I had the great pleasure of meeting Edward and Eddie at their shop during my recent visit to London. They were exactly as I expected them to be; true gentlemen. It was also a great experience to explore their humidor and make a few selections.

[@OffOfTheCuff]

Why do you say that, they sell the same cigars at the same price as everyone else, just with better customer service than most. Not everyone who is successful is a cheater. For the Cuban stuff they don't even set the prices, those are the same in every single cigar shop in England

[@djstuc]

@@OffOfTheCuffit’s called a troll.

[@OffOfTheCuff]

@@djstucFair I am just an old guy who probably doesn't understand how the internet works

[@OffOfTheCuff]

⁠@@djstucNo worries, I know, I just really do take people too seriously here. That comment bothered me because as a guy of average means I was very touched by how well I was treated when I visited Davidoff in London to buy only two cigars. These guys work hard and are blessed with success, I hate to see people resent the successful for no reason

[@joshmiller7777]

​@@OffOfTheCuffthis is so wonderful to hear, maybe I will have to call in when I next visit London

Eddie is a human version of what a cigar is supposed to vibe to you

[@Kxji]

I couldn't agree more with a comment.

[@captaincrispy2184]

I neither smoke nor drink, but I always make sure to view these videos, especially with the Sahakians. Eddie has such an incredibly welcoming and warm demeanor, and he shows that he truly does appreciate Kirby. A conversation between gentlemen is always marvelous to watch. Not to mention the wonderful production quality.

[@Jakob_23]

It’s a great thing to experience every once in awhile! I have a drink once a month and a cigar once a week. I would never suggest anyone do it all the time because it won’t feel as special then.

[@kevinbparry]

What a duo. Always a delight when Eddie is on the channel.

I agree - but just seems like. I don’t see that happening.

[@GoGoTwice]

The way Eddie speaks is such a joy to listen to - the phrasing, the vocabulary, the feeling and emotion he carries

[@timstort8223]

Eddie is the definition of grace and more importantly class, they don’t make many like him these days but glad to see him leading the large for Davidoff from where Edward brought it too

[@TheRealChrisWoodward]

I am so happy to find this. What a breath of fresh air to listen to these two gentlemen talk; my job comes with a great deal of time spent in harsher social environments, so this again is just wonderful.

[@priestofpartagas]

New video of Kirby & Eddie? Hold all my calls!!

[@IrishCoffeee]

It's nice to see that Kirby visits Eddy more frequently. Looks like a friendship has been established. Nothing better than two true gentleman sitting at one table.

[@kevinbparry]

Hat tip to your production team! Beautifully shot, edited, and colored.

[@yesno9834]

Kirby, please just move to London and have a weekly video with the Sahakians 😅 A pleasure watching these videos whilst smoking a cigar.

[@4star993]

Couldn't agree more

[@tobacjoe6812]

Watching these videos with these men in particular is like taking a semester course in gentleman etiquette.

[@mikepaulee]

Does anyone else need Eddie to start recording audiobooks?

[@osmiumplanet8681]

Kirby probably does more to catalogue and maintain this side of British Culture than most other British people nowadays... Sincere thanks on our behalf, and keep up the wonderful work!

[@russ9921]

Very true

British culture....? A texan and a persian ( Iranian ? )....?? I think not mate.

[@russefrance4869]

@@richardichard4237 Absolutely right. This is a KZbin fantasy England along the lines of Hollywood in the 50's. However, credit for the production, it is extremely high quality.

[@ericwalton7527]

I wish the world was still as civilized as your videos. Great work Kirby. Thanks for keeping traditions, manners, and class alive.

[@Ian-lm1py]

Your video's with Eddie are always my favourite. Looking forward to sitting down, lighting a cigar and watching this 👍🏻

[@mrbuda944]

I can watch you 2 legends every day and in awe of what Mr S built in the Davidoff of London brand.

[@alexanderwebb4102]

I could listen to Eddie talk all day....

[@richardmorgan3974]

Such a joy to see a non"ist" video, here in 2024! These two guys have My vote for best videos of the last few years, since they started hanging out together. Manners, etiquette, all the things.. Though I am nothing and absolutely worth nothing in the grand scheme of anything, I can sit back and enjoy a fine cigar while watching these two as I learn something about history, cultures, agriculture, science, etiquette or just lost traditions. This is so relaxing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@matthewpotter8491]

Two gents looking dapper as always. Elegance personified.

[@cdub4693]

Eddie needs to be on the cover of GQ and Cigar Aficionado. And of course Kirby is always the best dressed man in the room.

[@earleg6]

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Edward and Eddie two weeks back. They are long time friends of my fiancés family. Edward so kindly allowed me to enjoy the 2015 Bolivar. What a treat. We later proceeded to spend some time in the sahakian lounge. Thank you for reigniting my passion for cigars.

