Quick Fire Questions With Nick Foulkes
Kirby, what temp and RH do you keep your humidor at, please? Thanks.
HEPA. True HEPA will take care of spores
Yes. For sure. I have a true HEPA air filtration device in my humidor exactly for this reason.
Ramon Allones are tasty!
Quick suggestion: If you find mold on the cigars, brush them of outside of the humidor. All precaution ;)
Yes. This is certainly a good suggestion.
65F/65RH hasn’t failed me yet
Another simple tip is to be sure to wash one’s hands before handling stored cigars. Mold is in our environment naturally and can be introduced to the cigars through contact. When the conditions present themselves (elevated temp/humidity) it grows. Another great video Kirby!
80F = 26 Deg C
Mold on a single spot like that is given by the fact that water is evaporating off the cigars, bringing on the surface all those minerals that the mold with feed off. That's very normal considering that with aging the water in the cigar tends to evaporate, and the cigars get "slimmer". What I do if something like this happens is to reduce the humidity of that specific box for a couple of months. I place the bix in a ziplock bag, using a boveda pack, and isolate it from the rest until the humidity is stable.
You can also use your wife’s toothbrush to remove any mold.
Oh hell no! Why suggest putting cigars in the freezers? regular fridge feezers are low in humidty which will destroy the cigars. the freezers in the manufactures have special freezers that are good for keeping the cigars
Plastic bag. It works
Brushing is not very good idea, because when you brush mold, its spores get on the brush and you could spread then through all of yours precious cigars. Sanitizing everything including cigars, brush and box is very good method tho.
I was thinking the same. Brushing = spreading 😅
I would say it’s not a good idea to brush them off in your humidor as you are spreading mold spores around your humidor, but hey you do you
Was thinking this whilst watching. Seems like a recipe for having to repeat the process regularly. That hepa filter won’t save your cigars
I want to live in that humidor. Great stuff per usual Kirby and Cigar Keep!
Paul McCartney and Ringo will go through anyone's cigars
Hahaha
Hahaha
Weekly cigar keep videos are superb.
Kirby, I'm dying to ask... how in the world are you able to get all those Cubans in the US? (Not ATF, just super jealous!)
Defiantly ATF
In a suitcase.
You're not allowed to directly buy them in the US, but I think you can buy them abroad and bring them to the US, rules were relaxed a few years ago
I wish I knew the answer to this, too.
You can ship up to 50 (or was it 35?), cuban cigars to the US at a time. I live in Europe and send them to my buddy in LA all the time.
Really useful tips
Good day Mr. Allison. I have an honest question and please, feel free not to answer but, how do you get so many Cuban cigars into the US without Customs being suspicious that they aren't for personal use?
Bravo Gentlemen!
I thought that because of the embargo that you couldn’t import habanos into the States. Has something changed? Could you share your secret Kirby? Beautiful humidor by the way, Vigilant does stellar work 👍
How many times you say BEAUTIFUL 😉😉😉😉
A picture of the Lusitania shop would be neat.
Nice but it’s too small brother
Aging on a different level: I have a premium 100-cigar humidor. Smoke one per month, rotation last 8 years, some keep them 10 years. On a daily basis, smoke pipe.
What a breathtaking set up you. When Edward and Eddie come to visit, which cigars would you smoke with them?
Congratulations Kirby, happy smoking
what do you guys think of the Montecristo puritos? thanks!
Huh, funny that I just smoked one of these today. Good product, similar smoke to the Zino Toro cigar line.
the way this guy botches the spanish names of the cigars...sheesh SMH!
Congratulations Kirby!
No issues coming back from the UK with Cubans? Haha
Only if you're foolish enough to declare them.
@@RevolverOcelot79if you don’t declare are chances good they will pass thru? I would stuff them in dirty underwear!!!!
How exactly are you getting these into the U.S.? I typically ignore anything about Cubans from you because I can't get them here.
Here's the thing. While "technically" it's illegal to bring them into the states, the truth of the matter is customs here in the US rarely ever checks for these things. You can buy Cubans in the UK of the UAE, for example, and simply travel back to the US with them. Just don't declare them upon entry to the US and you're 99.9% good to go.
White privilege he should give his money to BLM ✊🏿
Your Humidor is mighty!! Well done!!
Would you consider donating cigars to people who are Transgender 🏳️⚧️ disabled or a minority?
With all due respect, Kirby, no one is purchasing these cigars at such prices. Every time I visit an LCDH, the shelves are filled with unsold Cohiba, Trinidad, and Limited Editions. Habanos must recognize that the true heritage of Cuban cigars lies in their standard production lines. Iconic cigars like the Montecristo No. 2, Lusitanias, Medaille d'Or no.4, and the Specially Selected, cherished for generations, embody the heart and soul of Cuban cigar craftsmanship. Yet, they are slowly disappearing, replaced by oversized, band-laden, and exorbitantly priced creations that cater to a clientele disconnected from the rich tradition and culture of Cuban cigars...
