Mazz would love to hear your opinion on the top 5 hair products you would use if you had any hair, thanks.

[@johnsonmd1984]

I love the idea of stating what wheelhouse each cigar relates to. Keep up the stellar content fellas.

[@jeffuchiha3725]

Stumbled on this channel a few weeks ago and you two have the best onscreen bro chemistry on KZbin. Im more of a bourbon guy but have a cigar once in a while and i can say ive learned more in the last few weeks than in the last 30 yrs.

[@holtscigars]

Thank you for the kind words, welcome aboard Jeff 👊

[@davidjackson4308]

Excellent as always. The content you provide is so enjoyable and informative, it's actually gotten me ordering from your company and giving up on another established retailer because they don't bother putting out anything like this for everyone's enjoyment. You should be rewarded with a lot of new business!

[@holtscigars]

Thank you for the kind words and support, we greatly appreciate it David!

[@Aeronaughtica]

I feel like I just got a history lesson listening to Mazz and Facc talk about the background of the EE. Amazing video fellas!

[@Neven2605]

Smoked churchill during summer, loved it. It was everything that cuban cigar wanted to be. Flavour, construction, burn, great price.

[@benv9788]

Yes! This blend was such a surprise for me. Might be my favorite La Aroma.

[@HenryGains85]

I love sparking up a nice perdomo cigar and pairing it with a nice tequila, while watching you guys talk. I feel like I'm in a lounge with you 2 and chilling 🎉

[@nydieselinfl]

I know this may not be a popular opinion, but the La Aroma de Cuba EE is my favorite in the whole lineup. For me it just hits right. And most of the time, it's a Churchill that I gravitate to.

[@jandnkeller]

Mazz you're a madman, just cutting the cap in your lap like that! Hahaha

[@ian6690]

Great idea to mention comparable cigars. Thanks!

[@daveknowles3055]

Been watching for some time now, enjoy the video's, learning lots. I'd be ordering from Holt's if I didn't live in Canada.

[@holtscigars]

Thank you for watching and commenting, Dave 👊

[@Retiredrookiecigars]

Love your all’s content! I wish you’d do a review/video of the Oliva MB 3 😊

[@holtscigars]

We'll definitely get there at some point 👊

[@Orchid-kr2xw]

I love hearing about this cigar ❤ your review really makes me want to try it😂 thanks for the review

[@aaronrivero3221]

Tuesdays are becoming my favorite day of the week because of you two. Keep it up fellas! Will definitely pass by your store some day when I’m in PA.

[@Dannymurmaid]

I need to try these. Their whole line. I’ve heard good things about

[@girlcrazy7]

most excellent review as always. you guys are rock stars

[@jonathanmiller2701]

Just got into cigars. This channel has taught me so much. Thank you both! Premium cigars and pipe tobacco got me off cigarettes, thankfully. Also, cigars aside.. one of the best youtube channels I have ever seen. The two of your guy's chemistry is phenomenal. Awesome stuff, guys 👌

[@Jimboslice0420]

My favorite at the moment, great stick!

[@RCain662]

Excellent cigar and I absolutely agree with the points in this vid. I keep these around for when I'm craving a Cuban and my humidor is low or just out of Cubans. Love to pair the No. 1 with El Dorado 15.

[@holtscigars]

🤤

[@billburbank4314]

Bought a 5 pack from you guys, and smoked a couple...great complex smoke. Med+. Great with coffee or tequila. Will have to try Reserva.

[@michaelkeene9053]

Love these vids, guys! I learn so much. Keep up the great work!

[@holtscigars]

Glad to hear it, will do!

[@jamespowers1893]

I would love to see which cigar you guys pair with a Glengoyne 18yr Scotch. For me the scotch has a slight holiday spice note to it so would love to see the pairing choice.

[@mrbuidl9332]

Great episode!

[@warrenhall6577]

Great review! I love the descriptives.

[@johndibo]

Great stuff guys!!!

[@johncain6225]

Another great video guys !!!

