Smoking in enclosed public spaces in London has been banned since 2007. Earlier cigar lounges were common in private clubs and grand hotels where politicians, writers, and business people socialized late into the evening. Modern luxury hotels now convert terraces, courtyards, and rooftop areas into cigar lounges with contemporary ventilation, curated whisky lists, and carefully managed humidors. The Emory uses micro-perforations and a powerful extraction system, with cigar oversight by Blue Curran and bespoke spirit pairings. The Lanesborough’s Garden Room offers cigars, champagne, and late-afternoon drinks, led by Angel Niakas with Cuban cigars and Cognac/Armagnac pairings dating to the 18th century. The Connaught’s cigar merchants space behind the Red Room bar features a wall-length Italian humidor and a compact design by Bryan O’Sullivan.
