London and Tokyo Flagships Confirmed by Dominique London and Tang Tobacco

September 13, 2025 Usman Dawood 2 min read

Dominique London and Tang Tobacco will open a La Casa del Habano on Pall Mall in St James’s, confirmed on 11 September 2025. It is their first project since a July 2025 partnership and will be Dominique London’s flagship location.

St James’s is the historic centre of London’s cigar trade, so a Casa on Pall Mall signals intent. The site is designed as a service led space for private tastings, collection care, and repeat client work with continuity and traceable supply.

Presentation will centre on two custom walk in humidors by DeArt of Italy. The twin layout is a defining feature, with trained specialists managing rotation and condition. A broad range of Cuban vitolas and LCDH exclusives is expected.

“Hunters and Frankau is delighted that a new Casa del Habano will open in the heart of St James’s in London and we look forward to working with Dominique London to support this new venture,” said Executive Chairman Jemma Freeman.

“This first collaboration with Tang Tobacco brings two teams with high standards together. We will combine curation, provenance, and service to give clients a consistent experience from the humidor to the lounge,” said Dominique London founder Dominique Gyselinck.

Mr Lawrence Lau, Chairman of Tang Tobacco and Director of Pacific Cigar, said, “London is a benchmark for discerning clients. Our collaboration with Dominique London brings aligned standards to St James’s and Pall Mall. This opening sets the tone for what our partnership will deliver.”

A second high end location in central Tokyo has also been confirmed. The partners describe Tokyo as a mature luxury market and will release further details in due course.

Tang Tobacco was founded by Sir David Tang and is the shareholder of The Pacific Cigar Company, Habanos distributor for Asia Pacific, with operations across Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Australia.

Dominique London is a European cigar, spirits, and accessories group with 31 locations across six countries, including La Casa del Habano, La Casa del Tabaco, Turmeaus, Puffin Rooms, the Mash Tun boutique hotel, and Snowdonia Distillery.
