AE Lloyd & Sons History
A family firm since 1890 with four generations of retailing fine hand made cigars for which we have built up a solid reputation worldwide.
We have also run a cigar website since 1997, being the first UK site for hand made cigars, and as such have a lot of experience of shipping fine cigars, with all our cigars sent in original condition as fresh as they were when they left our Gold Medal humidor.

Gregorio was Hemingway's fishing boat captain and subject of his novel "The Old Man of The Sea".
John Thomas Lloyd
John Thomas Lloyd, my father who took on the shop after leaving the RAF at the end of world War II. J T as he was known was the first cigar aficionado in the family, Hoyo De Monterey being his “go to” cigar but enjoyed any cigar so long as it was Cuban!
