Cigar Keep: Tom Chamberlin speaks with Eddie Sahakian

Tom Chamberlin speaks to the dauphin of London cigars, Eddie Sahakian, and gets the full story of his life in cigars, and discuss the much discussed topic of cigars as an asset class and what to be smoking at the moment.

[@tengl41824]

Eddie is an entire vibe unto himself. Needs his own tv show

[@nickpapageorgio4944]

Totally agree. He needs to have his own channel. The demand is growing by the day in my opinion.

[@joshualawn8721]

I agree, his own channel, and or narrate some audio books, haha.

[@a661992]

Find him on instagram

[@Rynenocerous]

facts

[@LVZKV]

i always watch Eddie baked, he has a very relaxing aura

[@NorfTec]

After discovering Kirby Allison a couple of years back, then the Sahakians, then the Foulkes, I could not be happier that Tom has created a channel. A meet up of all of them would be spectacular

[@NicoleCB]

That is exactly the same order in which I discovered these charming connoisseurs.

[@ThrashMetal669]

Anyone reading through this thread show both kirby and the sahakians some love on there channels and in busin

[@AXXeYY]

hahaha same

[@fiqaaljafri5887]

I'm on the same path

[@WesD85]

Eddie should start a podcast, can listen to him talk for hours. Proper gentleman

[@richardmorgan3974]

In a messed up world, this is absolute gold.

[@Fellowrser]

Eddie Sahakian is like a lake in a Barron desert! One simply can’t get enough of he and his fathers joy professionalism kindness and pure class thanks for putting out fantastic content Tom, class act as always!

[@alexanderhikel2350]

Eddie is a legend he once said smoke less but smoke the best , some of the best cigar advice I ever heard

[@flutonubran294]

that quote is actually from a doctor who helped them run their shop way back in the day if I remember correctly. It was written on a humidor he gifted to the Sahakians and it goes something like this ""Eat less but eat the best, drink less but drink the best - and smoke less but smoke Davidoff." Please, correct me if I'm wrong, I only hope this clarifies things a bit.

[@andrewmillership4274]

This man oozes class

[@genxingit1472]

I feel like the world would be a much better place if there were more Edward Sahakians. A person can learn so much about human interaction by watching Eddie and his father.

[@dirtyunclehubert]

how to be never unprofessional, for instance. i always get a certain coldness, not to say "arrogance" from eddie. emotional distance. so basically, even if you were the worst slob and totally obnoxious - he would never NOT serve you with all his expertise in your endeavour to find the perfect cigar, he would never let his personal feelings show and thus he would never be unprofessional. thats not a bad thing at all. its selfcontrol and the perfect attitude for retail / business.

[@russ9921]

@@dirtyunclehubertWhile your interpretation of his professional approach is accurate, if you met Eddie, you’d not find him at all arrogant or cold. It is, actually, him showing respect - he has respect for you as the actual or potential customer and has respect for your opinions, even if he disagrees with them (though he never would openly show that disagreement). It’s a charming trait.

[@espinozajames]

I can't seem to get enough. I'm falling in love with the lifestyle, cigars and cordiality (something we need more of).

[@kdworak4754]

Likewise. Cheers

[@musicgems1726]

Eddie is so chill, peaceful, amazing demeanor.

[@d_15745]

Eddie seems like such a genuine and amazing person. What a charismatic gentleman!

[@pluto517]

Just stumbled across this - what a lovely conversation - thanks for allowing me to be a fly on the wall.

[@F8Tributo]

Sophisticated stuff! I speak better after listening to Eddie! He's an ambassador not only of fine cigars, but also of proper English enunciation!

[@alejandromalave6781]

This two gentleman are my inspiration, I admire you🎩🌹

[@rupert9891]

I have never smoked a proper cigar in my life, but after bingeing on Eddie Sahakian and Kirby Allison videos in the past few days I am going to buy a few cigars from Davidoff London and see where this takes me.

[@mr.joshuah1412]

Wise decision

[@money1968]

It’s not good for you

[@mr.joshuah1412]

@@money1968 So is soda, but ppl drink it all the time.

[@cravenmoorecock5267]

Start with Connecticut wrapped cigars and nothing too long or narrowed gauged. A robusto will allow you to take your time and avoid the cigar getting too hot and thus becoming bitter/acrid. Enjoy taking your time with the cigars- they aren’t cigarettes. They enjoy patience and time.

[@colinjarvis5935]

Its not bad for you in moderation. Its not cigarettes where you smoke 10 or 20 every day and draw the smoke into your lungs. Michael Jordan smoked cigars every day in his prime and still does. My grandfather smoked cigars until his late 80s, and cigars didnt kill him

[@timstort8223]

Eddie lives live in such an elegant relaxed way it seems even through just seeing him in these videos. Good on ya mate!

