Sampling Evening with Jorge Luis Padron - Wednesday 2nd October 6:30pm

We are delighted to host a gentleman from a legendary cigar family at James J. Fox for a cigar sampling event on Wednesday 2^nd October. The man we are welcoming is Mr. Jorge Luis Padron of Padron Cigars. He is in London for just the one night, so we had to make this event to show our appreciation to him and give UK cigar aficionados an opportunity to meet a cigar expert from one of the leading familiies in the industry.

The cigar we will be sampling on the evening will be the Padron Damoso No. 15 (6’’ x 52). Not the Padron we have become accustomed to through the years, instead a Connecticut wrapper with a medium-to-full body and flavour. 19 St James’s Street has enjoyed history with Padron; the Nicaraguan brand were specially commissioned to produce our commemorative 225^th Anniversary cigars in 2012. It has been a while so it will be a great reunion on the evening with a member of the family.

We will be pairing the cigar with a selection of drams from English Whisky brand The Lakes. Joining us will be Hemil Haria, UK Brand Ambassador for The Lakes Distillery as he details the whiskies we will be trying, including their latest unique Galaxia bottling. The Lakes have created a great impression in the world of Whisky with multiple awards awarded to many of their bottles.
