The Connaught Cigar Merchants

Tucked away in the heart of the hotel, those in the know will discover The Connaught Cigar Merchants – home to one of the finest cigar collections in the capital. From mysterious marques, wrapped in intrigue, to the definitive Cuban cigars rolled for Fidel Castro himself, this meticulously appointed space pays homage to the rare and the refined.

Under an intricately carved Pippy Oak ceiling, the creativity of acclaimed interior designer Bryan O’Sullivan unfolds. Step up to the one-of-a-kind altar to witness two centuries of craft take shape, under the careful stewardship of Head of Cigars, Adam Lajca – one of only 33 Masters of Havana Cigars in the world. Whether helping to build your personal collection or sourcing bespoke requests for special occasions, Adam and his team offer unique insight into the hotel’s humidor.

Cigars are paired with hand-picked spirits, from the vintage Karuizawa 1972 to the specially created Connaught Scotch – a limited-release whisky that celebrates the opening of The Connaught Cigar Merchants. Utterly private and discreet-by-design, this is a timeless place in which to sit back, unwind and draw it all in.