[@bencrust4516]

My favorite person the one person who got me smoking..mr.Eddie sahakian himeself what a delight🎉

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Modesty, charm, style. I could listen to Eddie or his dad all day.

[@hddm3]

Eddie is the man! Love him and his dad. Would love to visit their shop someday! Cheers

[@guitarplayer5611]

Eddie is a true gentleman! May I suggest an interview with his father Edward.

[@TheLycan238]

A truly wonderful idea and one Tom should give the utmost attention to.

[@Petarkruzevksi]

The reason I enter cigar world is Eddie,and I hope one day I will shake his hand in his shop

[@davidpujol9910]

I´m so happy that I joined cigar keep. It´s a place other than a website, where to feel comfortable and understood.

[@jaylittle7192]

Eddie.. the suit is divine! You are the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby!

[@timstort8223]

Eddie is such a class act, love him and his father, class acts

[@_Timo1]

Don't get me wrong, Cuban cigars are fantastic, but in my opinion (and experience), Nicaraguan cigars are currently the best quality. There are soooo many fantastic cigar companies using Nicaraguan leaf. My personal favorites are CrownHeads & Tatuaje.

[@markmccavanagh2626]

The legend Eddie, great interview brilliant watch 💯🙏 @belfast 🙏

[@leandrolimeres]

Thank you for this Tom! What a pleasure to be part of this community and be able to drink from the water of both you and Eddie's knowledge and passion!

[@kennyramsey4555]

It's like Kirby had his own series, but now we've got these spin offs. But this is very enjoyable in it's own right. Well done Tom

[@nealgarner6431]

A superb relaxing time with the most informative people in there field

[@NotstarvinMarvin]

This was a great talk, Eddie said some personal things about himself that i had never heard before. Cheers!

[@damienbridges8358]

Thanks for the quality cigar content and any chance to listen to Eddie discuss cigars is time well spent

[@sinosoc1]

Eddie's grace, mannerism, and demeanor is a virtue every person strives for but very few obtain.

[@luckycharms3504]

Rick Anderson here (I'd also like to think myself as a great American), but it's due to you (Eddie) and Kirby, that I started this journey into the wonderful wide world of cigars. Thank you indeed. And what a pleasure it is to watch this great conversation

[@josephgrigsby4394]

Proud to be the 777th person to like this fantastic conversation. Delightful accompaniment to my own cigar this evening. Thank you!

[@Kaitrader]

I love Eddie - so affable, and the consummate gentleman

[@jondough7823]

Love listening to Eddie talk!

[@_Timo1]

Eddie is a joy to listen to. Thank you Tom. You've got a new subscriber!

[@micahweekes]

As a student figuring out his career and coincidentally getting into cigars - I watched this at length and enjoyed all of it. I unexpectedly learned so much, and it was inspiring hearing about the struggles a man of such elegance and stature went through as a young student. Lovely video, and cheers from Canada.

[@PierrevonBaden]

Exiquist ! 100% Class. I really enjoyed this Video while having a Great Cigar. Eddie & Tom are are a perfect Match. Could listen bith for Hours.

[@SimplyTakuma]

Eddie is a great person, even when he is asking, he watches to you.

[@niallmurray9725]

Wonderful, I’ve seen Eddie talk about his cigar experiences a number of times lately. Not having visited Davidoff yet, I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head. His, and his fathers enthusiasm for the ‘subject’ and ethos in regard to customer service and the cigar smoking ‘ritual’ in general is contagious. I feel I may get hooked in a good way😉. Top interview 👏👏

[@russelldooley6262]

It is so nice hearing the spoken word in such a way. Thank you

[@NR-pn6mn]

I am here because i’m a huge fan of Eddie. By the way nice haircut Eddie! You look 1 year younger, in which makes you 21 years young! 🥂🇺🇸

[@ramoli1000]

One of the most stylish eloquent full of etiquettes.may be some day I get to meet this legend who has awesome knowledge about cigars.pls do write back few words so I can treasure them.thanks god bless

[@alexchavez8394]

What an awesome interview! Visiting the shop in London is on my bucket list.

[@mariomercado8708]

Greetings from Puerto Rico. We can’t legally aquire Cubans in my country as we are a US territory but..on my trip to London I was lucky to meet father and son, Ed and Eddie on thier Davidoff store. Needless to say I smoke my first proper cuban and got to be in thier presence. All I have learned about cutting and lighting plus cigar culture is from watching videos of the Sahakians. Many Thanks. My “new world” go to brand is Plascencia. I indulge with Davidoff and Arturo Fuentes. Perdomo also in my rotation.

[@hstevens2806]

is Eddie wearing a MoonSwatch Saturn? Love it!

[@MrLSB4ever]

Yes he is!

