World’s Oldest Cigar Seller: STORE CRAZY 

I had a wooden pipe when i was 12 years old. A name is written on it and it was King Adward and also written year and i think it was 1785 or 1857 i dont remember exactly. My school teacher snatched it from me in class room and never teturn me. My grandfather gave me that pipe. I think i lost most precious thing.

@@waqarumer4291 Sounds like the white elephant in your life. I wouldn’t care bout it anymore

@@kreterakete what does that mean the white elephant in your life... please? Thanks

Good bargain 🤣

but dont worry, giving up smoking is easy... ive done it hundreds of times.

@@holymaryfullofshit3790 i do hope this reply gets likes its the best so far

Mark Twain also had half his face removed including his tongue and jaw due to throat and mouth cancer from his constant smoking. I enjoy cigars but Mark Twain is not the guy you want as your poster child.

@@sierra7534 who told you that non-sense?

I would rather smoke weed... whats the points of smoking tobacco? you cant take it to your lungs and it tastes bad

IC BM the point is tasting the endless complexity that a premium tobacco cigar can provide. I know, its hard to understand that you can consume a smokable only for its taste, not to get high or nicotine rushed. But yeah, its great after you get your taste buds trained.

IC BM what do you mean you can't take tobacco to your lungs? That's how you smoke cigarettes, all the tar you pull into your lungs is what's so terribly bad for you. A nice cigarr tastes fantastic, and I don't see why you would want to breath smoke into your lungs. During combustion you will create hazardous substances. Doesn't matter if it's tobacco or weed. With that said I smoke more weed than I smoke tobacco.

I scrolled comments to see that mentioned when I first heard it

that cough did not age well

😂😂😂

would be me inside that hotbox xD

It was actually the sudden rush of Oxygen that made the cellar dweller to cough. 😂

Heru- deshet if u ever wanted to try a cigar it's not dangerous it's not addictive just saying but yeah the aroma is so nice especially pipe tobacco

Ed

"It's not dangerous" Please provide some evidence for that.

He means like if you could manage to smoke once a month the side effects are not to be found.

No, thats a retarded comparison.

Whistling Maniac no difference , tobacco smoke, cooking smoke, diesel smoke, fart gas. Non of it is toxic

hill billy It is toxic to us, but it needs an accumulation for it to take effects, that's why smoking related studies are done with individuals who are exposed with longer periods of time. Hyperbolic news made us had that mentality that being exposed to smoking is equivalent to cancer. So you are partly wrong.

I liked it, and the smell was pretty neat. That's the least fucked up thing my parents did to me.

Whistling Maniac me being Italian remember sitting on the legs of my grand god father and enjoy the music.of Sicily while they were beating someone with baseball bats.... ahhh good times..nothing better for a child to be exposed early to the way of making healthy efficient business...

My standy is a 4$ Villa Gonzales. Its a bundle packed nicaraguan stick and honestly it easily beats many more expensive sticks in terms of flavour and how much i enjoy t.

I love this comment. I know the exact feeling and I feel it less and less these days, to the point where it will be a totally unable to generate feeling because bricks'n'mortar stores are dying out and what's left will be crap and corporate ugliness with no heart, no soul. I don't think what you wrote about is spoken about and eulogised, explored and celebrated often enough: for a SHOP to inspire us not just to be happy about a specially planned pilgrimage, but to shine our shoes, shave well, do our hair and make sure we look 'worthy' and join in with the high standards we are presented with and respond to so enthuisastically. It's so wonderful to uplift people to be their best when dipping their toes into what they're grateful for and clearly NEED: a sophisticated 'world' with standards and expectations that pulls them out of an ugly, broken society and encourages them to smarten up and be their best behaviour and appearance. I love this. What an incredibly rare phenomenon. This tends to happen to me when I'm in Japan a great deal. Elegant cigar bars and high end teahouses; I show my deep reverence and appreciation by making a day of it and grooming myself to within an inch of my life. It's wonderful. I sleep well at night.

I think it's clear that he was not talking about private residences. Or are brits not allowed to smoke inside their own homes?

topophil first off I’m Scottish not British, second it’s a joke and third it depends on what year your house or flat was built if it’s before a certain year(I’m not sure what year) then yes your aloud to smoke inside but after to help prevent fires related to smoking it will go against the agreements you have to sign and could get removed from the house or flat ur renting not sure about buying a house though I’d imagine it would be something similar

Paul Ross 😂😂😂😂 nope the Scots and English are very divided people you ask any Scottish person they tell you the same

@@aaronbaxter9935 Yes they are. But by all accounts you are technically British. Just like you're also technically European. He wasn't wrong for calling you a Brit.

