On the 1st July 2010, Havana House acquired The Bear Shop in Cardiff.

The Bear Shop in Cardiff was founded in 1870 by William Arthur Lewis. Around 1900, W. A. Lewis purchased a big bear, known as Bruno, and he has resided at the store ever since – it is reputed that he is 200 years old!

Located in the Wyndham Arcade, this business has served the smokers of Cardiff and beyond for over 140 years! Stocking one of the biggest ranges of pipe and rolling tobaccos in the UK instore, The Bear Shop allows customers to see and smell the incredible products before they buy them. The largest tobacconist in Wales, the shop also boasts an impressive selection of cigars from all over the world in the spacious cigar room, including Cuban Limited Editions, Regional Editions and other aged cigars.
