They could talk about paint drying for hours and I would listen

Dear Mr Eddie & Mr Edward Sahakian. I don't know if this comment will ever reach you but i hope it will. My brother (from Belgium) came by your shop in London a few days ago and bought me a cigar which you signed the box for. Both of you. Thank you so much. You are both masterclass at it's finest. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you again!

One thing I like to use is the cedar wrapper that comes on some cigars. Light the wrap with whatever is handy, then use it to light the cigar. The cedar smoke has a nice aroma as well.

This Rum maker looks like a text book member or the British empire. Love it

Had the wonderful privilege to meet Mr Sahakian today. Wonderful hospitality, warm greeting. It is a real treat to visit Davidoff if you get the chance.

It is a great pleasure to watch your presentations. As said below, more would be better. The English gentleman is unmatched for style and grace. Ideally Eddie and Edward interviewing His Majesty King Charles III would go viral. I think he would fit in well with your relaxed matter. Probably wouldn't indulge but he could talk of Bertie. Cheers from thee land of Draconian smoking laws, Canada.

These gents can talk about literally nothing and the vibe alone makes you forget all your troubles True class

700 bones for an umbrella???? Hooven shmooven

Love your videos, one observation, it’s may be time to add a couple of more comfortable chairs, and replace Edwards red dining table chair

7:20 coffee ❤

What an extraordinary name I love it

Such a royal treat watching the Sahakians , always enjoy a fine cigar while I watch the video. What a great way to end my day , cheers !

In canada, your cigars are extremely hard to find. Luckily I found a dealer with a limited supply. I'll be trying your no.2 and 2000 cigars soon. I truly hope I will enjoy the no.2 as much as you two do.

Can’t wait to enjoy this one with a stogie on Monday!

Finally a new video!!!! I was beginning to think I would never feel fancy again. I just love the passion and pleasure they portray from what they do. Keep it up gentlemen!

Brilliant

I love these videos, so relaxing, mellow and interesting 😊

Happy holidays and may the wishes be returned to you 100 fold

Eddie and edward are just pure ASMR i could listen to you guys talk about anything. Merry Christmas from ireland

Great video. Would love to see some pairing suggestion videos from you both. 👍

What a Beauty! What's the price on this collection?

Starting a petition to change the Davidoff intro to a DuPont ping, hopefully there’s no copyright infringements but I feel it would be fitting

My two favourite tobacconist’s talking about my favourite subject after cigars alcohol, cheers fellas

When I think Caribbean rum, I think an Island rum. Tjis more a South or Latin American rum as mentioned.

What an interesting man, thank you gents

I waited so for a new Video with you guys. Thanks!

Glad to see another video from you two. Missing your group videos with the Foulkes.

Greetings from the best state in America, Oklahoma! It's always a joy to see another video from the Sahakians.

Thank you for another fantastic welcome into your lives. I enjoy a Glayva with a cigar. A beautiful whiskey based drink.

Great video,if i may suggest professional lighting specially were your filming that would make it so much elegant,sophisticated so much better.

Thank you gentlemen for a fantastic video. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Always wanted to visit your shop so I called in on Tuesday whilst on a day trip to London. Bought a Romeo y Julieta No3. I might be one of your poorest customers but it was a pleasure to be in your shop having watched your videos, such a lovely shop and very friendly staff, thank you.

Please do more long form content like this.

Please can make weekly videos it’s my highest pleasure to listen to my two favourite gentleman in the world ❤

I had the pleasure of meeting and purchasing some cigars that were hand rolled in front of me by your only female master roller. Forgive me …I do not remember her name but I believe her and her husband were master rollers from Nicaragua for Davidoff. Great evening.

Hi Michael from Ontario Canada and I love davidoff products

Hello gentlemen, I'm Gus from Cuba, a faithful follower of yours.

I'm still just a simple man. I see a video with the Sahakians, I watch.

La classe 💫

so happy you made another video 🎉

I love your videos! Perfect timing for me to hit KZbin!