What a fantastic point we all like the idea of these novelty cigars but the amount of duds in Cuban boxes of standard line cigars is a joke I'd rather buy a box I can smoke than bin/chop or mangle a cigar to salvage something, which let's be honest has increased scarily in recent years
@The-Penniless-Gent I must respectfully disagree with your view. Over the past three to four years, Habanos has made significant strides in improving the quality of its cigars. It is now rare to encounter a plugged cigar or one that is improperly filled. Naturally, the finest leaves are reserved for premium lines, but this is a practice seen with every brand globally, not just Cuban cigars. What I find intolerable, however, is that the only Cuban cigars currently available are those in the Cohiba and Trinidad lines, along with the outrageously priced "limitadas," while the regular lines are nowhere to be found. Brands like Hoyo, H. Upmann, and Ramón Allones offer a fantastic range of vitolas, yet nothing seems to be available at the moment. This shortage is largely the result of a deliberate marketing strategy by Habanos. Faced with a limited supply of tobacco, they have chosen to prioritize these high-end cigars, leaving true aficionados without access to the iconic cigars that played a pivotal role in shaping the legendary reputation of the Cuban cigar industry.
@@ludovicofusco1404I’m still having quality problems from boxes dated 2021-2024
An excellent comment, complemented by thoughtful insights from everyone in the ensuing discussion. I must concur that true aficionados of Cuban cigars-a circle to which I humbly aspire-seem to have grown disenchanted with the recent influx of limitadas and the dominance of Cohiba and Trinidad. The challenge of finding boxes of classic Ramon Allones or H. Upmann has only heightened, and I, too, have yet to observe any notable improvement in their quality. I must confess, over the past year or so, I have increasingly turned my attention to New World cigars, whose consistency undeniably surpasses that of their Cuban counterparts.
Hi Kirby. Thankyou for the update. That looks like a fine cigar. Well presented.
I think you're degrading to the level of Habano cigarros!
Incredible collection and what an investment! Are you smoking in your home, yet?
Your the man Kirby!! Smoke on...
Haven't had a Bolivar yet. Probably won't get to try the habanos unfortunately....but congrats. Whatever you do, don't invite me over. I'll be fingering you sticks hahah
they are illegal in the US right?????????????????
Yes
Only illegal if you get caught... Just don't declare them.
Cigar must cost a fortune.
First I just wanted to say that it's such a pleasure watching these videos. If you were to start a table top humidor that holds about 250 cigars, what would be a good special occasion box to get? Thanks!
I think this boy hasn't grown up
Must be selling a TON of hangers! That collection is crazy
It's literally part of his business.
He's sacrificing parts of his businesses for cigars. He's blowing an insane amount of money, but not enough to actually affect him.
Everything is a business transaction lol! Notice how he always says "The Kirby Allison Humidor by Vigilante" do you really think that`s a coincidence lol? He probably got a decent discount on his humidor by doing this marketing for them. Also, he doesnt randomly pick out retailers to visit, he will visit those that agree to give him a discount / pay him in exchange for his visit. There is a reason why he didnt go to Holland & Holland on the shoot to suite, because they dont need the exposure and wouldnt pay for it. Just about everything Kirby does is transactional in nature (Albeit i dont think that`s the case for Davidoff or Kent, Haste and Lacther to that big of a degree)
Where are the umbrellas!
Once in my life I would like to taste the difference between a true vintage Cuban and what we consider a new world Cuban seed blend.
Let’s add a high back chair and side table in there for “sampling” ;)
How are we going to cope in the UK when we can’t smoke anywhere? What will happen to the cigar lounges if we are banned from even smoking outside. It’s so worrying 😢 UK government say smoke free country by 2030 - basically ban on smoking in 6 years time. Ironic that English pipe blends will soon not be able to be smoked in England. Kirby we seriously need your help in the UK. The cigar shops need to lobby their MP’s to stop this and we need America to say how silly this is.
You can't be banned from smoking outside. You really think there is any way to enforce that? If you can't do basic things like that good luck on actual rights. Oh wait those have already been taken in the uk as well. I wonder how that happened?
Stop depressing me mate
Those smoking laws are only for those disgusting common people. Rich upper class and finance class will of course be granted their expensive cigar lounges with their expensive cigars. Didn't you know that, silly goose??
@@ar007rlol, uk is truly lost
There's lounges..
If only they did Ramon Allones Gigantes in 50 cab too. We can but dream....😶🌫️
How are you getting all of these contraband cigars into the country?
He has...ways...
@@Joedirt3349 He is lucky he doesn't have USCBP and ATF...
You can bring back cigars from Europe for your own use. Limited number but still.
@@artofshootinginmotion2871 No, you can't. That was stopped in 2020.
@@grognard Legally the rule changed but as I told another poster, custom in the US doesn't check for this stuff. Super easy to get these back into the US from other countries. Just don't declare them and you're good to go.