[@yusufsayed1583]

Lovely Cigar and a Great Pour 🥃

[@mobeoner100]

I went to holts cigar the other day for the first time ever and saw MAZZ wanted to tell him how much I enjoy his videos but I didn’t want bother him…

[@anthonymazzola4470]

Never a bother. Introduce yourself next time 👊🏽

[@zuhalterei4090]

@@anthonymazzola4470 I was in Philly center city store a few months ago . . . you seemed to be in a rush - will grab you for a selfie next time!!

[@Orchid-kr2xw]

I also wanted to say now that this cigar review was one of my favorites

[@holtscigars]

Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 👊

[@bajapantis22]

Mazz uses every opportunity to drop “yesteryear”. 😂 good video!

[@Gundgy-Miner]

Cazcanes is great tequila. Great cigar and spirit video.

[@danielgalvan4185]

By far,the best tequila you’ve had on the channel so far! Love Cazcanes, I have the no. 7 and will pair it with La Aroma de Cuba, thank you 🙏🏼

[@smittdog1965]

Just get some and it’s great

[@prking2010]

Great choice on cigars, one of my faves

[@PontifexByzantinus]

The color of that tequila itself, as well as the color of the label on the bottle, perfectly compliments the colors on the cigar. Thanks for the deep-dive into one of my favorite blends, from one of my favorite brands. Excellent, edifying, refined, top-shelf content as always!

[@holtscigars]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

[@angelalveras101]

Love this cigar in a Toro size, good sweet notes and makes for a perfect evening

[@holtscigars]

Couldn't agree more!

[@markhannah1142]

Top pick for me. Truly Box Worthy

[@Andrei.HEX1]

Just got some Oliva V love them. Good cigar!

[@holtscigars]

definitely!

[@barex6825]

I heard new Olivia blend is out if so maybe a review?

[@kitchenspider]

What is your opinion on Taboo cigars?

[@CigarAttache]

I just ordered one of these from you. Looking forward to trying it. 💥👍🏼

[@holtscigars]

Thank you for the support! Hope you love it as much as us.

[@CasaDeMold]

As a fan of the Churchill size myself, this video reminded me why it’s a classic. Fantastic insights and storytelling-keep up the amazing work

[@holtscigars]

You bet! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@delcrow696]

Pulled one of these out to smoke tonight. Hopped on you tube to see if you two had done a review. Lo and behold several videos. Keep up the great content. Love what you guys do. I love this cigar. Smooth and full of flavor. I may actually try my hand at infusing a few with some Vanilla Crown.

[@timkamholz1009]

always buy my cigars from Holts

[@holtscigars]

thank you for your support!

[@joemarchbanks]

We paired the Cazcanes tonight at the local lounge with a Partgas Classico (LADC EE not available here) after seeing this review. Excellent suggestion Mazz!

[@holtscigars]

🙌

[@traceyryan4635]

LaAromaDeCuba is a all time favorite of mine gentlemen. Great video.

[@beerlover35]

This one is hands down my favorite la roma! Tasty!!!

[@timkamholz1009]

Love your cigar vids but love your socks

[@revolvermaster4939]

I haven’t had anything in the La Aroma line that I didn’t like a lot!

[@krazywally5685]

I'm gonna go and have a villiger no 7 (Sumatra) with an old English Ale after this! Cheers guys, another great video, all the best from here in the 🇬🇧

[@holtscigars]

Cheers!

[@tp5401]

I love this cigar! Just bought a 5 pack because I was down to 1.

[@deleon_bbq_and_salsa]

Another one to add to my list try.. thanks fellas for the review.. cheers! 🥃

[@holtscigars]

Cheers!

[@JoshuaBlogshua]

Great cigar! Second on my list of top LADCs. 1. Mi Amor 2. Edicion Especial 3. Noble$$e (#3 only because it's definitely just a special circumstance $moke) 4. La Reserva 5. Connecticut Pasion and the original are decent but don't compare to 1 and 2 on my list.

[@PontifexByzantinus]

@@JoshuaBlogshua I agree.

[@EJGentleman]

I really like the idea of naming similar cigars and quality, leaf. Great content.

