On October 8th, 2025, La Casa del Habano Nottingham officially opened its doors, marking a proud moment for the city and for cigar enthusiasts across the United Kingdom.
The evening was one of pure elegance and celebration. Guests arrived to find a vintage Rolls Royce parked outside, setting a tone of timeless luxury. Inside, Pommery Champagne flowed freely as guests were welcomed into an atmosphere that combined Cuban warmth with British refinement.
Throughout the night, guests enjoyed an exceptional selection of cigars including the Bolívar Petit Corona, the rare La Casa del Habano Partagás Culebras, and the Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto. A few of the honoured guests also experienced the legendary Cohiba Behike 54. Each cigar was paired with fine whisky, champagne, and Cuban cocktails, creating a celebration of flavour and tradition.
The new location is owned by a family dedicated for decades to the world of Habanos. In his speech, Mr. Samra, founder of The House of Holmes and custodian of La Casa del Habano Nottingham, reflected on the family journey.
“Our story began when we took over Nottingham’s historic tobacconist Josiah Browns in 2006. We have continued to grow through dedication, passion, and community. Today, becoming the official La Casa del Habano for Nottingham is the proudest moment in our family’s history.”
Hunters & Frankau Ltd — the exclusive distributor of Habanos in the United Kingdom — was represented by Sean Croley – Sales & Marketing Director, José A. Cejas – Corporate Director, and Tim Owen – Account Manager.
The evening came to a close in a spirit of joy and pride. The launch of La Casa del Habano Nottingham marked not only the continuation of a family legacy but a new era for the cigar culture in this region of England.
