young vito corleone tells me how to smoke a cigar , okay i'll listen

[@keltecdan]

I love the solid gold Breguet marine. Excellent choice.

[@adanroesner1909]

When Nick Perdomo gives a lesson on lighting a cigar, can’t help but to sit back & listen. Great info

[@PerdomoCigars]

Thank you for the kind words. We are trying to put out more good advice like this. What else do you think a beginner cigar smoker would like to know?

[@onpsxmember]

@@PerdomoCigars It would definitely help to have some pointers how you check if a cigar was properly made before the purchase.

[@qp0.02]

@@PerdomoCigars How and when to ash properly, and perhaps how to fix an uneven burn. Thank you.

[@nickperdomo9111]

@@onpsxmember Great point. Thank you for your input and count on it in the near future!

[@Brooklynyc918]

Absolutely, whenever Nick provides some valuable lessons on cigars, I take notes.

[@craigfuhr]

One of the Cigar world’s greatest Ambassadors; Nick Perdomo. Once, after Hurricane Wilma, I had a few hours to spare prior to my flight back to Baltimore (my home town, and where Nick spent his childhood). We called Perdomo and asked if we could come by. They said, “We have no electric, but sure...come on over.” As my father in law and I walked through the humidor using flashlights provided by Perdomo, who comes out and greets us but Nick himself. This great man, struggling to figure out what he would do with all the inventory on his loading dock, took the time to say hello to us, a couple average Joes. He was so kind, he even opened his personal stash and gave us a few sticks of blends not yet available to the public. I was already a Perdomo fan, but after that, I’m a fan for life. You’re a good man, Nick Perdomo, and you are a testament to the greatness of this country.

[@PerdomoCigars]

America is the greatest country in the world. We need to get back to our roots and rediscover that greatness. I'm glad you got to drop by back then. If someone is willing to take the time out of their lives to come say hi, you bet I'll be there. My mother always taught me to treat people right.

[@billdunham6459]

He seems like such an approachable guy, I’ve seen a couple interviews with Nick. He educates without being pretentious. Good videos.

[@CatholicZola]

I'm brand new to cigars and I also appreciate these videos very much for the reasons you stated.

[@aaronhiggs]

Right? He's informative in a way that's accessible. Nick reminds me of the cool uncle that wants to teach you the proper way to do something.

[@deathrooster14]

I met him at my local shop a few years back. Very nice and very helpful with questions and recommendations. He takes a lot of pride in the quality of the products his company makes.

[@jc6565]

I have been a cigar smoker for the past 43 years. While I have been treating my cigars in this fashion, it's always good to have a refresher in proper cigar etiquette. Love listening to you on Cigar Dave. Keep up the great work that you and your family do for the enjoyment of us cigar smokers.

[@PerdomoCigars]

Hey Jeff, thanks man, I really appreciate you listening in to Dave's show. He's a great guy! We can all use a reminder. Us seasoned smokers have forgotten more than we ever knew in the beginning. Thanks for the support and for smoking Perdomo.

[@thomasgrabowski2202]

Absolutly I butchedered my first cigar so I need a refresher myself Lol.

[@user-ht9kr3tg9u]

A lot of KZbin aficionados need to watch this, I can’t stand them torching the shit out of their cigars

[@walidkanaan5141]

I have seen several videos on how to cut, light and store cigars but the elegance and finesse you show in your instructional videos are a class apart… a joy to watch. Thank you, Mr. Perdomo

[@dcj2]

"It's the heat, not the flame". If every beginner cigar smoker understood that simple concept there would be a lot more satisfied smokers in the world. Great video!

[@rocknuts]

As a beginner, I'm so pleased I watched this video first! Nick, you are the main man! Thankyou.

[@timstort8223]

The dude is legit the perfect cigar guy, looks, knowledge, voice, how he smokes and lights, it’s crazy

[@dannyh7676]

If there's a better well explained video on how to cut and light a cigar properly I've yet to see it... fantastic...what a guy..

[@randomytchan]

At 6:40, I thought he was going to say "And I can promise you one thing, you're gonna like the way you smoke. I guarantee it."

[@ptperry9013]

Nick, I smoke your Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut’s for breakfast with coffee and cream on weekends before my family wakes up...man, I love those things!!!

[@DoomRulz]

Beginner cigar smoker here. Thank you for this wonderful video! It will prove most useful :)

[@MrBikedrummer]

I'll crack out the notebook when THIS master is teaching! Brilliant

[@PerdomoCigars]

You're a good man. I give out notebooks on the factory tour. I am a fan of notes.

[@MrBikedrummer]

@@PerdomoCigars I would more than love a tour. I really enjoy the craftsmanship and painstaking time and effort put in to produce a piece of artwork that I burn in two hours. I almost feel guilty cutting and smoking a product that has taken so much effort and time to produce. I never think of tobacco growers as farmers. You are all artists.

[@buttnakedsneaks]

Thank you Oliver.

[@terryraepatterson5745]

Such a phenomenal video. I have not been instructed on how to cut, light or realistic enjoy a cigar. Thank you!

[@eriknash8783]

I don't comment on many videos, but I have to say that Nick's video's are always done very well. He gets to the point right out of the gate, holds your attention, and shares great information for your benefit. I appreciate that the intro is short, he's sharing good information, and doesn't seem to have an agenda or ego. I have grown tired of all the "big" personalities on cigar channels. This one is goldilocks, for me.

[@creekend]

[@lightnin1993]

Great video. So well done and the information is great. I think Nick is the only one explaining how to toast the foot so well and discussing the band. I’ve been into cigars for 23 years now and that’s the best most thorough info. Thank you so much. I’ve smoked quite a lot of Perdomo cigars and everyone one has been great. Good construction, probably the best, most consistent, and all full of flavor. Thank you to everyone working in the factories for their great attention to detail.