[@cpakid6224]

Really can't go wrong with that pairing. Nice guys!

[@vasiliwilliams5668]

We need a review of the Ashton heritage

[@IgnatTudor]

Hell yeah... 🥃

[@aaronrivero3221]

Mazz. Another Cubanesque blend that would definitely like your review on is the Tatuaje Black Petit Lancero or Corona Gorda.

[@anthonymazzola4470]

Absolutely

[@deepspell1]

my fave LADC 💯❤. Smoke the #2 often.

[@markmondier5267]

Please try an aged Mescal with any Aroma de Cuba sometime, I think you will be impressed.

[@holtscigars]

We haven't paired any Mezcals on the channel just yet. Have any favorites? 👀

[@jaamja73]

And here im watching this amazing video smoking the Perdomo 20th anniversary pairing with 1800 añejo tequila 🤣 (I have to add that cigar and that tequila to my list)

[@db.-artislife3663]

Thinking about getting some, and instantly knew where to get the trusted information. Thank you Gentlemen. My Holts December on its way !!! Every month is like Christmas. My wife lol at me.

[@holtscigars]

Thank you for watching. Glad to have you apart of the Club!

[@JeffWalters-f5i]

Edicion Especial is one of my favorites, along with the San Cristobal Quintessence. I would almost say they are the exact same blend relabeled. Good stuff.

[@holtscigars]

There are some similarities. We played a game of This or That with the Quintessence and Pasion which you might enjoy! Look up "This or That Ep. 2"

[@beaulindemann7392]

I love that brand of cigar, but I like the El Hefi

[@FurryFella]

I think I know what I’ll buy next, oddly enough, I bought 5 Churchill baselines like a week ago What size would you recommend for a first time smoker of this cigar?

[@anthonymazzola4470]

Churchill won’t let you down

[@yaakovzalman8923]

12:45 Nifty!

[@holtscigars]

All bases covered with this pairing 🔥

[@dybcar]

Great video, as usual. Please keep them coming. Mazz I think it's about time you should think about organizing some get-together with the fans. It would be awesome to smoke cigars with you guys, share a glass (or two ;) of some fine liquor and share some great stories. What do you think?

[@anthonymazzola4470]

Don’t threaten me with a good time 😅

[@danielgalvan4185]

If you haven’t tried Fortaleza tequila, it is better than Don Julio 1942, my favorite tequila. Definitely try G4, Cazcanes, Fortaleza, ArteNOM, Lalo, El Tesoro, Siete Leguas or mijenta.

[@cuban252]

When my humidor was filled with this blend, I always paired it with black coffee in the afternoon. I liked them so much I burned right through my stash. This video reminds to pick up some more. I really enjoyed them.

[@holtscigars]

🙌🔥

[@bwicked3059]

Just got a box from you guys of La Aroma De cuba Reservas DELICIOUS!!

[@holtscigars]

Enjoy, thank you for the support!

[@Tommy.OrginalvideosPhilly]

Fantastic

[@RyanGazling]

Loving this - Appetite duly whet!

[@joeybranciforte7508]

great cigar

[@candler98]

When adding 25 new cigars to my humidor should I raise the humidity in my humidor?

[@jeremyf1901]

What’s the “boldest” or “strongest” cigar out there you enjoyed? Hope everyone’s well.

[@ColeWorldNoSandwich]

Finally ive been in this comment section throwing Cazcanes and other top quality tequilas!!!!, FINALYYY!!!.

[@holtscigars]

We know, we know. We saw all the comments 😂

[@ColeWorldNoSandwich]

@holtscigars Lmaoo, let's blow the doors off of Fauc's taste buds with Artenom 1146, an absolute banger stored in whiskey barrels and easy to find, thank me later!.

[@holtscigars]

👀👀

[@aap2827]

Especial and Reserva are my favorite.

[@nathanhawee5373]

I agree with the area comment! Would be very helpful to alot of us navices'. Sometimes its had to buy a cigar when you dont know much about it, so yes put us in a ballpark with other blends.

