Cuba Day 3: A Dream Realized - First Cigar with Edward and Eddie Sahakian in Havana, Cuba!!

[@MTinnin1]

The Sahakian's are perfect gentlemen. The Clothes. The Manners. The Right Language. Showing Emotions. True Friends.

[@kirbyallison]

They are singular. That is for sure!

[@rob7819]

Pure class and sophistication

[@TadRaunch]

Eddie is one of the coolest coolest guys I've ever seen. Respect for his friends and his father. Handsome, rich, but also humble. I love watching these three guys.

[@theodosios2615]

I've never seen them get angry. Or even mildly irritated.

[@Zerocool215]

Wonderful episode. I’m a huge fan of every gentleman showcased Huzzah. Johnny wajda Philadelphia

[@zoobee]

smoking cigars with the Sahakians in Cuba is what heaven must look like to Kirby, and we're delighted to be able to eavesdrop. Exemplary gentlemen and raconteurs.

[@nathanhawee5373]

Really!!! That's no joke, I would absolutely dig to sit down with the 3 of them. Have a cigar and just get to know them a little bit. What a lucky guy.

[@kirbyallison]

Indeed, this was a moment of arrival for me and all of you are invited to light a cigar and join along!

[@christopherkeller5263]

It’s funny, so much clickbait these days on KZbin, but nothing beats three true gentlemen enjoying a cigar. Enjoyable to watch, cheers to you all 🍷

[@bg-nm1qf]

How did he Kirb his enthusiasm ?

[@jeremz9066]

Kirby's Cuba series proves to be truly delightful. The enjoyment of exquisite cigars, coupled with the eloquent expressions of the esteemed Edward and Eddie, adds a profound touch to the experience.

[@kirbyallison]

And we still have loads to go! It only gets better!

[@therealcountrybumpkin]

@@kirbyallisonglad to know it’s gets better. Communism working out for the rest of the Cuban people?

[@MR_Robbers]

Kirby, the wonderful comment you made to Edward; "He has the wisdom of both you and his Mother...", and then going with the Bohike, with Edwards blessing :) was perfect. Gents all around. Cheers

[@Music.cigars.2024]

As a grown man and a hardened person. These gentlemen are very very elegant and proper. Brings tears to my eyes in a good way ❤ I’m very impressed and humbled just from watching these 3 gentlemen talk about cigars. I’m genuinely grateful to have the privilege Much love and positivity from Texas USA

[@moorshound3243]

Sat in my shed smoking a por larranaga in Somerset England while watching this, one day to be in such a place with such gentleman would be a dream.

[@shahnj1797]

I can listen to these gentlemen all day long.

[@Bethethird]

Sir Kirby, you along with the Sahakians are bringing back Class to a world that has forgotten about it. Thank you! it's always satisfying to watch and hear you guys converse, respectfully, friendly and passionately. Love this series!

[@kirbyallison]

Trying my best!

[@frankebarberena]

As someone who’s Cuban-born and raised in the US, I don’t have much of an opportunity through American mainstream channels to see my island portrayed in as beautiful a light as this. Political and economic issues aside, Cuba is a beautiful place with even more beautiful people and I believe you truly honored that! Thank you!

[@kirbyallison]

couldn't agree more! Thank you for your comment!

[@juliovaldes1377]

I’m glad to see people world wide enjoy the staple of my people!! I was born in Havana, I was raised with the men in my family smoking cigars all around me and now as a man myself and in the United States I smoke a cigar and think about my grandfather in Cuba and my father and it helps me bring back memories. True fact about my family from my mother’s side, my great grandfather worked for Menéndez and Garcia and helped them manage a factory where they grew the crops for H.Upmans.. so safe to say Cuban cigars run through my veins.

[@cdbaz]

Love the collab as always with the Sahakians, I went to Davidoff of London and met Eddie and he was so friendly, even to the point of kindly offering to take a pic with me in the famous chairs, will always remember the hospitality and friendly manner, true gentleman

[@kirbyallison]

True gentlemen!

[@frederickcarlisle3295]

I can think of no better content while enjoying a fine cigar. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.

[@nathanhawee5373]

Definitely I always have a cigar when I watch Kirby or Foulks and sons. There is other content with Nick perdomo, or Carlito Fuente and Eddie and Edward sahakiean (slaughtered that I'm sure). But Kirby combines them all in one place. Phenomenal videos

[@CharmanderShimmy]

Another smooth, relaxing & great watch! Thank you Kirby

[@kirbyallison]

Glad you enjoyed it! More to come!!

