Where we started:

Taylors is a family run business that began with a single shop in Brighton, which is still there today. We now have a much larger capacity for the distribution of our products and trade throughout the UK.

We were established in 1989, which was just prior to the ‘Cigar Boom’ of 1992. The import and sales of premium cigars, fine tobacco and snuff rose dramatically during this time and there were many distributors who simply couldn’t keep up with the demand. There was an industry-wide shortage of finished products and raw materials and only the best survived. Taylors was one of them.

We have an outstanding and unrivalled reputation for Cigars, Fine tobacco for Pipes and Handrolling & gift items and believe this is down to our passion for the products we sell. Only the very best will ever make the cut and each item is inspected by hand to guarantee customer satisfaction. We flourished, where others failed, due to knowing our customers and only ever using honest and genuine trading practises over the years. If we weren’t the best at what we do, we simply wouldn’t still be here today.

Why tobacco?

Tobacco dates back to the 10th century. It’s been a firm favourite with many elite historical figures such as King Edward VII, Queen Victoria, Winston Churchill and almost every Prime Minister and President to date. Cigars have always meant something very individual to everyone, for some they have been a sign of remembrance, mourning and grief, for others they have marked a celebration – with our late Prime Minister Mr Churchill starting the custom of smoking a cigar alongside an evening Brandy as a high class practice.

Classic composer and pianist Franz Liszt stated ’A good Cuban cigar shuts the door on the worlds vulgarities’.

Victorian literary giant, George Sand said ’The elegant lifestyle is not complete without a cigar’.

Cigars and tobacco have played an important role in the lives of many, for thousands of years. This, we appreciate wholeheartedly. We’re not a large chain company, but a small family run establishment, which means our hands, are experienced, passionate and our service is intimate. We know tobacco, we know cigars and we know how to guarantee the best. Good cigars and quality tobacco is timeless; it’s been used for generations and plays a monumental part in our country’s history and heritage. Our ranges include everything you could possibly want for a unique gift, personal treat or special occasion.