Not to be rude here but his tie knot is ruining Eddie's charming face. Please change to Four-in-hand or half winsor. Thanks for information of cigar. It is fascinating to learn about them.

so cool.

It is a real privilege t work with your father and spend most time of your daily hours with him. ENJOY it.

How much does a 30+ cigar cost. If you don’t mind me asking.

Eddie : what a dude! I would love you to do an appreciation of tailoring vid!

1. Introduction • The speaker delves into the art of aging cigars, a subject learned from his father, Edward, a renowned cigar expert. • Focuses on the motivations for aging Cuban cigars, distinguishing them from non-Cuban productions. 2. Why Age Cigars? • Flavor Enhancement: Aging softens and harmonizes the flavor profile, reducing harshness. • Chemical Transformation: Ongoing micro-fermentation alters the cigar’s chemistry over time. • Complexity Development: Leads to more refined and complex flavors as the cigar matures. 3. Characteristics of Young vs. Aged Cigars • Young Cigars: Flavor Profile: Spicy, peppery, vigorous on the palate. • Physical Impact: Strong nicotine content can cause a noticeable effect. • Aged Cigars: Flavor Profile: Softer notes like wood, vanilla, caramel, and pronounced tannins. • Experience: More subtle and complex, akin to the nuances found in vintage champagne. 4. Stages of Aging • 3-5 Years: Noticeable improvement; flavors begin to harmonize. • 10-15 Years: Significant transformation; spices give way to softer notes. • 20+ Years: Entering the “magical third fermentation,” offering a unique and profound experience. 5. Selecting Cigars for Aging • It’s challenging to predict which cigars will age well. • Advice: Age cigars you already enjoy to increase the likelihood of satisfaction after aging. 6. Recognizing Over-Aged Cigars • Signs include a lack of flavor, tasting like dry leaves. • However, cigars can go through a “fallow period” and may improve if aged longer. 7. Aging and Value • Aging can increase a cigar’s value, especially rare or discontinued ones. • Caution: Value appreciation should be secondary to personal enjoyment. 8. How to Age Cigars Properly • Humidity: Store at lower relative humidity (63-65%) to prevent mold and over-humidification. • Temperature: Keep at cooler temperatures (12-14°C or 53-57°F) to slow aging and prevent pests. • Ventilation: Ensure proper airflow to avoid stale aromas and mold growth. • Preparation for Smoking: Before smoking, acclimate cigars to a slightly higher humidity and temperature. 9. Handling and Smoking Aged Cigars • Cutting: Use a sharp cutter carefully; consider a punch cut for brittle wrappers. • Lighting: Use a gentle flame to prevent charring; aged cigars are more combustible. • Enjoyment: Savor the nuanced flavors; pair with aged spirits or wines to complement the experience. 10. Cuban vs. Non-Cuban Cigars • Cuban Cigars: Benefit significantly from aging due to ongoing micro-fermentation. • Non-Cuban Cigars: Initially thought not to require aging, but can also improve over long periods, albeit more subtly. 11. Aging in Tubes and Cellophane • Tubes: Act as time capsules, slowing down aging and preserving freshness. • Cellophane: Similar effect but less pronounced; both protect against physical damage 12. Pre-Revolution Cigars • Unique Tobacco: Use different species affecting longevity and flavor. • Collectibility: Sought after for distinct profiles and legal transport into certain countries. 13. Recommended Resource • Book: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars by Min Ron Nee. • Considered a seminal work on Cuban cigars and aging. 14. Conclusion • Aging cigars is a personal and rewarding practice that enhances flavor and potentially value. • Encourages cigar enthusiasts to trust their senses and preferences. • Invites further questions and engagement on the topic.

I don't even bother with $5 umbrellas and this gentleman has me pulling up the fox website and selecting one. Well done Eddie, well done.

This man could make a dish cloth sound desirable lol. Amazing charm.

I purchased a box of anniversaries #1 in Germany in the early '90s. It had a sliding lid and 10 wooden tubes with a cigar in each one of them. Still have some of the tubes and the box, but no cigars in that one. I do have the new box though with the single tube. Awesome cigar, perfect with eggs in the morning.
