you should look up the data on natural tobacco and nicotine... its not bad for you theres been no signs to show a real increase in cancer in people who are moderate smokers. moderate meaning 2-4 high quality cigars a day
@DameonRaye2 ай бұрын
(NOT HEALTH ADVICE) Agreeing with @amfam100 here, and while it depends on a lot of factors (primarily on your current health), there's very little evidence to suggest that smoking in relatively small quantities is permanently damaging to your overall health in significant ways. On a very basic level, inhaling smoke is not healthy for your lungs, but the content of the smoke itself, and the quantity you've inhaled, are the largest factors (which is why inhaling smoke from a building fire is significantly more devastating, as the contents of the smoke and the high heat do so much more damage to your lungs than smoking tobacco). What I do NOT recommend is buying brand name cigarettes, or cigars. What I do recommend is buying (or rolling your own) cigars and pipe tobacco from verified fully natural sources, that are unaltered from the plant itself, as these companies put so many unhealthy chemical carcinogens into their products that makes them so much more damaging to your lungs. If your health is overall in good shape, your lungs are very capable of healing from the relatively insignificant smoke inhaled from entirely natural tobacco products in small doses. As for me, I've unfortunately had pneumonia multiple times, and am still dealing with the damage that cause to my lungs, so I no longer smoke anywhere near as significantly as I used to, but I still keep my pipe and tobacco maintained and stored, for the once in a blue moon desire to smoke, maybe once every six months.
@1xDRCx2 ай бұрын
@@amfam100 Yeah no, sorry bud. Nicotine causes cancer. Cigars still cause mouth cancer and can still cause lung cancer. You obviously have not 'looked up the data' because there is no shortage of data proving without the shadow of a doubt that all tobacco causes cancer. I encourage you to actually look up the data. Research peer reviewed articles looking up the effect of tobacco smoking and nicotine on health outcomes or rates of cancer.

Cigarillos are often very cleanly rolled, like a cigarette or cigar, whereas cheroots often have a rustic quality, like those in spaghetti westerns, and like the one in this video.

I love a good cigar and I smoked many different ones, but one cigar I buy all the time as my "every day cigar", to smoke while talking and drinking and not paying too much attention, is the toscano garibaldi.

Toscano Cigars are the OG spaghetti westerns, they are exactly what Clint Eastwood bought locally to smoke on set for his dollar trilogy. Anyway, they are just like this cheroot cigar you just rolled, except they are a bit thicker in the end and tapered towards the ends. Enjoy your smoke!

@@BlissCigarCo They 100% bought Toscanos locally, there was an interview somewhere, I think with Clint himself, where he said so. If you've ever been to italy, you know you get them at every off licence (or 7/11 what you call them), they are very popular and they were very popular back then, too, and they are CHEAP. Cheap being important because he went through so many probably, considering how he seemingly only lights them and doesn't actually smoke them. (he was not a fan of cigars at all, especially not these ones) So the story is very believable. But if you ever get to, try the Garibaldi ones. The classic ones and the aged ones are nice, but I think the Garibaldis have the best taste of them all. I know it's italian custom to break them in half and smoke them that way, but I do smoke them whole and it makes a whole different cigar out of them. If you don't already smoke them whole, maybe give that a go :) Putting them in the humidor also helps a lot.

@@obiwanfisher537 Well I'm usually too drunk to look up sources, but we both have the same access to google and AI, right? :) I've never found a whole Toscano a particularly short smoke, by the way. Just a great one. VERY incidentally, I just asked AI about it, curious to see what it would say: In Clint Eastwood's iconic spaghetti westerns, the cigars he smoked have been identified as Parodi Ammezzati, an Italian-style cheroot made in the U.S. from Kentucky tobacco. HOLTS These cigars are dry-cured and open at both ends, contributing to the rugged image of Eastwood's "Man with No Name" character. While some sources suggest that Eastwood smoked Toscano cigars, traditional Italian cheroots, during filming, NEPTUNE CIGAR the prevailing evidence points to the use of Parodi cigars. This choice was likely due to their availability and similarity in style to the Toscano cigars. It's worth noting that Eastwood, a non-smoker, found the cigars unpalatable and only smoked them as part of his character portrayal. The distinctive short, stubby appearance of the cigars in the films was achieved by cutting longer cigars to the desired length, enhancing the character's gritty aesthetic. In summary, while both Parodi and Toscano cigars share similarities, the cigars used by Clint Eastwood in his spaghetti westerns were most likely Parodi Ammezzati, aligning with the character's tough, enigmatic persona.

Fun fact: Clint hated smoking and fought it all thru shooting. He gave the direct one take to get the shot. You can still buy the cigars, the company is called Toscano. They’re pretty stout as cigar go. They’re fire cured as opposed to fermented which means they don’t need humidification. Perfect for long movie shoots in Spain

I LOOOVE Toscanos but I've read they used American Parodi "Italian-style" cigars.

@@Menuki Toscano says that? I think it might be an urban myth. Or maybe the Parodi is an urban myth.
I wonder how difficult it would be to roll some green in there too. I'm not one for straight tobacco but rolling looks like such a beautiful passion. I find crafts and such yhat you can eat, drink, smoke, to be my favorite.

That looks beautiful. Hats off. I know there are infinitely more sophisticated cigars, but there's something so perfect in the simplicity and directness of a cheroot. One leaf, magic hands, et voila... a thing of beauty. And an hour of pleasure. What kind of leaf would be good to get mild, sweet, aromatic type of cheroot? Something beginner friendly. The only reference I have is Backwoods sweet & aromatic. I assume they add artificial flavors and aromas.
@BlissCigarCoАй бұрын
Yes, Woods are loaded with artificial chemicals. Unfortunately a leaf of the quality of this one is hard to get, but right now you can! It's the Mexican San Andres wrapper from Ultimo Cigars in Oklahoma. Makes an insane cheroot.

Hello Bliss, i love your videos, your inspire me to try to roll my own cigar and Western cheroot, they look so cool. Can you give me advice on what leaves i should buy, what variety ? Ty in advance
@BlissCigarCoАй бұрын
Hey -- the wrapper I used in this is a very high quality Mexican San Andres that you can not buy at retail. But if you'd like to try rolling cigars I suggest Piloto seco, Esteli viso, and Olor ligero with Dominican binder and Cameroon wrapper from leafonly.com. You might get a good cheroot out of that Cameroon wrapper--it's very spicy. But I haven't tried that yet.

Hello, just wanted to say I love the video. The simplicity and the lack of talking gives focus to the task at hand; the cheroot itself. However, for future videos, may I recommend adding subtitles or captions that either explains your process or some of the tools you use? For example, as someone who's never rolled a Cheroot themselves, I don't know what that adhesive in the jar was, or that fancy cutting utensil you were using. If you added some context in the closed captions, such as "this adhesive is called X and can be found in tobacco stores," then it would give viewers like me a fuller understanding of your rolling process. Otherwise, this is a great video, and I hope to see your channel explode in popularity. Have a great day :)
@BlissCigarCoАй бұрын
Thanks. The only problem with your excellent idea is that I'd get no comments then; whereas now I get 100 comments a day of people asking me what that adhesive is. :)
