About

Welcome to Robert Graham 1874 - a haven for enthusiasts of the extraordinary

For 150 years, we've been the custodians of exceptional single malt Scotch, handrolled cigars, and exquisite pipe tobacco. Our story began in 1874, right in the heart of Glasgow's bustling trade hub, where the original Robert Graham, a former city Treasurer and proprietor of 20 establishments, left an indelible mark. Knighted for his contributions to Glasgow, his legacy lives on.

While ownership may have evolved, our commitment to blending traditional service with a bold, innovative spirit remains unwavering. Step into a world of rare whiskies, independent bottlings, exclusive Robert Graham 1874 specials, and impeccably preserved hand-rolled cigars from Havana and the New World. Expert advice is always on hand, served with a side of warmth and camaraderie.

But here's the twist – we take a sideways glance at the traditional, embracing its old-world charm while gleefully sidestepping a few rules. Our collection isn't just about products; it's an invitation to join a community that appreciates the finer things in life. Accessories, gifts, and a touch of rebellion await.

Welcome to Robert Graham 1874 – where tradition meets rebellion, and connoisseurs find their beverage and cigar of choice.
