Behind the cellar

A house built by hand, run by one.

Every cigar in our cellar is hand-selected by Mr. Ehab Abdallah at La Casa del Habano in Havana, authenticated against Habanos S.A. records, and held in our London vault until it travels — with a signed certificate — to your humidor.

The Moka Standard  ·  Six points

The Ground We Stand On.

The terms we keep on every cigar that leaves the cellar. Set out here so a member need never ask.

  1. Direct source, no grey market

    Every Cuban on the shelf arrives direct from Habanos S.A. under the Específico label — not via a parallel import or secondary broker.

  2. Factory-traceable

    Every box carries its factory code, date stamp, and seal. Each is read and recorded on arrival.

  3. Climate-controlled cellar

    70°F / 70% RH, across seven independent humidors. Logged to the hour and audited each quarter.

  4. Inspection on arrival

    Band, wrapper, foot, draw. Four points, read by hand. A rejected cigar never reaches the shelf.

  5. MokaVerify, for members

    A signed verification receipt for any cigar in our care — the tool we built for ourselves, first.

  6. Begun as a society

    Imperial College, London, MMXIV. The library that taught us the Cuban canon is still being kept.
