Hmm, $700 pencil sharpener ...completely normal purchase for healthy people no matter their income brackets.

[@FoCoBuzz]

And for a pencil sharpener. I can’t remember the last time I used a pencil, much less a pencil that had to be sharpened! 😳

[@noctisatrae7281]

"Desk" is immediately associated with work in my mind, and here's Kirby showcasing his cigar cutter, ash tray to finally talk about the pencil sharpener... we do smoke yes, but we sharpen our pencil as much as we sharpen our mind.

[@Indiskret1]

A very keen eye for perfection. What's not to love? Thank you Kirby! Reminds me of the best time of my life.

[@MoeZahria]

I love Kirby, Mr. Allison we need another Sahakyian smoke session 😂😂

[@573998]

Kirby you turned me on to bespoke shoes and clothes. But now I am hooked. One year ago I got my first pair of custom shoes. I slipped them on and 🎉🎉🎉🎉 they fit perfectly. Now I need to schedule a trip to NYC for a pair of Carminas . Two weeks ago I was in London and now I have a regular routine in London Hair cut and shave at Truefit and Hill . Cigars with Sakarians and Dukes for a martini I met you while on my way to London...I think it was in Chicago . About 1 ½ years ago. You're a Class Act and an old geezer like me who travels for a living. I can't thank you enough for your advice

[@bonnitaylor6788]

After hearing about this El Casco cigar cutter a handful of times now, I'm convinced! Definitely going to acquire one and see how it elevates my cigar smoking experience. Cheers; always love the videos!

[@adamwest3470]

I’ve been using the el casco cutter everyday and it is phenomenal thank you Kirby! Adam

[@charliefoxtrot7219]

When Kirby does these type of videos. I feel like his real job is sales at Nordstrom or a jewelry store.

[@chasemer6]

Blackwing pencil. Also classy. I guess I shouldn’t expect anything but the best in all of Kirby’s facets of life.

[@user-uw8ph1zm3t]

A great showman….he needs to expand to more products……an exceptional mechanical watch with a tourbillon

[@daintiestquarters3411]

Hey, that cigar cutter is what the yakuza use to cut fingers!

[@stevecattani9545]

El Casco needs to design and manufacture a stapler/cigar cutter combo device! Behold!

[@rodeomom1149]

A must have gift for every admin assistant!!😂😂😂

[@charliefoxtrot7219]

Kirby, One thing is for sure you have an eye for luxury.

[@alexg8919]

If you aren't willing to spend $700 for a concave pencil point then you are missing the value propostion on offer here. If you sharpen 700 pencils then that actually works out at $1 per concave pencil point which I'm sure you all agree is superb value. Ordered a few of these for friends and acquantinces for Xmas. They make the perfect stocking filler.

[@frankynonos3793]

A 70 cent pencil sharpener provides a remarkably better return in significantly less time

[@saqz11]

Me too, I ordered 50 of them to pass out to colleagues. Wonderful item, perfect affordable little gift.

[@brandongaster]

What is the box on the credenza? Is it a despatch box?

[@lxrdoni]

My only problem with cutters that don't let you cut past a certain point is they all take off way too much. I was taught to take no more than the width of a dime off. This cutter takes off the entire cap.

[@pj202q5]

When are the Sahakian’s coming for a visit?

[@Aquired_Assassin]

Hey Kirby, as someone who is somewhat new to the world of Cigars (year maybe), I have been wanting to experience the oh so famous Cuban lol. Sadly as im sure you experienced, as someone who lives in the US thats dang near impossible. Would you be able to recommend some good alterative that in your opinion, gave you the same or similar taste as a good Cuban? My go to cigars are currently the Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real, if that helps any. Thanks Alan

[@LuxeLifeDoug]

There are ways to get Cubans in the U.S. 😉 But it can be tricky. Comparable New World cigars try some different sticks from Davidoff, Opus X (Fuente), and Padron. But tastes differ so best to try different things and find your favorites.

[@Aquired_Assassin]

@LuxeLifeDoug I didn't think you could lol I'll have to look into that, and thank you for the suggestions! I'll have to give them a try

[@i.o.3563]

Obviously, pencil sharpener isn't particularly practical for most people these days. However, it is a magnificent souvenir. If put on some vintage style shelf, will look amazing and unique. It's not a traditional Lalique crystal fish, that every second expensive house has.

[@BK-shishkhoda]

Good guy.

[@frankynonos3793]

Pushing overpriced junk makes you a good guy?

[@BK-shishkhoda]

I hope one day I can spend time with Kirby and learn from him. Kirby is a good guy!

