I've got a great story for you, Kirby. A few years ago, I went on a cruise. I am a female, who enjoys a decent cigar once in a while. On the cruise ship, I noted the location of the ship's library so I could check it out. One evening, I was not particularly appropriately dressed for it, but I went to the library. Dark burl wood, loads of books, of course, leather sofa, Persian rugs, the whole 9. There were a few gentlemen and a couple of ladies who were indulging in some very nice cigars. I purchased a $17 cigar, and sat talking with them about any and everything. I'm from a poor family, and I'm still pretty poor, but this cruise was paid for by a good friend. I was in awe at how comfortable I was, sitting and chatting with more "well-to-do" people than I was accustomed to. I believe I was born in the wrong period of time, and in the wrong geographical location. Thank you for this video, Mr. Allison! Brought back fond memories, to say the least.

But, I also made a point of visiting many of the top tobacconists including Davidoff, Robert Graham, James J Fox (the choice shop of Churchill, and also having another location in Harrods). All were fantastic, particularly visiting from the US and the ability to obtain unlimited Cuban's, or as 'unlimited' as your wallet allows for $30+++ dollar cigars! To be sure, as this video shows, Davidoff's was the premiere shop. A must see while in London as a cigar lovers 'mecca'.

I also bought a box of Behike 56's and while excellent, they weren't as good as the 1996 Robustos I have been aging in my humidor.

You know he was freaking out when he started sticking his nose on the sticks. My only problem with this video is the consistency of quality in cubans and the quality of non Cubans. I myself prefer the taste of a Cuban cigar and my collection in 80/20 with 80% being cuban. I have received sticks from vendors in terrible quality. It all resulted from the same brand, which ironically is my favorite(RYJ). They’re is no consistency in good quality in today’s market. I am not buying any less though. Cuba also purposely controls the market. There can be two cigars with the same flavor profile and of the same brand. Cuba will slap a regional exclusive band on it and jack the price up x2 and it sells. Also with non Cubans you can be sure that your cigars will be aged before you get them. When you buy Cubans you will see green specks in the leaf and it will show you how green the sticks really are. There is a very high demand for cuban tobacco and not enough to stock. You will NEVER buy a Cuban cigar that says “aged 15 years” like you will on a box of Fuentes. 3 years for Cuba is considered aged anything longer you’re going to pay a substantial premium. None of this is to bash cuban brands. I’ve been to the island a few times and love Cuba. Just know if you’re in the us and buying cuban bands online be careful and age them for at least 4 months to acclimate them to your climate.

I'm surprised to hear Sahakian state the quality consistency of Cohiba. It's been quite a number of years since I abandoned Cohiba because of extreme inconsistency issues. From basic wrapper color variations in a box to a significant portion of cigars in a box being unsmokeable due to construction issues, burn issues and general quality control issues. Perhaps not so egregious in an eight dollar cigar, but when each cigar is costing you $35, I'm expecting much higher quality.
@PhatPhrank2 жыл бұрын

@@PhatPhrank In my case, I tend to purchase from known and reputable sources, so counterfeit is not the issue. I have found that Cubans purchased from places like Puro Express or Duty Free can vastly differ in quality from those sourced from places like Dalay or Gerard. Even within the realm of Cubans, I shy away from Cohibas because they've been so consistently inconsistent and represent a poor value for the money.

My favorite pairing when I was a young buck: Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 and Lucky Strike. Now, it's Laphroaig & English/Balkin tobacco blends with Latakia. Although, I'm still chasing that first Arturo Fuente Opus X experience after I quit cigarettes and transitioned to cigars.

Haha. Dunhill makes some great cigars, also! Much more difficult to find, though. Davidoff has pretty wide distribution here in the United States.

@@kirbyallison Dunhill cigars are not good like Davidoff cigars...when was cuban made they was both top quality,but now Dunhill is not more the same.

Just found this channel and I can’t stop watching. So relaxing to watch and informative. Does anyone know if I buy Cuban cigars in the UK, can I bring them back to the USA or does that fall under the import ban?

You'd think Eddie would come off as being a bit of a snob, but once he gets going, he's awesome to listen to and gets you very engaged. Kirkby, good job on asking good questions and letting him speak. There's nothing worse than having someone interrupt an answer.

I’ll have to visit London more frequently, being from the USA I don’t quite know what it is like to walk in a cigar shop and purchase Cubans.

Tahir Shazaib Really, how do you go about that (assuming they are not counterfeits) ?
@Shazaibt5 жыл бұрын
Ready Now&Forever well, I guess you can never be a 100% sure as I didn’t look extremely carefully at the packaging and all of that, but you can search for counterfeit vs real on the net and spot the differences, that way when you buy you’ll which one it is. I was in Miami and happened to go past a B&M cigar shop, they had Cohibas, Montecristo, and a few other Cubans. I also saw cohibas in the duty free at the airport.

I am not sure if I should be happy or angered, but these videos inspired me to soak the puck in my lucite Lino humidor. Oh boy, just what I need. It had a couple of old Cuban cigars in it... a Habana and a Montecristo.

Well, its because of this channel (and Eddie) that i got into cigars. I usually get these ones called Leather Rose. Yes, they're cheap-ish. But, i like them. They're an enjoyable smoke, and the smell isn't overpowering afterward. I'm looking to try some other (better) ones eventually. They go really well with Kaiyo whiskey, to my pallette anyway.
