Cigar notes are a myth. They are an American invention to give uninteresting people something to talk about. Real cigar smokers know this, we just light up and smoke then enjoy the flavour of burning tobacco. You should try it son.

Well said. And spoken like a true cigar aficionado. I’ve had two Cuban cigars in my life (Hoyo De Monterrey and Montecristo) and they were good, but not the best I’ve ever smoked. Halfwheel regularly reviews Cubans cigars and so do other cigar outlets and some do very well, and others are mediocre. There is no correlation I have seen where Cuban cigars are objectively better than new world cigars based on the reviews by trusted sources who review cigars, granted that’s one person’s opinion with a palate that’s very likely different from yours. My problem with Cuban cigars are the smokers, some act like they have a more refined palate than everyone else, and preach the “superiority of Cuban tobacco” (something only the Cuban cigar industry says) and lose their minds when Cuban cigars score lower than non-Cuban cigars / new world cigars. Heck on Halfwheel one scored a 67, and a few people acted offended and demanded Halfwheel change their scoring and insisted they had a bias against Cuban cigars. It was very cringe and pathetic. All in all, quality is dropping and the prices are going up. So my answer would simply be: “no”, Cuban cigars are not objectively the best in the world. The best cigar is the one you enjoy the most, any real cigar smoker will tell you the same thing. Cheers brotha!

I suppose if you know you have the real deal order online from somewhere like Switzerland and see if customs seizes them or not. US customs should be trained to know if a Cuban cigar is real or not right? Although I’ve also heard stories of US Customs sometimes not seizing Cuban cigars especially if it’s a very low amount they tend to not care and they end up in the USA. I don’t think US Customs would seize and confiscate fake Cuban cigars would they?

I truly appreciate the topic and the entirety of the interview. The points touched on spirituality and respect are the main reasons why I got into the use of cigars, by extension of tobacco. As a child, I grew up to the essences of my grandfather sit in the shade of his favorite spot in the yard sipping coffee with his tobacco pipe in hand…. As an adult working in the project management department. I have some tough days that the only way to get relax is the ritual of the cigar. It’s deeper than we think, it’s a deep spiritual experience of a journey from lit to offering the end to the ancestors and local land spirits. Thank you 😊

I've had a cheap humidor since 2018. Quick maintenance once or twice a year, and I've never had any issues.

Nice content! I just found your channel through my favorite cigar group on fb, Cigar Smokers Worldwide.

Thanks for showing people this crap there selling

I have 3 Amazon humidors of differing sizes and they have all been doing a sterling job this past year and a half.Just make sure to use bovedas and invest in some GOOD hygrometers.✌️💨

Its a cigar cuban or non cuban enjoy what you can get

I wish that I saw this video yesterday, my Amazon humidor arrives today. I now consider this my first rookie mistake and hope that they’re fewer in the long run. Thanks for your tips and advice. 🍻

Just found your channel and watched all your videos. Love the cigar lounge talks.

can do a video on the undercown 10

thanks

I’ve got an Amazon humidor and it’s great. I could have got a mega-expensive one but, I’m sure that if I wrenched the lid back and punched the shit out of it…..it would break too 🤷🏻‍♂️

Definitely one of my favorite smokes 👍🏾

All fair points but you did leave the most important thing out. A humidor needs a good seal. The test is you open the humidor lid and let it fall shut. If it doesn’t immediately slam shut then it has a good seal. If it makes a loud bang. Wood hitting wood, the seal is garbage and Ive seen beautiful 200 hundred dollar humidors with garbage seals. Another test is put a small flash light in the humidor, turn all the lights off in the room and make sure it’s near dark. If you see any light shining through the seal or anywhere else? Garbage humidor. All that means is you have a 200 dollar wood box that will not keep humidity. You can get a good plain jane humidor for around 80 to 100 bucks. Even 50 to 60 will do. As long as you aren’t looking for a 100 count or more

I purchased a cedar sweater chest and use it as my humidor.

I don't buy them unless I'm in Cuba.

Great video looks like a fun place to visit!!