[@neilmcdonald3475]

Thank you for the very interesting and entertaining video Tom. It's always great to hear what Eddie has to say about the world of cigars. PS love the tapestry. Cheers.

[@MP-Fin]

Going to London in mid-november. Cannot wait to visit Davidoff!

[@effay83]

This is a brilliant interview. Eddie telling his life story was beautiful.

[@sugelanren]

My main 4 cigar brands that I own are Camacho Connecticut, Oliva O Connecticut reserve, Oliva V Melanio, and of course Davidoff signature 2000. Bought some Yamara to try while in Prague.

[@GrayMattr]

Always the upmost pleasure listening to Mr. Sahakian. Proper gent, and might I add that that suit he’s dawning is stunning.

[@hollywoodundead72]

Isn't this experience all that it's worth and more, truly impeccable

[@Joedirt3349]

No cigar but a blunt wrapper! Love a smoke and these gentlemen

Eddie, I love watching your videos. I've just started to enjoy the pleasure of a good cigar. Thank you for being such a good teacher. Cheers 😊😊😊

i can relate to this matches comment :) i also have a similar childhood ! Thanks for the video!

[@redshifttrucking4537]

Very enjoyable edition, thanks

[@phils3034]

If everyone in the world had the same demeanor as The Great Eddie Sahakian there would be no war on the planet.

[@alalmaoui5212]

The Sahakians are such gentlemen! Edward senior, and Eddie Junior are class act. Briton is very lucky to have such citizens on board.

[@georgehasan3397]

Amazing, thank you so much 🌹

[@Mltemple8333]

Great channel and as below. With Kirby Allison, the Sahakians and the Foulkes I now have another channel to enjoy. Cheers! Eddie as always is an eloquent, welcome listen on any channel.

[@James-ct3wc]

Wonderful interview

[@Everythinggutter]

Loved this episode, You and your dad are awesome. Love to see home you love your dad and how your talk about your dad. You seam like an amazing son any dad would be so proud of. Would love to see more of you and your dad and maybe Kirby 😊

[@MrPAULYPOOH]

I like the posh guy. 100% genuine. Can tell he was genuinely getting to the point of being tired.

[@kevinbutler9786]

Any time that I invite a friend to smoke cigars with me for the first time, I make them watch Eddie instructing how to light a cigar before we light up. It's required homework at this point.

[@russ9921]

What a lovely interview.

[@SuperBarnab]

Eddie is so great 👌

[@deciduousdiscipline9592]

Thanks, gents

[@scottmcalister4513]

Another cigar duet to envy, but I recognize that Eddie is a perfect catalyst for fun - and Tom is no slouch either - I would love to be in an ajoining club chair!

[@mehdihonar7644]

First time seeing video from Cigar Keep but would not be the last time. Indeed, interesting video and contents simply shows two persons with love of cigar smoking and talking.

[@Salamis.-330]

Brilliant stuff love it ❤

[@iDanielch]

Eddies is like Watching Bob Ross paint such a calming vibe

[@johnfiorvento6416]

I cut and light my cigars the way I do, BECAUSE of Eddie! It's a ritual for me now.

[@TheLycan238]

Indeed a truly wonderful point. While smoking a cigarette is a more short term pastime a cigar is a more involved experience or ritual as you put it. Even the conversation is more in depth with a cigar v cigarette.

[@gailsack2635]

A good cigar makes me smile and give me positive vibes. Perhaps it is because the cigar is well blended with the proper amount of ligero.

[@boyracer3000]

Thanks for the chat, I really enjoyed the conversational style of this video. Minor point but some of the audio was a bit quiet / muffled - just the odd word here and there though.

[@juliuscaesar3346]

Outstanding ❤️❤️💚💚👍👍

[@Crane925]

The only reason I watched this is for Eddie the other guy is a bit of well yeah love Eddie he definitely needs his own show I'm there 💯💯💯💯💯

[@jeffhreid]

Eddie is so gracious and charming. Seems like a nice fellow.

[@luischavez3501]

Great people Eddie and his father are. 🇦🇲 🇦🇲

Great video, thoroughly enjoyable. I have just subscribed. Kindest regards. PJ

[@DownAtThePier]

How is this for strange. I usually watch this in my deer stand or at the gun range. Lol, I love this channel, Kirby and Nick Foukles and sons.

[@MTMMoonlight]

Audio level should probably be 20% louder.

[@tyjameson7404]

Pure class 👍🙌⚡️👏❤️

[@gurtana]

Which cigar did Eddie say was his everyday smoke?

[@maetes]

It's a Punch - Short De Punch.

[@fiqaaljafri5887]

Eddie should start his own podcast channel 👍

[@nickmarciano1629]

Tom, keep at it!

[@fernandez3841]

Eddie is an absolute effing legend

[@carmina776]

Who made Eddie’s suit?

[@fhcool]

New & Lingwood I believe.
