A Connoisseur's Haven

Sparrow Italia's Mayfair lounge is a sanctuary where each cigar is a masterpiece, handpicked from the world's finest collections. The selection here goes beyond mere labels, focusing on the intricate details that make each cigar unique.

Here, the emphasis is on the richness of flavours, the texture of the smoke, and the craftsmanship behind each roll.

It's a place where connoisseurs find not just cigars, but a curated world of exceptional quality.

Our cigar selection is ever-changing to bring you a variety of options, but there are two standout brands we're especially fond of.

The Cohiba Cigar

Cohiba Cigars bring a touch of Cuban legacy to Sparrow Italia.

Originating as a private brand for Fidel Castro and high-level officials, these cigars have evolved into a symbol of luxury since becoming publicly available in 1982.

The secret lies in a unique third fermentation process, a technique that sets Cohiba apart in the world of premium cigars. Cohiba Cigars at Sparrow Italia captivate the senses with their well-refined flavours of white pepper, baking spices, cocoa, and earth.

Each puff is a tribute to craftsmanship, a nod to a time-honored tradition that transforms tobacco leaves into a masterpiece.

Sit back, relax, and let the smooth, sophisticated flavours transport you to Havana as you savour a Cohiba. These coveted cigars have been beloved by enthusiasts for decades thanks to their bold yet perfectly balanced taste.

Sparrow Italia provides the ideal setting to lose yourself in the rich, layered notes that have made Cohiba the gold standard of luxury tobacco.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Habana Cigar

Hoyo de Monterrey Habana Cigars offers a different kind of indulgence in our cigar lounge.

Established in 1865, this brand has roots in the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba, renowned for its fertile soil and ideal tobacco-growing climate.

The first draw reveals a complex blend of cedar, cocoa, and subtle spices. Your palate will thank you as it dances through these intricate flavors.

The quality of the cigar is evident in its even burn. From the moment you light it up to the final ash, the experience is flawless.

When you experience a Hoyo de Monterrey Habana at Sparrow Italia, you're inhaling a piece of history that dates back over 150 years. Each puff connects you to the skilled artisans who have been crafting these cigars for generations.

Meet Your Personal Havana Cigar Expert

We take pride in offering an experience that's as unique as our cigars. That's why we have our own female cigar sommelier, one of fewer than 40 people globally with specialized training in Habana cigars.

Her expertise is unparalleled, a rare gem in the world of cigars. She's your go-to for unlocking the secrets behind each cigar's unique blend and origin.

As you settle into our lounge, she'll walk you through our curated selection. Her guidance turns your visit into an educational escapade, elevating your appreciation for Habana cigars.

Our sommelier has undergone rigorous training, focusing on the history of tobacco and the intricacies of cigar making. She can dissect the components of each cigar, helping you understand the labor and skill involved in its creation.

With her insights, you'll not only enjoy your cigar but also understand the craftsmanship that goes into creating it.

She’s also an expert in helping you decide what to pair your cigar with, because - as we’ll see - this is key in lifting your cigar experience from something great to something exceptional.

The Perfect Pairing:

In our lounge, your cigar finds its ideal match in our curated drinks menu. It's like a musician discovering the perfect chord to complete a symphony. Dalmore Whiskey is a standout on our whiskey selection, with its deep amber coluor setting the stage.

The aroma is a complex blend of dried apricots and figs, enriched by the unique character that comes from long-term barrel aging.

The flavour profile of Dalmore is a harmonious blend of dried fruits, accented by a raisin note from sherry casks.

As you sip, additional flavours of toffee caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla emerge, each contributing to the complexity of your cigar. A hint of baking spices adds a subtle kick, rounding out the experience.

And how about the perfect wine to match your cigar?

Chateau Mouton Rothschild, a highlight of our variety of wines available,offers a different but equally compelling pairing. The wine's dark cherry hue and refined nose of ripe blackcurrant and floral notes make it a luxurious companion for your cigar.

The palate is a rich tapestry of black fruit, cocoa, and biscuity notes. Exceptionally well-rounded and silky tannins ensure that each sip enhances your cigar's flavours. The finish is persistent, leaving a lasting impression that complements the lingering aroma of your cigar in our lounge.

The choices don't end there. We extend our expertise to a curated list of whiskey cocktails that redefine the cigar experience.

After a long working day in London, imagine sipping an Old-Fashioned, where the smoky notes of bourbon meet the zest of orange peel. This cocktail amplifies the rich, earthy flavours of your cigar, creating a harmonious blend that's unforgettable.

Perhaps you're drawn to the Manhattan, a cocktail that marries sweet vermouth with rye whiskey. The Manhattan's herbal undertones and cherry garnish add a touch of elegance, making each puff of your cigar a luxurious affair.

Our bartenders are masters at their craft, mixologists who turn simple ingredients into complex flavours. Every cocktail is a new adventure, designed to harmonize with your cigar choice. Not to mention the carefully crafted food options. Our delicious Italian and Mediterranean classics can also be enjoyed in the comfort of our cigar lounge, with the dim lights and the cozy atmosphere blending together in a perfect sensory experience one bite at a time.

At Sparrow Italia, the pairing possibilities are endless. Your cigar and chosen drink engage in a dialogue, each amplifying the other's best qualities.

Welcome to the art of the perfect pairing.