[@mambicubano7303]

Nothing better than a good coffee while smoking a Habano

[@d_15745]

not only is Eddie such a class act but I find him very funny 11:37 and charismatic. All 3 of you are true gentlemen!

[@dougowen9873]

Kirby: what a great comradery you are having there I felt like I was sitting there enjoying a fine hand made cigar and enjoying the conversation among cherished friends. I was pleasantly surpised at your take on long sleeve shirts being cooler. I have always thought the same. Wonderful series, well worth the wait.

[@kirbyallison]

I am glad you were able to join us! Hopefully sometime in person soon!

[@DaddyEZ545]

Wow! What a pleasure ❤ amazing moment in time. Thank you. Learn so much each time we watch. ☮️ ❤️

[@sgt0331able]

This is the main event to which i was waiting for!

[@kirbyallison]

It’s here! But more to come!

[@huntsman7134]

Enjoyed a HDM Epi 2 whilst watching this simply wonderful video. Thank you Kirby and Sahakians 🙏

[@kirbyallison]

Glad you enjoyed it! Amazing cigar! I’m jealous!

[@Chrisin757]

I love the Cuban series and these Saturday releases were a great addition to the end of my work week. Thank you Kirby.

[@kirbyallison]

Thank you for watching! More great content to come! We’re not even half way through!

[@jonahb2149]

Thank you thank you thank you Kirby and the Sahakians to the tribute to the beauty of Cuban cigars.

[@NISSANZ33]

Everyone looks so relaxed! What a great experience to capture

[@garythompson400]

I really can't get enough of this trio. Such a wealth of knowledge, class, & kindness.

[@johannvassilopoulos3828]

This saga have become my favorite... Gents as it can be.

[@jv_iking1712]

Superb, gentlemen 👏👏👏 I’m loving this series Kirby, many thanks for sharing…it’s always an absolute pleasure to spend time in the company of you three fine gentlemen, with or without a cigar…🥂

[@kirbyallison]

Very kind! Thank you!

[@mambicubano7303]

Cuba is proud of their presence, it is an honor for our Havana to have them. . Thank you por darle a nuestro Habanos el lugar que merecen.🙏👍💪🇨🇺

[@andrewdemetrioumusic7586]

The way Edward and Eddie just leant forward together when Kirby got his cigars out was the most amazing display of passion, respectful passion, two gentlemen can show. They love and respect every part of the process of cigar enjoyment, from the conception, to the production, to just staring at a selection together, and deciding which tobacco to enjoy first. What a bond to run through a family, amazing.

[@janwoodtli3500]

Kirby smokes almost a Behike 54 while Edward enjoys the last third of his El Principe, simply brilliant!!!!😂

[@kirbyallison]

Haha.

[@6282rain]

This is such a lovely Occasion of Gentlemen discussing Cigars and enjoying each others company in such a great place. Merry Christmas to all

[@kirbyallison]

This is, at it's core, what smoking a fine cigar is all about: great friends and great conversation. I am glad you were able to enjoy it with us! Hopefully while, too, enjoying a cigar!

[@Ian-lm1py]

Every time these three gents sit down together and talk about cigars it's just pure class. Perfect video to watch when relaxing outside on a summer evening with a cigar. Fantastic 👌🏻

[@kirbyallison]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rafaeldiamantino8643]

Beautiful Kirby, just beautiful!!

[@kirbyallison]

You’re very kind!

[@aegisltd2018]

Absolutely beautiful content @Krby Allison. What a pleasure to watch. 😊

[@kirbyallison]

Very kind! Thank you!

[@MrYoohootuber]

This series has been worth the wait. Edward has such fascinating past and a great story teller. He really should publish a memoir.

[@kirbyallison]

And there is more to come! It only gets better.

[@stbroker1]

Again loved it! Thank you for sharing your trip and so much knowledge about the Cuban cigars.

[@syedmuneeruddin328]

First time watching Mr. Eddie off a suit, and honestly, this man can pull off anything, I bet he looks magnificent and elegant even in the pyjamas. One of my fashion icons! God bless Eddie.

[@jeffreymiller6116]

Nice Video.. Well put together and I love going to Cuba 3 times a year .. Breaks up the winters nicely...

