New Turmeaus Cigars & Whisky Store Knutsford Our ‘Northern Correspondent’ Dale Battams took a day out from his busy pre Christmas schedule to pop in and give us his initial view on the brand new Turmeus Cigars & Whisky store in Knutsford Cheshire. The store had only been opened for four days but he was suitably impressed. “Knutsford is a great place” he told us “It’s always been a prosperous area and the store sits between the McLaren & Tesla showrooms 200 yards away and the beautiful Tatton Park, with its beautiful grounds and spectacular house. When you go there it feels like Knutsford deserves it. The store is down a nice, small side street off the main high street and there is plenty of parking, particularly during the week. In the store I found a good size walk in humidor with a good range of cigars. The staff were extremely knowledgeable on both cigars and whisky, they were also extremely attentive. I selected an Orchant Selection Ramon Allones Specially Selected (RASS) and headed upstairs to the beautiful sampling lounge. It’s very comfortable with a high ceiling and has seating for 10 to 12 people. I sat, surrounded by whiskies and enjoyed my cigar with a coffee. This is the nearest cigar store to my home and I consider myself very lucky. I think it’s going to become my regular winter cigar haunt.” Andrew, who is the stores whisky & wines specialist, has joined the Turmeaus from Booth’s and as soon as the store has the necessary licence he will be running regular cigar and whisky pairing evenings in the store. The store also has a considerable range of pipes and pipe tobacco as well as a super range of cigar smoker’s accessories including humidors, lighters cutters and ashtrays .
