J.J. Fox Announces James J. Fox Selección to the U.K and Ireland

James J. Fox is pleased to introduce the new James J. Fox Selección, exclusively to the U.K and Ireland.

The James J. Fox Selección will be launched at our 19 St James’s Street store on Thursday, 25th June, and will be available to purchase thereafter from our St James’s or Selfridges stores. They will then be introduced to Ireland on July 1st at an event in Dublin.

The new cigars are available in three sizes, each one a classic vitola.

James J. Fox Selección is a natural continuation of the Fox House Blend. The aim was to create a cigar with a new blend and presentation while keeping the philosophy of flavour and commitment to quality.

The box design honours the company’s tradition for developing lines in partnership with some of the most prestigious Cuban cigar houses. Brands such as Partagás, Punch, Romeo y Julieta, Por Larrañaga, and many others created cigars and lines exclusively for James J. Fox. It is a tradition that began in the 19th century and only concluded in the 1980s.

Inspired by the original presentation of these Cuban boxes, the Selección series are housed in Slid Lid Boxes, finished with a yellow ribbon drawn across the top row of cigars and fixed onto the short side of the box with a dress stud. Each box is stamped ‘Specially selected by James J. Fox London and Dublin’.

The boxes also have a seal, reminiscent of the Cuban Warranty seals first seen on Havana cigars in 1889. However, the Fox Selección seal is decorated with the facades of our two flagship stores, 19 St James’s Street and 119 Grafton Street.

Finally, each box also contains a vitolina (or flyer) explaining the story of the James J. Fox Selección. It is printed in English, Irish, and Spanish to reflect the truly collaborative nature of these cigars.

The cigars are all long filler and handmade at the Danlí Cigar Factory, Honduras. Overseen by Master Blender Hamlet Paredes.
