the shop again after 25 years! I visited the shop in 1999, as a fresh faced 23 year old visiting London from Australia for my second time and as a novice cigar enthusiast. I believe I was served by Eddie himself! I remember a well dressed gentleman, very kind, knowledgable but most of all, sincere. He recommended a Davidoff Corona and a Montecristo Tubo if memory serves me well. My two first introductions into cigars.
    Although I appreciated the tradition, quality craftsmanship of the surrounding shops around St James, none had the same level of outstanding service as Eddie at Davidoff. He really is an impressionable gentleman. Well spoken and impeccably mannered. Glad to see you again on UA-cam after a quarter of a century on my friend! Glad to see you're still doing well!

    I've been fortunate to have been in that humidor a number of times, it's a magical place surrounded by cigars that simply are unattainable back in New Jersey. I've brought many back with me as a special treat for my dearest friends. Eddie is correct..the Oliva is an impressive smoke that is priced fairly and full of flavor and enjoyment. Best wishes to Edward, Eddie and young Max.
