@@holtscigarshow about: is it acceptable to use Tupperware rather than a wood humidor? How to treat the opening and closing of Tupperware (e.g. I’ve heard that you need to open your tupperdor to let out the air and let in new air, whereas with wood I’ve heard you need to open as quickly as possible, choose your cigar quickly, and close it up just as quickly)?
Excellent vid. I bought my first premium cigar in my 20s too, a Hoyo de Monterey Sabroso from Holts. Got my suits at Morvilles, my shoes from Sansom Bros and my cigars from Holts. Those were the days.
The crazy thing is I actually don't care for the first 3rd of the Cigar. Once I get to the first change, that's when I slow down I take my time and I enjoy. Then that half piont ooooh that's what we are talking about. By that ending 3rd if it's great then I'm going till my fingers burn.
Great info guys enjoyed it. I have just a couple thoughts and a question on humidors. I’m actually in the process of building a home bar it will be a blend of speak easy /cigar bar named “The Robusto Lounge” I’m pumped and it’s a dream of mine. My question is what do you think of cooler/humidors which obviously are temperature and humidity controlled? Also like grouping same types of blends when aging and for some reason I fear that like having no air movement isn’t good am I wrong? One other comment I really like enjoying all types of cigars and I love some of the big brands say Fuente for instance but they don’t give you much information on the specific cigar your smoking where as others do? I really like to dive deep and learn what roller(person) put their hands on my product and give them praise! Thanks again boys!!
There are some enthusiasts who insist that different cigars sitting next to each other in a humidor will "marry" flavors. We typically don't find that to be something to be concerned about. Even if it happens, it isn't to the point where it drastically will alter the flavor of a blend. Plug in humidors are a great option! Finding information on the cigar (besides makeup) is different for every factory. Hope this helps, thanks for the comment!
I don’t think all cigars taste the same? But I can’t tell you about notes I’m tasting? I’m a guy that loves the relaxing part of smoking a cigar. I just put on some relaxing music, sit on my back deck and look at the stars as I relax while enjoying a good cigar. Better than meditation.
I love his videos can’t wait for my November monthly 5 pack He always delivers great content 👍🏻 my collection is growing and I’m now able to get in 2 or 3 sticks a day
This is the Best Cigar Channel in the industry. Good solid practicle advise and focus on the experience of cigar enjoyment. I appreciate the videos and clear information.
Hi, guys! Great job you both and your team do out there, enjoy it a lot, keep it going! About humidity: I live on the island where normal humidity level varies from 70 to 84% and have noticed that my cigars feel just fine in that humidity range (draw is perfect, cigars feel nice and fresh) though it's much higher than it's usually recommended, how's that possible?
Protection for having your cigars on the go, most tubos have a cedar sleeve inside that enhances the cigar with extra cedar notes, and presentation is great if you're giving the cigar as a gift!
We typically tell consumers flavor marriage is not something we think will drastically change the flavor of a cigar, if at all. If you experiment with aging your cigars you will get what you're looking for. Leave a cigar in your humidor for a few months and see how you like it!
Great Video once again guys... Just catching up on the channel as I've been working my ass off... Nice to sit and chill with a couple of cigars (Davidoff today) and catch up on the awesome content... Have a smoke have a drink and be mellow out there.
pardon the repetition: there arent different proportions of different tobaccos across the structure of a cigar? if not is it the relative heat moving through the cigar that affects the taste resulting at the end with almost too powerful flavors?
Mazz is wise beyond his years. As a business owner myself (in music) from the outside looking in people think its parties, gigs and recording studios. The reality is far far from that. Owning your own business is great, but tough.
I always wondered why that when I enjoy cigars that are 20-30 years old, they all have a taste of hay? Most of the older cigars that I get have been in humidors for all these years and I have had a good variety but like I said, they mostly have a taste of hay. Why is that?
Absolutely mega, thank you so much to both of you. Anthony every time I listen to your amazing experience, I fall more in love with the cigar industry.
Before you answered that last question, I said to myself gotta be Padron, My Father, and Fuente. I like that you threw Perdomo in there too. Guess I do have a refined palate like Mr. Mazz!
Anthony and Faccia, I was perplexed when I bought two Cigars from two different Shops that I regularly buy from that I know keep their sticks properly humidified and I cracked all four on the cut and started losing the wrapper, of course I thought it must be me, however I am very careful to cut properly, turned out it was a new cutter I had purchased that was terribly dull, lesson learned, keep up the great work you guys do, thanks, Eric
One thing I wanted to ask, I have a guillotine cutter not sure what the measurements are on it but if I have a large ring gauge cigar, is it possible that my cutter could be too small for my cigar? I recently had a pretty big one and the cut wasn’t as pristine but maybe I didn’t do a perfect job on it either. Open to suggestions.
Yes, it's possible for your cutter to be too small for your cigar. You can purchase a larger guillotine cutter. Xikar sells the Xikar M8 70 Ring Cutter that fits ring gauges up to 70 no problem.

