Why London Smokers Are Switching to Online Tobacconists

In a city as fast-paced and expensive as London, cigar enthusiasts are increasingly turning away from traditional high-street shops and instead choosing to shop online for their favourite smokes. At 1865 Cigars, based in Huddersfield and proudly covering London, we’ve seen a growing trend of London-based customers embracing the convenience, selection, and service that comes with shopping from a trusted online tobacconist.

So, what’s behind the shift?


🕒 1. Convenience That Fits London Lifestyles

Life in London moves quickly. Between long commutes, busy workdays, and packed social calendars, finding time to visit a tobacconist in person isn’t always easy. That’s why so many smokers are discovering how simple it is to order online.

With just a few clicks, you can browse our full range of premium cigars, cigarillos, and accessories – all delivered directly to your door anywhere in London.


💸 2. Better Value Than the High Street

London prices are no joke – and cigar shops in areas like Mayfair, Soho or Chelsea often come with inflated prices to match their postcodes. By choosing a specialist online tobacconist like 1865 Cigars, you’re not paying for retail rent – you’re paying for quality, selection, and service.

Our Huddersfield location allows us to keep overheads low and pass the savings on to you, offering better prices on everything from Cuban cigars to hand-picked New World blends.


📦 3. Fast, Discreet & Secure Delivery Across London

We understand that cigar lovers expect their products to arrive in perfect condition – and fast. That’s why we offer quick, secure delivery options across Greater London. All our products are packaged discreetly and stored in humidity-controlled environments until the moment they ship.

Whether you’re in Shoreditch, Clapham, Camden or Canary Wharf, you can enjoy a premium buying experience without leaving home.


🧠 4. Expertise You Can Rely On

Not all online tobacconists are created equal. At 1865 Cigars, our passion runs deep. Whether you’re just starting your cigar journey or know your Cohibas from your Camachos, our team is on hand to offer genuine, knowledgeable advice.

Through our website and customer service channels, we help London customers choose the right cigars for every occasion – from weddings and celebrations to quiet evenings on the terrace.

Looking for something specific? Just ask – we’re more than happy to help.


🎁 5. Wider Selection Than Most London Shops

While local cigar shops in London often have limited shelf space, our warehouse allows us to stock a much broader selection. We carry over 70 brands and dozens of sizes, strengths, and flavour profiles – including cigars you may not easily find in city-centre stores.

Whether you’re after small-format cigarillos, rare Cuban cigars, or bold New World cigars, we’ve got something for every palate.


🔥 Ready to Switch to a Better Cigar Buying Experience?

As more Londoners discover the value, convenience and expertise of online cigar shopping, it’s no surprise that online tobacconists are fast becoming the go-to choice.
