Shelby07 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I am going to have to cancel my plans to meet in London. Just received a call from friends who will be in town this weekend and we invited them to stay with us. Really sorry that I won’t be able to make it, but I’ll keep my eyes open for another time (maybe in the states?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevo Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Is it ok if I bring a friend? Also a new BOTL. He rarely gets saturdays off but is indeed free this weekend. Hoping this won’t cause an issue. Presume we can’t smoke our own in JJ’s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 With respect to foxy, numbers are locked in. It is a tasting so no, you can't bring your own cigar. I will supply the tasting cigar however it is always good form to purchase one from the establishment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha_banos Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 This is England. You can never smoke your own cigar inside as it's illegal. Smoking in premises is only a concession for sampling the store goods! Try before you buy. For anyone going who's not done so before... Fill your wallet or bring your biggest credit card! Welcome to blighty! Enjoy guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torsion Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 FWIW - there's a FB forum herf also taking place (as far as I know) at JJFox on Saturday, so it could be really busy up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Smoker Posted June 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2019 What an absolute pleasure to have finally met Rob, Di, and several of our friends from here at FOH! I really enjoyed the event - great atmostphere, great company, and thank you to Rob for the amazing Bushido! I wish I could have tried some of those Rums, but alas I was driving. I've been away from here for a while due to personal commitments, but meeting everyone today reminded me what a great forum and group of people we have here. If there is a meet anywhere near you, you should definitely try to get to it! Here are some short videos from the event: Pan of the JJ Fox Cigar Lounge Some kind words from El Pres (caught the tail of it on film) Sorry for the poor audio and camerawork, but my excuses range from the lighting, to the smoke, to the phone, and to even blaming other members where possible. ? I also had a Bushido in my mouth...as the geisha said to the bishop. Note: I have a 2GB limit at Dropbox, so I'll leave the videos up for a few weeks, but will eventually have to remove them. If a mod can embed them somehow, that would be nice. Oh, and finally.... On 4/2/2017 at 9:17 AM, Smoker said: JJ Fox - St James's Street Nice big humidor at this famous Cigar Merchant. Also benefits from a large lounge upstairs where you can sample what you have just bought downstairs. If only you could get a parking space like this in real life! Dreams really DO come true!!!!? Ok, it's not RIGHT outside, but it's across the road, which meant I could sit and watch it being sideswiped from up in the cigar lounge!!! (Well, the car didn't actually get sideswiped in the end, but that didn't stop me checking on it every 30 seconds lol. If anyone wants to drive to JJ Fox, parking is £4.90 per hour for up to 4 hours, which is a good amount of time for some browsing and sampling! I chatted with some of the staff while there, and they were as knowledgeable, professional and welcoming as always. What are you waiting for? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
