About James J. Fox

Yiorgos, our fearless leader and managing director, hails from the land of Zeus and souvlaki. Legend has it that when he set foot on the Irish shores, the whiskey gods embraced him, and he discovered a passion that flowed through his veins like an ancient elixir. Now, he navigates the business realm with the wisdom of Dionysus and the smoky charisma of a cigar aficionado, leaving us all wondering if he's secretly plotting a merger between the Pantheon and the world of spirits.

Stephen, our store manager, is a whiskey-loving maestro whose musical journey in Edinburgh hit a high note when he discovered that the key to his heart was actually a barrel-aged symphony of flavours.

Paul, our retail manager, is the wine aficionado known as "The Nose" because he can sniff out the grape variety of a bottle of wine faster than a Spanish flamenco dancer can stomp. While he dreams of owning a vineyard in the sunny south of Spain, Paul's love for Scotch whiskey proves that he's not just chasing grapes, but also the smooth spirit of adventure in every glass.

Steph, our sales advisor and the whiskey whisperer who once graced the halls of Powerscourt Distillery, is now venturing into the smoky world of cigars, all in the name of expanding her expertise in both areas, and achieving her lifelong dream of creating her own whiskey. Catch her mastering the art of pairing fine whiskey with the perfect cigar, turning every tasting session into a symphony of flavour and laughter. She's the blend of knowledge and humour you never knew you needed in your quest for liquid gold and aromatic delights.

Daniel is our sales advisor. He is a seasoned mixed martial artist, and as such, he is a perfect fit for our complaints department. The one thing he enjoys more than a well-executed rear-naked choke is a glass of Tyrconnell 10 Year Old Port Finish, paired with a Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2.

Patrick is one of our sales advisors, and if there's one thing he's more passionate about than cigars, it'll be music. He's a talented saxophonist and, if you hear jazz playing on our shop floor, you can be sure that he's on the day's roster!

Bobby, our sales advisor and gentle giant with a heart of gold, is a master at rocking out to music concerts while simultaneously chasing Pokémon like a graceful, whiskey-loving ninja. With his love for anime and Irish whiskey, Bobby has achieved the perfect blend of geeky sophistication, spirited adventures and customer charm that can only be described as “whiskeymon!”

Anthony, our resident biomedical engineering student at Trinity College, speaks four languages – or possibly more; we usually lose count before he finishes saying hello. Between studying the workings of the human body and navigating our humidor, he brings a scientific mind to the shop floor. We’re hoping he’ll eventually explain why customers who pop in for one cigar invariably leave with five.

Hailing from the tobacco lands of Nicaragua, Maciel brings a touch of Central American sunshine to our shop floor – even when the Irish weather refuses to cooperate. While the rest of us spent years learning to pronounce the names in our humidor, she had something of a geographical head start. She dreams of owning her own cigar brand one day, so we’re enjoying having her on the team before we have to book an appointment with her European sales director.

Pete, our e-commerce manager, is the Usain Bolt of typing, leaving a trail of smouldering keyboards in his wake. With fingers that move faster than a caffeinated hummingbird, he fearlessly leads our e-commerce department, ensuring every product listing gets the royal treatment while simultaneously inspiring envy from the Flash himself. Just be careful not to challenge him to a typing race unless you want to witness a typographical supernova that'll make your fingers scream for mercy!

Amy, the whirlwind sales executive, possesses a unique blend of fiery energy and boundless enthusiasm. With a quiver of arrows at her side and a glass of whiskey in hand, she fearlessly hits targets and happy hour conversations with equal precision. When she's not dominating in archery or spouting facts about Co. Meath, you can find Amy effortlessly multitasking, while talking non-stop, leaving us all wondering if she's secretly mastered the art of inhaling words between breaths.

Lainey, our e-commerce assistant and order fulfilment extraordinaire, is a gift-wrapping guru with hands that move faster than a hyperactive squirrel on a caffeine binge. With a magical touch and an eye for aesthetics, she effortlessly turns every order into a work of art, complete with flawless ribbons that could make even Santa's elves envious. If you ever need proof that efficiency and beauty can coexist, just watch Lainey pack orders faster than the speed of light while sprinkling a touch of whimsy into every box, leaving customers wondering if they accidentally stumbled upon an e-commerce wonderland.

Jason, our marketing executive, has the challenging task of making cigars and whiskey look even more tempting than they already are. Armed with a camera and a clip-on microphone, he prowls the shop in search of his next reluctant star. “Just a quick video” is his favourite phrase – and our cue to suddenly remember something urgent in the stockroom. If you spot us gazing thoughtfully into the distance, Jason has probably just told us to “act natural”.

Oğuzhan (oh-san), or simply Ozzy, our e-commerce assistant, decided to trade the sunny Turkey for Ireland, and now brings a little Turkish delight to the technical side of James J. Fox. Working behind the scenes on our website, he tackles technical puzzles with a calm that makes the rest of us look unnecessarily dramatic. He’ll occasionally answer your call too, so if the voice on the line sounds remarkably relaxed, you’ve probably reached Ozzy. We’re still trying to work out whether he’s ever actually been stressed or simply needs a software update to add that feature.
