The Untold Story of Davidoff London | Cigars, Craft & Legacy

The Luxury Dispatch with Tom Chamberlin

Show Notes

What makes a cigar truly exceptional? Is it the craftsmanship, the rarity, or the story behind every leaf? And how does a single shop earn its place as a destination for collectors across the world?

Edward and Eddie Sahakian of Davidoff of London join Tom Chamberlin to answer exactly that. Their story begins with revolution and displacement, a suitcase packed for a short trip that quietly became a lifetime. What followed was the building of something genuinely iconic.

They trace the arc of the cigar world from Cuban dominance to the rise of New World blends, and talk honestly about rarity, collecting, and what separates a good cigar from a truly unforgettable one. They explain why the finest examples can command hundreds, or even thousands, of pounds, but also that those most memorable are the ones shared in good company.

A truly unique insight into one of London’s most iconic institutions.
