Our readers voted renowned tobacconist Edward Sahakian’s sampling lounge, located on the mezzanine of the Bulgari Hotel in London’s upscale Knightsbridge neighborhood, best cigar lounge of the year. Since the store branch on St. James’s Street opened in 2012, the lounge has offered cigar smokers a relaxing retreat.

The adjacent shop offers cigar lovers a selection of vintage cigars from Sahakian’s personal supply as well as classics from many well-known brands. Smokers can lean on the advice of experienced and award-winning sommeliers Mike Choi and Attila Szabo, who are particularly knowledgeable when it comes to rarities.
