[@ghostfakekiller4201]

Not true! they've never led an invasion or tried to steal anyones land or belongings. Don't insult the Eddies like that.

I stopped by Davidoff on a recent trip and introduced myself to Eddie S. He was sitting in a chair like the spot in the video, we had a short and friendly chat. Eddie was just the gentleman you see. Best wishes to all for a better 2023

[@dominicduran6986]

I'm new to cigars. I just smoked cigarettes when I was in the service and it stuck with me after I got out and I hated the smell on my clothes and fingers. Then went to vaping and we'll looks embarrassing as hell puffing on those things. Then my supervisor introduced me to cigars and now we have humidor in our office and different types of cigars. They smell great! You don't look like an idiot smoking them, and it's a nice calming ritual instead of just lighting it and not paying attention to the craftsmanship and smells and taste. I love them. And I've learned a lot from this channel the past couple of months and it's changed the way I light the cigars it's amazing! So thank you!

[@badboymorales]

I've seen this video like 10 times. Idk what it is but they're voices are so calming. Edwards, Eddy's voice and smarts are bar none

[@thomaslyons7468]

Upsetting that Eddie talks of how little money flows back to the makers yet Kirby instantly interrupts him and changed the conversation. As a communist country it’s difficult to do much about this as a consumer but would be great to hear more of this from Eddie

[@christianastl2435]

Eddie is a good guy

[@samsham8218]

Indeed.

[@survivalSC]

Ok the cigar companies are owned by the government. So if it was a private company the workers are still only paid a wage. Yes it’s government owned it’s sad but in the end it’s not going to stop any of us from buying these beautiful cigars. It’s just life

[@caractacuspotts680]

Agreed. I would have loved to hear Eddie's thoughts on that subject, and have it discussed at some length.

[@thomaslyons7468]

@@survivalSC You are right but where you work for a company you have a government enforcing a minimum wage (speaking for the UK) that protects you and then your employer sets above that. There are also unions the help to fight for better pay. In Cuba they are only able to accept what they are given and there is no one to protect them. I do agree it will not stop people from buying cigars, myself included, however if you are therefore going to participate in the industry its desirable to at least educate one self to have greater understanding and respect for the product you have.

[@alexanderd.9460]

The relationship between Edward and his son is incredibly admirable. I wish I had the pleasure of such a relationship with my father, but I will have to settle for trying to achieve being a father like Edward. Cheers Indeed to Edward, Eddie...and of course you as well, Kirby!

[@jamesernestj]

After watching every one of these videos over the last few years I’ve grown fond of this shop. But I’ve never even set foot in it, or met either of the Sahakians in person. So that must be rectified, this spring I’ve decide to fly to London for the first time and visit this great shop! Thanks for the inspiration Kirby and all your wonderful content!

[@ianm6155]

I visited just before Xmas and was served by eddie after a chat about the videos and answering some questions I was turned towards the hoyo de monterrey petit rabusto for my first cigar but I got the davidoff number 2 and made the number 2 my first smoke. But hoyo is now my go to brand an amazing recommendation from eddie

[@davidthedawg6905]

These series should happen more often - I cannot get enough of them. Simple and elegant conversations by amazing gentleman. These series are my most favorite to watch, no movie, show or other tv series can beat them. Kirby has to move to London 😄

[@kokukonu578]

Good day. I don't smoke, have zero inclination to do so, and so will probably never experience the rarefied pursuit I'm watching. Notwithstanding, my appreciation of their grace, candour and humility knows no bounds. Next time I'm in London I will visit and observe Davidoff...albeit from the outside. Regards.

Watching Edward and Eddie interact makes me miss my late father. We too, worked together and enjoyed many good times

[@God-Almighty]

Your father told me to let you know he's got a cigar already lit waiting for you. God bless you 🙏

[@buddo21]

I absolutely fangirled with my other half the other day. We were having breakfast at Francos across the road from Davidoff. Said I would have to visit one day to purchase as there was a chance to meet Eddie or indeed Edward. As we walk in Eddie walks through the door just in front of us to deliver some gifts to the shop. Seemed as much of a gentleman then as in any of these videos. And furthered my resolve to visit and purchase in the shop!

[@TheLycan238]

A fantastic memory of course. Do certainly action that desire to visit Davidoff perhaps in 2023. I think it's great that Franco's gets a lot of mentions on Kirby's Davidoff videos. Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2023 to you.

[@haraldsulzmann3893]

It's always so great listen to Kirby Allison and the Sahakians. Learning about cigars and the fine taste surrounding them. An hour is running like nothing and I never get bored. By the way. I like Edward's humor when he tells Kirby at the beginning that his voice is "quiet sexy".

[@dbgmediainc7506]

What I learned from watching this video is not necessarily anything about Cuban cigars, but mainly a reminder of how much more we need to appreciate what we have today,to enjoy what we have today,to value the time that we have today. I was born in 1985 in Cuba and can not tell you how many times I had cigars like this in my hands when grand parents and or neighbors were smoking them. I thought very little of it and never gave much importance to it,only have memories of family gatherings and birthday parties. To imagine I would find this video 25 years later where someone across the world appreciates and value so much an item( for lack of better word) we had taken for granted then. Not even cubans can get their hands anymore on cigars even remotely close to the quality of what's shown in this video today.

[@davidoswald5749]

The Dorian Gray of cigars! Oh Edward, you are a national treasure most definitely; Another fantastic episode with the Sahakian's, you will never see me miss an episode with these Gentlemen.

[@superfast30]

Keep doing what you're doing, Kirby. Even though cigars and fine clothing are not my primary interests, your enthusiasm and the quality of your content makes it very enjoyable to watch and Ive learned quite a bit. Heck, I enjoy watching your channel more than some channels that cater to my primary interests(watches and cars). Quality, craftsmanship and tradition is even more relevant today than ever. Your videos with the Sahakian's are pure class!

[@kirbyallison]

Couldn’t agree more!! Thank you for watching and commenting!

I need to agree with you! As much as I like the aesthetic of function and love to see properly functional parts of cars, watches, or any machinery I really miss the fine quality, the elegance of them. Thank you for keeping the tradition alive and showing us a world that has a much more wide variety to live within one life.