[@TS-wb6jb]

I love the pairing. I don’t drink tequila but I will give this a try. This bottle doesn’t have additives. $109.99 at Total Wine. My next pick up.

[@holtscigars]

It's definitely worth a try! Hope you love it as much as we did 🥃

[@lg2bama]

How does this compare to the CAO Columbia? I’ve seen comments that it is also Cubanesque

[@willydb11184]

Nothing better than smoking my EE I ordered last month watching this video!!!

[@bablackbelt1]

Nothing like a "getting a big blast of Anise!" 😅

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯Awesome

[@donovandublin8172]

I picture you guys rolling in a deuce and a quarter smoking cigars.

[@Yeehaw_4968]

Do the Pasion of La Aroma De Cuba next !!!

[@holtscigars]

Coming very soon 👀

[@JohnDoe-iu5fb]

La Aroma De Cuba is becoming my favorite brand

[@AndrewGonzalez-r7t]

Anthony I’m having issues with cigar dying out towards the end and bad taste of the stick. any advice?

[@holtscigars]

Try purging your cigar! Look up our short "When and how to purge 👀🔥" to see how it's done

[@fredk6890]

Finally tried this cigar this evening on Christmas Eve! Paired it with Buffalo Trace bourbon and it was excellent. The interesting thing is that in addition to the spice and nuts , I got salt. Something about some wrappers with Aroma de Cuba cigars like the original and this, I get salt, not sure why that is. Good cigar though.

[@Paulllyp]

I get brown sugar notes from this cigar

[@holtscigars]

🤤🤤

[@adamborstal3238]

Yeah that’s the issue here in the UK we’re bent over a barrel with the prices and tax ok cigars

[@BurberryPie]

I would still choose the Reserva. But if someone gave me the Edicion or Pasión and told me to choose one, it would be a hard decision

[@holtscigars]

good thing you dont have to choose 😂

[@BurberryPie]

@holtscigars when I open my Humidor it's always a battle on what gets picked 🤣

[@holtscigars]

we hear you brother 😂

[@juliovargas5029]

Salute FROM DonJulioVargas FROM BAR AREA.....

[@cancelcasey]

A 7-figure estate in Austin TX wants to host a charity event for cigar aficionados. Where could I reach out to you to discuss details?

[@JDA247]

Great cigar… had one tonight with a good ol’ ginger ale 😎. Became my new favorite La Aroma De Cuba… smoked that thing down till my fingers burned ! 😂

[@holtscigars]

we've all been there 😂

[@alexlosee5083]

How much do you charge to plug certain brands?

[@anthonymazzola4470]

We aren’t paid to “plug” anything. We talk about the cigar culture & what we enjoy.

[@RockTo11]

When you guys say "spice", do you mean spice flavors like cinnamon or cloves, or do you mean it is peppery?

[@holtscigars]

Excellent question. It can mean either. This cigar has a little of both. Ultimately if you try it it's up for you to decide. Taste is personal!

[@mobile144]

The stock is always low at the cigar/liquor store by me. It isn’t hard to get yet. I was in the humidor when this was recommended to me. Good stuff I bought the 7 resposata, 9 Anejo ,and 10 blanco. I actually prefer the 7&10.

[@JoshuaBlogshua]

"wudder"

[@metalneanderthal]

This cigar has disappeared. Literally…i haven’t seen it in a cigar shop in my area in years. Tons of La Aroma classic, Mi Amor, Passion and Nobleses. But the Edition? Nope..At one point I thought Ashton had discontinued it. Which I find odd because it was the second La Aroma that came out after the classic. I had to go online to check if it was still being made and yep, it is. I remember liking it a lot. I wonder if it’s one of those lines that just got lost between the classic and the mi amor. Those seem to be the most popular La Aromas at this time. So most retailers just opt out of ordering it. The same goes for Ashton’s aged maduro unfortunately. I still see that one but only in one or maybe two sizes whereas the Ashton classic, Vsg and Cabinet are in abundance

[@chris-wt7ol]

U hit the nail mazz. The mf the perdomo 10th for me anyway and this one are the same

[@chris-wt7ol]

Mf meaning my father