[@Blisken81]

I sharp my pencils with a box cutter.

[@richardpeters4086]

I love the pencil sharpener.

[@austinshade7155]

Explain the price to me?

[@kevinmelendez5339]

I know a lot of things are expensive, but men. I kinda understand why Kirby love this things so much. Please help me Kirby, but its a personal thought. "Modern technology makes some things simpler and easier, but the technology of the industrial revolution makes it more intimate and personal" u can buy a 0.25 pencil sharpener, or use a knife or whatever its fine, u can pay spotify to listen your music, or you can buy a vinyl record and play it. If you like something so much you always will be seeking and peeking for the good and real stuff.

[@teenoso4069]

Useful ID enhancers for those living in cloud cuckoo land

[@HabanosChris]

👌😚💨

[@tomepajmakoski9095]

To be honest, the pitch for that cigar cutter males me consider taking a second look 😅 it is out of my budget whatsoever

[@sebb.m.6498]

not the dupont picture and the el casco picture being the same with different editing

[@mozzie22]

I understand the saying, "You get what you pay for," but $700 for a pencil sharpener! Come on, man.

[@MrFelixjoshua]

Good day sir,...I noticed you like gold and so do I....but in the British army and us marine corps (organizations with deep traditional background),they tend value silver over gold and we hear popular sayings like "silverware"...is there an order to precious metals in menswear and if so, what is the hierarchy?....thank you and more success in your affairs.

[@damonhumble]

Saying that the already burnt and extinguished ashes are smellier than the actual cigar smoke is hilarious and delusional.

[@guitar911rock]

haven't seen a pencil sharpener since 2004

[@BrutusMaximusAurelius]

1:31 or woman, you never know.

[@frankynonos3793]

Typical Kirby... I heard another one his quote goes something like, "A woman should wear out the carpet between the kitchen and the bedroom..."

[@Seronu]

@@frankynonos3793 One cannot expect a man who personifies the antiquated times of the 50s and 60s (or even earlier) to have modern, progressive views on women.

[@frankynonos3793]

@@Seronu well said, i just consider Kirby to be a fruitcake

[@ednowakowski30]

Kirby. At 1:31 you assume that a man came up with the idea for your favorite cutter. Wake up and smell the coffee.

[@theofarmmanager267]

I think that this channel is actually a test for everyone. Perpetrated by master joker Alison Kirby. I think she came up with an idea of seeing just how much people, with nothing better to do with their money and with little social responsibility, are willing to pay for things we don’t need.

[@kevinsenior8155]

I have a couple of vintage ST Duponts (go for vintage if you want to save money, and acquire instant patina). I am sure they don't light my Cubans any better than a cheap lighter, but all I can say is they enhance the experience. As regards social responsibility, my Duponts (already 30-40 years old) will outlast hundreds of cheap plastic throwaway lighters, so in the long run, they are better for the environment. If you don't want to go that route, you don't need to follow Kirby or similar channels.

[@theofarmmanager267]

@@kevinsenior8155 I wouldn’t disagree about your point on disposable goods. However, I’m not sure I follow your point about “going down that route”. I don’t see the responsible use of money in buying that very expensive pencil sharpener over and above a cheaper but no less effective alternative. There is an element of hypocrisy from me in that I don’t drive the very cheapest of cars or wear the very cheapest of clothes but rather a level of quality which I hope means value for money. It is when indulgence leads to countless pairs of hand made suits and shoes; to trinkets that seem designed only to shout “I am rich, I can afford to waste money” that I have an issue. A true gentleman is not measured by his number of suits but rather by the way in which he cares for his clothes; by the way in which he conducts himself and by the way in which he treats others. It is for the pursuit of gentlemanly attributes that I watch some lifestyle videos. I hope that is alright with you

[@frankynonos3793]

Ahhhh yes, more overpriced junk you can buy on his site. You can buy them direct from El Casco cheaper than him FYI. Mr. Allison, how's Cigar Keep going?

[@tomdahl7]

Cigars kill. You are not in 1910 when we didn't know the risks of tobacco. Pls stick to shoes and 2024 technology.

[@oskarek57]

I don´t have anything from El Casco yet, but I am planning to buy various things from the maker. Those products are unbelievable, but only for people, who can appreciate them and really love luxury. Not for people, who scream, that they are expensive, you can buy different things for less and so on. Yes, you can, but only with makers like El Casco, you will have something, that is really unique and minority of people have it, so the price is just right to me. You have to pay, if you want to have unique stuff and not follow, what everyone else has. Really another great video!