[@vashfire]

I am always outclassed, but it is still a pleasure to sit in and smoke as I listen to a proper conversation.

[@PuebloYo]

This video gave me a greater appreciation for cigars and rum. Inspired me to go to my local cigar shop and find a sophisticated moment.

[@november_whiskey85]

Funny you say that. I'm a huge whiskey/bourbon guy and cigar guy. My whiskey collection is much larger than my cigar collection (around 200+/- bottles) but this made me stop and buy a bottle of Foursquare. Literally mid-video. I was watching while driving and knew a local store had Foursquare varieties. I got the 2008 just to try.

[@ThatManInASuit]

Beautiful suit Kirby 👍

[@abhiudai]

Finally! It has been a while since you had a sit down with Eddie, great to see him back on the channel.

[@hamme2man]

God I love the two of you together

[@tragekavant]

This should be a weekly occurence. Pay this man whatever you need to in order to make it happen!

[@theFICOguy]

I’m happy to see you back in London Kirby. I love to travel to London vicariously through you 🫡

[@professorpelotard7925]

This is all you need after a difficult day. Two consumate gentlemen in relaxed, civilised conversation. I really enjoy these videos. They bring a much needed calm to my otherwise stressful life. Many thanks Eddie and Kirby!

[@saucerchrome]

I just bought my first few cigars. My first I'll be trying is a davidoff that was recommended to me by the worker I asked to help pick my selection. Of course, I will be watching this video and smoking along this time. I always enjoy these videos

[@rhensel001]

Eddie seems like such a genuine man. You can't fake that. His frinedship and generosity with these absolute gems of cigars are unparalleled from anything I've ever seen. Kirby is a lucky man to have that friendship. Happy smoking, gentleman 👌🏼

[@herbertperez7373]

Superb timing Kirby, I have been waiting for a video like this lately to enjoy a nice cigar.

[@youtube-R-Us]

Always good to see you in London with Eddie in the beautiful Davidoff Cigar shop.

[@willdoelol]

I was eating while watching this episode and I nearly spat out my food - not out of disgust mind you, but of how invasively arousing Eddie sounded when he whispers @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1458">24:18</a> and @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1469">24:29</a>. I literally moaned out “My God…” and my girlfriend sitting across from me was like tf you watching?? I shared the clip to justify my reaction, only to look over and see her with her jaw dropped, food half chewed to a halt still in her mouth, and moaning “My God…”. EDDIE YOU DADDY STOP IT

[@kaminatorXD]

Its crazy how someone can interprete so much from a cigar. Pure bliss

[@SimonLant]

Of all the types of video on Kirbys channel, the sit downs with the luminaries like Eddie are the best. I wish he would do more with the likes of the tailors, they have so much expertise and legacy that Kirbys platform can help bring to the masses.

[@kirbyallison]

More to come!

[@newyorkleb]

Glad to see this man back again. Was afraid there might have been a relationship breakup, due to the huge gap between drinks.

[@bonnitaylor6788]

I always look forward to your Saturday release of videos Kirby, as they are always excellent! But as a cigar enthusiast, I always get an extra bit of excitement and delight when I see a new video with Eddie and/or Edward Sahakian. Cheers!

[@READINGEVERYCOMMENT]

So happy to see Kirby and Eddie enjoying as true friends I’m always waiting for the next time Kirby uploads another Sahakian video as I go through all the previous ones over and over again no one else can match there charisma and passion for things they love. Some time ago Kirby and Eddie mention about doing a video about the pipes and the history of them and how to use I would love to see that one day as Edward first was smoking pipes I think before moving on to cigars great job Kirby

[@pacojone9948]

I love watching these two get together to discuss fine cigars. Is it only me these two remind me of chip and dale when together? 😂😅. At any rate they are great to watch and listen to interact.

Am in London and took a quick walk down to St. James’s when we arrived. Mr. Edward Sahakian was standing at the door - impeccably dressed - and I froze. Wanted to introduce myself and thank he and Eddie for the time spent with Kirby, but couldn’t bring myself to it. Just didn’t seen proper to walk up to the gentleman and stick out my hand!

[@nettraptor]

Sat out next to the garden, great warm weather and enjoying a humble D No. 4 comparing to what you can get your hands on there. The length of those videos are also so appropriate and it feels like we are in the same room enjoying drinks and a smoke. Thanks for the great company!

[@russefrance4869]

Putting to one side the fabulously obsequious conversation, the technical discussion on the cigars and their provenance was quite interesting. However, why Mr Allison feels the need to dress in a 1940's zoot suit when visiting London remains a mystery.

I only dream to be able to try one of them amazing bolivars. I smoked a new world version and absolutely loved it

Eddie always makes me think of a younger, Armenian Mr Ollivander in the way that he effortlessly recalls different lengths and fillers of different cigars in his keep, much like the old wandmaker recalling the lengths and magical cores of his wands!
