Cigar Terrace

The terrace, humidor and cigar collection at The Wellesley is worthy of Winston.

 

Home to one of the largest cigar humidors in town, complete with marble map of Cuba on the floor, The Wellesley has an impressive (and expensive) range of cigars, some in beautifully presented carved wooden boxes with hand painted portraits on them. Suppliers include famous Cuban tobacco growers amounting to a quite incredible collection with prices going up to and including £3,000 for one Cohiba Behike cigar. Smokers can enjoy vintage Havanas and limited edition Behikes, discuss and learn first-hand from humidor manager Giuseppe Ruo, and enjoy a cigar while Winston Churchill looks down on you from his portrait painted on tobacco leaves by Cuban artist Ernesto.
