Moleskine Cigar Journal

The perfect accessory for a passionate cigar smoker

Hi I'm Mike Choi

I've been in the cigar industry for a number of years, working with Cuban and New World Cigars. In that time I've had the opportunity to try thousands of smokes, to really understand what works and what doesn't.

Find out here more about myself and my journey in creating Boutique Smokes

Here at Boutiques Smokes, you'll find my personal hand picked selection of what I've found to be the best Boutique New World cigars from across the world.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do

Our Brands

El Viejo Continente

El Viejo Continente means “The Old Continent” and the brand is owned by Master Blender Daniel Guerrero. Made in Nicaragua, the brand makes cigars that reflect the old world European cigar culture and has created a blend of tobacco that is rich and complex.

Epic

Founded by Dean Parsons and made at the Charles Fairmon factory in Santiago de los Cabelleros, in the Dominican Republic, Epic Cigars are aptly named. Ranging from medium to medium-full in flavour with 3 great vitolas to try these certainly are the cigars to create epic moments.

Try For Yourself

Kafie 1901 Cigars

KAFIE 1901 Cigars was created for those that are looking for that classic, well-aged, flavourful cigar experience. All the tobacco is aged for a minimum of 3 years, and the brand was nominated in the best Honduran Cigars category in the 2019 Cigar Journal awards.

Skull 77

These are not your typical light flavoured Costa Rican cigars, instead blending tobacco from 4 different countries. The cigars use the same blend for each vitola, and the band for each vitola has a little change to the Skull imagery that makes this brand stand out from the crowd.

Nick Hammond is quite the prolific freelance journalist and has written for the likes of The Arbuturian, The Good Life, Fieldsports, Country Life and Cigar Journal. Nick also was awarded the Spectator Magazine Cigar Writer of the Year 2013.

It is through his work with Cigar Journal that I got to know Nick and my time managing The Edward Sahakian Cigar Shop. Two years ago, as I embarked on my Boutique Smokes project, Nick interviewed me for Cigar Journal.


Around the World in 80 cigars is not a cigar encyclopaedia, it’s more of a travelogue combined with his love of cigars. It’s a great book for enjoying as you enjoy a cigar and a wee dram.

If I didn’t know it was true, I could honestly believe that the stories are pure fantasy. Stories that left me astonished and made me laugh out loud. Nick has had some fantastic adventures and has nine lives.

I would say this is the perfect book to take some time out with or just enjoy a few chapters as you smoke a fine cigar.

We have limited copies of this book available and like our Moleskine Cigar Journal, Around the World in 80 cigars makes the perfect gift for birthdays and Christmas or just a treat for yourself.

Moleskine Cigar Journal

£25.00 Sale

The Cigar Journal is based on the Moleskine Passion Journal series on their popular line covering 12 subjects. It’s a series for the passionate connoisseur. The journals are more than just notebooks or diaries, they provide more information and then some more interesting sections for records.

Moleskine journals are renowned for the texture of their covers and the Cigar Journal is no exception. On closer inspection you will see that the pattern is in fact tobacco leaves!

The Cigar Journal has 7 sections to it, easily accessed by tabs:

1. General cigar information

2. Your tasting notes

3. Your cigar collection

4. Events

5. Shops

6. Blank section

7. Index

 

The perfect journal for any cigar lover, it was created by my friend Norio Hattori, the Marketing Director of Pacific Cigar Company (the Asian Cuban cigar distributors). It is an official Moleskine product but, not available on their website as it is made exclusively for PCC. You won’t get them anywhere else in the U.K. I believe.

We are also including a wooden cigar stand, made at the El Viejo Continente Factory, and an optional sampler.

Xikar Travel Humidor

£38.00 Sale

These Xikar travel humidors are the best in the business, and we've used ours for years. These super strong ABS molded plastic cases are airtight, watertight and crushproof, perfectly protecting your cigars inside.

We can also customise your travel humidor with a personalised lasercut wooden nameplate. Choose from text (such as your initials or name), your instagram account or fully bespoke if you have a logo you want to display, to make sure your case stands out. Simply add a name plate to your order and let us know what you want engraved on it in the Notes section of your order.

Boveda 60g Pack - 69%

£4.50 Sale

Boveda packs provide hassle-free maintenance of full-size humidors and Humidor Bags. Unlike distilled water and PG solutions with sponge/gel/crystals/beads that will impart unwanted flavours on your cigars, Boveda's reverse-osmosis membrane only releases pure water vapour and Boveda will never damage anything through direct contact. This is why we use Boveda products to maintain humidity for all of our stock, as well as included in each package sent out to you to ensure perfect humidification in transit. This larger size is perfect to go inside your humidor and 2 are recommended for every 50 cigars you have. Each Boveda pack comes individually cellophane wrapped to preserve its humidity. Simply open the cellophane and add to your humidor to start using.
