Boutique Smokes adds Dapper Cigars

Boutique Smokes adds Dapper Cigars to the list of brands that the British importer and online retailer is representing. It is the fifth brand for the company after Kafie 1901, El Viejo Continente, Epic, and Skull 77.

The number 3

Mike Choi, the man behind boutique smokes, told us that he always starts with three vitolas. Every brand he adds to the portfolio starts with three vitolas, preferably different blends. If the sales are good, he has the freedom to add new vitolas from the same brands. Read our interview with the former U.K. Habanos Sommelier, and runner up at the Habanos Festival here.

From Dapper Cigar Company, Choi selected the La Madrina Robusto, El Borracho Natural Edmundo, and Cubo Sumatra Short Robusto. We reviewed two of these blends in the past, but not specifically these sizes. Read our reviews on the La Madrina and Cubo Sumatra.

Physical locations

Boutique Smokes is an online retailer with no physical storefront. But that doesn’t mean that the cigars from the company aren’t available in retail locations and sampling rooms. Boutique Smokes supplies three retailers in the United Kingdom with cigars. 

The location where Skull 77, Dapper Cigars, El Viejo Continente, Kafie 1901, and Epic are available are Cigars Unlimited in Fulham, T.H. Dalling in Ayr, and Sautters of Knightsbridge. The last location has a sampling room where the cigars can be sampled.