So here's the deal. A Humidor is a just a box that's tight enough to maintain a consistent humidity, has a moisture delivery system that allows you to increase humidity as needed, and has a device to read the relative humidity. The Amazon humidors do just that. The veneers are real wood of varying thickness. Are they as sturdy and as long lasting as a real solid wood humidor? No! But they're a good option to store and preserve your cigars in a nice looking box until you can afford something of higher quality! Just know what you're getting into and invest in a higher quality / more accurate digital hygrometer to put in it that you can use in your tupperware or high dollar humidor as well.

Tupperware humidor,they work perfect,and they are cheap!

Are there good African cigars?

Sounds interesting!

Its definitely an easy thing to forget either on a new cutter being excited or because, as you said, the manufacturer says NO LUBE so newer people will assume they arrive clean. On your #1 cutter you just kind of forget that oil does build up over time and can cause a bit of a bitter first draw.

Thank you for the honest review.

Can you recommend one? I'm looking for a small cabinet one. was going to go with the Glencreag. I'm really at the point in just making one myself if need be.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m searching around for a good one now.

First of all Cuban cigars aren't illegal in the US just illegal to sell

No there not pardon cigars are the best

That's why Jeff Bezos is the second richest man in the world. He sell's garbage and if Amazon Customers don't understand this, then they deserve the garbage they purchase. I have bought a Humidor from Amazon that serves its purpose but it wasn't cheap either. $699.99 for a New Air x Boveda and it's holding up well. No complaints here, yet. Either way, you got to buy Boveda Humidity Packs for any humidor. It's a great piece in my opinion.

The deviation in draw is absolutely a real thing. I am blessed to travel outside the country 3 to 5 times a year and only shop at La Casa Del Habanos stores due to the reasons that you have presented.

Buyer - Product damaged in shipping Amazon - Valid.

exact answer!

I dunno, I’ve had a glass top one for 2 years. Seasoned for 2 weeks with a 84% bag then 69% always full of sticks holds humidity perfectly. The gauge that comes with it shows humidity at 60% but my digital one shows dead on 69%. Personally I’d rather spend my money on more cigars than an expensive humidor at the moment. If I ever had a large collection I’d invest in one but I only tend to keep 20-25 at a time and re stock soon as down to ten

The day you get a gift box “drop” full of Sanjay Patels from the circle jerk of cigar bro D-bolsas who dominate u-toob I’m quitting your channel 🤣🤣😉

That onyx ring would get Foulkes & Sons jealous

I rarely smoke cigars inside a lounge, but on one particular occasion overseas an elegant fellow politely asked if others wanted his rather smokey nub extinguished before he departed, and he masterfully suffocated the cherry in the ashtray (gently pressed it down perpendicularly until the smoke ceased). I found that classy.

Finally!!! Not another cigar bro doing reviews! Excellent video, great points, and awesome style (the hats, the shirts, the desk). Finally an adult is in the room. I don’t know how so many people do not understand that most Cubans (check the box’s date stamp) need appropriate (years) aging. Thanks!

ferrari and Lamborghini are just fragile over priced shit boxes too

Grabbed a 29 dollar one a few months ago and have had sticks in it this whole time. as long as you dont purposefully try to rip it apart its more than fine. I got cheaps and spendier sticks in mine and have had zero problems with it. I guess when i go reach for a smoke i dont fling the thing open. its part of the ritual, delicate opening. Its not a tank, I am not going to handle it like it is.

I didn't expect it to be built like a tank, it does the job just fine and holds humidity, I've got about $1000 worth of cigars in 2 of these, most of the reviews say the same from people that actually bought them

I know you have this filmed for tiktok type sites but you would be better off filming in portrait mode for RUclips. You have good quality and content mate, I would really like to see you do well. Keep up the quality and I'm sure you're gonna make it.

This holds true with watch winders as well

He's RIGHT ITS SHIT!! I have one of those and I don't put anything in it..Its ok if you're just a sometime cigar smoker and don't have a lot of GOOD CIGARS!! LIKEI do I spend a lot on my cigars so I invested in a electric cigar humidor and I have a real wooden humidor...

i was looking for some adorini humidor from amazon. did not buy it yet cuz i am not sure if it is ok or not

This dude just discovered physics. Bro it's not trying to be a $17 nuclear bunker for your family.

Thanks for the Tupperware tip!

How Can i resharpening the cutter???

Thank you for this breakdown! I’m a novice but often notice that I never really “feel” my cigars until it’s less than half 😂. Now I know why 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