[@charlzinho_911]

The relationship Edward has with his son Eddie is the kind of relationship I aspire to have with my son, I hope I am able to cut a cap, toast up and sit back and just have a good conversation about cigars, the world and culture and all kinds of topics with my son one day. Edward summed it up perfectly, “a bond of friendship”

[@tonywilliams7391]

Wonderful to watch and listen to these fine gentleman, I totally understand that smoking a Cuban cigar in Cuba has no parallels! I’m looking forward to the small bar at the fort in Havana which it’s name I’ve forgotten to enjoy such a thing. I’d like to discover other bars where you can smoke indoors to truly experience the wonders that sharing a Cuban cigar can bring. Thank you Kirby your channel does make me smile.

[@normastanley5853]

This one of Kirbys best videos very informative..It also a fun watch which is relaxing.. I smoked one of my Cohiba cigars this morning as I do every morning that is until I run out.. Good interview guys....

[@kirbyallison]

Glad you enjoyed it! What's been yoru favorite video of the series so far?

[@BoyleJr]

Going to light my Dads last Montecristo no4 and watch this trio of true gents who we both enjoy and enjoyed watching.

[@gavinburt3750]

What a great series this so far. I’m sat here with a D4 hoping there are many more episodes to come. Fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

[@kirbyallison]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@AndrewArcher-n6e]

Another great video, Kirby. Thank you for sharing !

[@kirbyallison]

Glad you enjoyed it! More to come! Make sure you’re subscribed! Thanks for commenting!!

[@ChristopherHiggins-v2r]

This kind of friendship is golden

[@kirbyallison]

Indeed. One of life's greatest treasures.

[@alholdway2003]

I liked how the father's cigar was almost finished but he didn't waste any of it. The father made the last quarter of the cigar last 50 minutes. I pulled a small muscle in my back smoked a cigar while watching and learning from this video. My cigar didn't heal the pulled muscle but it took the pain away. Being outside on a hot day has a beneficial sauna detox effect. Cold exposure has a invigorating effect that converts body fat into energy. Thanks for sharing

[@kirbyallison]

Edward is a notoriously slow smoker... he really knows how to savor his cigar.

[@jesperjohansson9594]

What a good start on a sunday morning

[@mz.foodie6951]

I was able to purchase a box of the Cohiba Behike 52 in Varadaro, Cuba back in October of 2013 and I agree, it was a wonderful smoke. Mr. Allison, I love your channel.

[@kirbyallison]

Thank you!

[@nikolajovicic174]

The skill of a videographer is simply amazing. Everything just seems to flow and it must have been a challenge to bring all the gear to Cuba, especially if it's only one person doing all the work!

[@kirbyallison]

You’re very kind! The work in the editing is often even more difficult than the filming! Great job on all accounts.

[@kirbyallison]

@@Kenny-yl9pcYou’d be surprised all that goes into something seemingly so simple and how easy it is to mess something like that up.

[@lsolus6613]

Anyone who knows what to look for can see these pieces come together in the editing room and in spite of the videography.

[@kirbyallison]

@@lsolus6613 Haha. Indeed. The unsung hero’s are the editors. Videographers have to do great work, but their mistakes are tended to by the editors while they move onto the next project.

[@antonego9581]

@@Kenny-yl9pc actually, as a professional editor, it's these simple long scenes that are by far the most difficult to do WELL. its easy to throw something together that's passable, but making it really flow is very tricky. Whereas the fancy stuff is actually kind of easy once you know what you are doing.

[@MrModmustang]

My goodness what exquisitely rich content. The fact that you have a cigar that a Sahakian had not encountered previously is utterly stupendous. Bravo ..👏. 👏 I'm enjoying a God of fire KKP Special Reserve while watching this.

[@kirbyallison]

Very rare! Probably the only one in existence. 😅

[@GameGritTV]

@@kirbyallison True brotherhood is hard to come by. I've been out the military a few years and I haven't been able to replicate that connection among peers who share the same passion for cigars or just living to the fullest. So I thank you for sharing your world sir.

[@LUIGIRACER69]

Great conversation and such awesome gentleman.

[@kirbyallison]

The Sahakians are the best and I relish any opportunity to get the two of them together. As part of this series, we have another very exciting episode that is a walking tour with the three of us! Stay tuned!

[@pankinyek]

Kirby, they have treated you to soooooo many cigars! Why do you never return the favor? Why don't you offer them a cigar?

[@OrdafloTradoor]

you probably have no idea how much money Kirby made for them

[@pankinyek]

@OrdafloTradoor And what about endless amount of content they allowed him to create, in the around the world famous Davidoff of London?

[@RonanOBrien-s5z]

He gives them lots of exposure

[@SurvivalAussie]

His relationship with these guys does'nt stop, when the camera's stop rolling. How on earth would you know how many times Kirby has offered them cigars?