@@aaronbaxter9935 it doesn't matter what you think, if you're Scottish, you're also British.

It is not. Shop in London opened in 1947. I know 100+ year old tobacco shops in The Netherlands. Even if you look at JJ Fox original shop in Dublin it's not the oldest. That shop opened in 1888. Hajenius in Amsterdam was founded in 1826.

@@mrshankly213 maybe if you move house. But if you're opening an additional store, that logic doesn't apply. Surely you would want to continue the brand name and reputation to the next store?

They have those in the UK?

@@Eralen00 You can't smoke either in the UK. That is what annoys me, this place you can smoke indoors where the rest of us in the UK can't. But I suppose for the rich and famous or the MP's, for we but not for thee.

Hey just because the oldman at his age is still smoking doesnt mean its the same story for everybody.

I've never smoked a cigar in the morning - any you'd recommend?

Aurum 666 he probably doesn’t have to drive far to work if he has time for morning cigars and cigars are not nearly as dangerous as cigarettes let alone automobiles

mmmm aged tobacco and LEATHER

and I'm glad that changed

@@hjubris Im not.You are probably a kid.

Liability for the employees. If they get cancer from second hand smoke they'd have a good case against the business.

@@reeffeeder nowadays we have such good ventilation systems that someone next to you can smoke but you will barely smell it, let alone inhale any smoke. I understand that 10/20/30 years ago there was barely any ventilation and second hand smoke was a problem. But times have change, luckily.

Simple: smokers are a distinct ever decreasing minority, which, objectively, is a good thing. And I am a pipe smoker.

@@-----REDACTED----- I don't know if that is true for most countries, but I would hope so. I smoke cigarettes myself, way too many at that. I quit once, will probably do so again. I also once smoked pipes, that was much nicer. Either way, it has just been a detriment to my well being for the most part, including the annoyance of not being allowed to smoke anywhere XD (Though Switzerland is awesome, in bars and malls, train stations and airports etc, they have ventilated indoor smoking areas which are very nice.)

In Japan and Korea they have ventilation systems for smokers - even in restaurants.

THE REAL KING FRANCES that’s one more blessing in your life.( imagine someone in texas breathless just by looking at the inside of the shop and counting the coins in my piggy bank so to afford the trip to the UK)😞

I would be there at least one lunch hour per week. Very enjoyable way to spend an hour or two.

Cual es la diferencia entre Habanos y Puros?

Wow! Really? Did your family make cigars back then?

cigars and cigarettes are not even comparable...

A Turkish coffee shop is my happy place.

KiloByte Sorry but it's liberal douchebags that want to control our freedoms not aristocrats that probably have far more interesting things to be doing.

Aristocrats??? Im a truck driver...i go in there at least once a year to smoke/buy....

hahaha

The aristocrats would love to have the smoking ban lifted, its the liberals that wanted to ban smoking on public. Just look at all the members club in central London, most members are what you called as “aristocrats”, all the smoking room are now non-smoking rooms.

It's a smoking lounge inside a tobacco shop, seems perfectly normal to me. It's good that they banned inside smoking but allow places like this for diehard tobacco fans.

Not unhealthy at all, in fact shown to prevent or slow down Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Like everything good in life, it must be consumed in moderation. Don't confuse cigars with cigarettes, as they don't even have real tobacco in them. It's all paper and chemicals

@@kb26inla +1

Bruh get yourself some cigars and live a little

Cigarettes are unhealthy. Not Cigars.

They're not as bad as cigarettes. You don't inhale. Your mouth and throat take a hit, but then again, you smoke once a week or even less. I am willing to take that remaining risk for the pleasure I get.

That's true. It;s because of the tobacco tax. In the UK, there's a tax per weight and then VAT. In Germany it's a small percentage of the value.

I came here for this

This is from the video description Cigar merchants James J. Fox, based in London’s upmarket Mayfair region first opened its doors in 1881 in Dublin, before moving to London in 1947.

Frozen Fox dont argue

The shop first opened its doors in 1881 in Dublin, before moving to London in 1947.

They were located in Dublin for 66 years prior to their move to London in 1947.

Actually their history goes back to the 1700s. www.jjfox.co.uk/heritage
