How about we go downstairs and enjoy a fine Cognac with a vintage cigar?

Ajay Patel and his wife Bhavna bought a run-down shop that only sold newspapers, cigarettes and sweets in Teddington in 1992.  Their vision was to eventually specialise in sales of tobacco, cigars and accessories.  The shop on Broad Street started selling lots of stuff that needed to be weighed – tobacco, chocolates etc, so the name Broadweighs was created and the future began.
