We have asked his colleagues, friends and customers
to write a short tribute to the ‘Father of the UK Cigar
Scene’ and we are delighted to include these together
with some photographs gathered from those 35
years.

– Some young faces in this picture
“ 35 years ago Edward Sahakian had the audacity to write to Oettinger
Davidoff’s patron Dr Ernest Schneider asking to open a Davidoff store in
London - and the rest is history!
We are proud to have partnered with Edward throughout his 35 years at St.
James and without him Davidoff would not be where we are today.
While Davidoff of London is an institution, it is thanks to the man behind:
Edward’ who is a true gentleman and a true friend.
His no-limits customer service is as legendary as that of Zino Davidoff’s in
Geneva. I wish Edward many more happy years in the cigar world and I am
delighted to see his son Eddie carrying on the legacy with excellence. Happy
Anniversary!”