This was a great video. You guys are made for Q and A and complement each other so well. Can tell you have known each other for a long time!
Drew Estate ( Nica )
Old Davidoff ( Dom ) but perhaps…. That’s not fair since that supply wouldn’t last. So
Fuente ( Dom )
Cohiba ( Cuba)
Excellent vid. I bought my first premium cigar in my 20s too, a Hoyo de Monterey Sabroso from Holts. Got my suits at Morvilles, my shoes from Sansom Bros and my cigars from Holts. Those were the days.
Love you Mazz! Wanted to ask , you never mention LFD. curious to know if you are a fan or not?
For sure! We just covered them recently in a review of the La Nox
Was waiting for the Perdomo in the top favorites and boom! Hands down, my favorite channel to watch on cigars!
Salute gentlemen!
Seeing my question in the intro made my day. Thanks guys!
My three choices:
Arturo Fuente
Perdomo
Davidoff

Love the content gang! Keep the videos coming. Been learning so much about cigar culture through watching these videos
Love this video!

That's what it's all about 🙌
If I had to do 3 brands
Ashton (if I also get La aroma de Cuba)
My father
Padron

If they stayed consistently at 84% you’d have draw issues. With that said if it’s not broke don’t fix it 😅
@@anthonymazzola4470 Got it 😅🤝
Question guys…what is the advantage of a tubed cigar?
Protection for having your cigars on the go, most tubos have a cedar sleeve inside that enhances the cigar with extra cedar notes, and presentation is great if you're giving the cigar as a gift!
Awesome Blends 👏🏼👏🏼 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
What three cigars would you age together to good flavor marriage

Excellent vid, gents 👍 Thoughtful and helpful answers.
mazz invited faccia to the cigar industry... and the greatest love story was born!
Faccia 🔥🔥🔥 ... Great video, Great questions
Footwear immaculate as always! Also, great video as always, loving it! Greetings!
Enjoying this video guys! 🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼 Ever thought about doing a A.J Fernandez review or opinion?
For sure Victor, we actually have one in the works right now 👀 We've covered some of his blends in the past as well if you want to find those 👊
Had I known Ashton was a subset of Fuente I would have guessed Fuente Padron my father…. Guess I been watching my man mazz a long time lol
Great Video once again guys...

“I was a young kid” - interpretation = Mazz is much older than me 😅. Nice work, fellas.
We should open a humidor in the lehigh valley pennsylvania (allentown) either way if you guys sre hiring hit me up
pardon the repetition: there arent different proportions of different tobaccos across the structure of a cigar? if not is it the relative heat moving through the cigar that affects the taste resulting at the end with almost too powerful flavors?
I just bought a case elegance humidor. Didn't know of Savoy.

What's the strongest cigar currently available?
Hello Max As always great information, watch you every weekend when enjoying a premium cigar in the backyard with my son, ps they call me Max also😁
Love to hear it, thanks for watching!
Great video! Can you review the Nub Nuance?
You gentlemen are fascinating, I have just began smoking a cigar every now and then, definitely a enjoyable experience
Why do some cigars in the last 1/3rd have a burning taste or like I’m inhaling a fire taste?
Smoking too fast can cause that. Try slowing down and purging your next cigar in the final third!
@@holtscigars like don’t draw in a puff so hard?
Yes, and puff less frequently as well. Once or twice a minute is a good pace
3 brands Perdomo, SP1014 & La Aroma DE Cuba. Great video and always enjoy my time at Holts smoked first time in a lounge a couple weeks ago. Thanks
My top 3 are Baccarat, Ashton and Drew estates
You guys are great, I've tried a bunch of your recommendations, home run every time!
Appreciate you're videos guys really cool thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice relaxing video. Would love to see a video tour of Holts!
Hand down would be a great vid!

Thank you Eric 👊
Love it! What is life, but a play and we the actors!
Well I am seasoning my humidor with distilled water for about 4 days and humidity is at 80% now. Is it safe to put in the boveda now and cigars?
Yes, you should be good to go!
@@holtscigars thanks alot, I didn’t expect an answer on a year old video, appreciate it 👌 you guys thought me alot☺️
My father the judge, my father the judge , my father the judge

How come you guys never offer discounts for youtube fallowers?
RUclips doesn't like that
Wondaful ❤️
Perdomo, Fuente, Pepin.

Fuente Fuente and….. Fuente
Totally agree on not aging pre aged cigars. They take the time to invest in the environment they sit in to get that flavor.
💯
Excellent video well-informed you guys are great. Keep them coming.!!!
Have you ever had a top rated cigar and have been disappointed in it or thought it was overrated and if so what was it?
Anthony's top 4 factories ... spot on! Bravo!
Without a doubt those are my top 3 factories as well! 🍂
5 seconds in and I bet I can guess the brands…. Ashton, Fuente, Padron…. Let’s see if I’m right….
