As the only person in my household who enjoys cigars, I most often must partake alone. As I heard you add, “…and with good company” to the enumeration of the pleasures of the experience, I couldn’t help but feel like I’m missing something important. Truth be told, your videos fill that void. I most often have you and your guests (love the Sahakians) as my company when I make that “commitment of time,” and your conversations and enjoyment of a good smoke amplify my own. Thanks for that!

I feel the same, most often smoke alone. Also doesn’t help that almost none of my friends smoke cigars, and the few that do I haven’t seen in a while because of the lockdowns we’ve had here.

Adding to this the fact that Eddie shows grace and respect to his father, but still maintaining his own statue, personallity and dignity... it's really a gentlemens meeting ;) I'm not a smoker but it makes me want to smoke one, and have agreed with my own father (who quit smoking yeaaarrrrss ago) to smoke a sigar to celebrate the birth of my son.... Thank you Kirby, and thank you Eddie and Edward

I watched this for the third time tonight, three exquisite gentlemen lighting and smoking cigars together. I watched this video about a year and a half ago and ever since listening to the explanation, hearing the reasonings, and in my opinion tasting the difference after the cigar is lit then enjoying smoking it. It has enhanced my cigar smoking. Thank you very much.

Me and the boys after school every day in the basement.

[@dverdezo]

I read about the ritual and history of cigars, but never went for it. Thanks to your commitment to sharing these magnificent experiences, I decided to put my hands on my first cigars. What a lovely experience this has been. My ritual involves great symphonies and scotch. Best regards and thank you again Mr Allison

[@Mister_Lopez1]

I never thought that I would receive an introductory course on cigar lighting 101. These gentlemen are class acts. Brilliantly done. Bravo 👏

[@JohnGeorge-pw2xo]

I started smoking cigarettes since my teenage. Got addicted for over 26 years. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

[@nicholda436]

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Belgium. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

[@MartFrancis]

Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind

[@Marylongor]

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

[@StephenHackle]

From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later

[@Owemruther-hk4zn]

I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

[@jacksiegal4132]

What a pleasure to watch. Vicariously enjoyed the cigars, the techniques and the conversation.

[@Khyber94]

Oh man... what a classic. The way these gentlemen are talking is out of the world. WOW. Their dress choice WOW. a lot of respect for you Sir.

[@TheDragonaf1]

[@miamijules2149]

I can remember my uncle teaching me about cigars, smoking good Cuban cigars (our family is from the island so we had access) and, of course, telling us about Davidoff of London. Honestly, a ritual of passage worthy of any young man…. P.S. This is the way to light a cigar boys; nice 45 degree angle on the lighter…. just right. Look at that ash!

[@brentasher8148]

The comment about respect for the time taken to smoke these cigars….so true. What is more precious in this world than time. Excellent gentleman.

[@awbr1991]

Newer to cigars and I've been working on my lighting technique. Video definitely helped me realize I'm not rotating the cigar correctly. Great stuff

[@carlosheadly]

Such refined manners! Absolutely solemn, it makes one yearn to be there, if only for a moment, to experience all those etiquettes and engage in a truly gentlemanly conversation. The Sahakian gentlemen are the foremost exponents of British culture in the realm of tobacco. The way Mr. Edward so courteously corrects Kirby's smoking technique, and Kirby's humility in accepting and learning from such eminent figures in the world of tobacco, has indeed made him another respected voice in this domain.

[@randomworld4662]

These two gentlemen are outstanding professionalism is on another level !

[@SYKOK1LLER]

I feel like a gentleman already. Gonna light birthday candles this way from now on. Might take a while.

[@CarloBarbara-c7p]

I took the advice and lit a cigar how Eddie showed. That first magic puff as he puts it, was worth it thanks for the advice!!

[@guscontreras3971]

It’s good to see father and son spending good time together

[@arturasmaisuradze3428]

What an amazing gentelmen, so polite, never knew lighting a cigar can be so relaxing

[@rickyhawkins7407]

I used this technique tonight for the first time. A Romeo and Julieta 1875. It does make a difference. The first draw after the lighting was so much smoother. Tasted so much better. Thank you for sharing.

[@ingles_quiz]

Would you mind sharing what lighter do you use?

[@rickyhawkins7407]

@@ingles_quiz I have two double flame torch lighters that I prefer. One is a RP cigar branded model. I do not know who made it. The other is a Colibri torch.

[@josphellihsilak4588]

I dont light my cigars as he does, with a soft flame as he first demonstrates, but his love for the cigar is evident. Always nice to see the passion. I do have to say, the over emphasizing of Cubans is a cliche that won't die. There are products from the DR, Nicaragua, and Honduras that meet and, in my opinion, surpass that of Cuba, yet there's this pervasive obsession with Cubans.

[@unconventionalideas5683]

It's because the Cubans got their first, and then got banned from the United States because of the commies.

[@tdiaz9162]

I have watched this video several times over throughout the years. A joyful approach and a wonderful teaching 🏆

[@RickNethery]

I lit my cigar with them. I followed their advice, and it's burning evenly with a really mild and pleasant flavor. Thank you, gentlemen.

[@jmitra23]

I don’t even smoke cigars and I’m addicted to these video series with the Sahakians!

[@aleh3841]

A true privilege to watch King Kirbys latest video, in such great company as the sahakians! Their cigar knowledge is truly second to none.

[@Duzidan]

I don’t smoke, but watching this with these three gentlemen going in depth of the art of lighting and smoking a cigar calmed me down. Great video, Kirby.
