    Many of you will know I absolutely love visiting my good friends, the Sahakians, at their store Davidoff of London on Jermyn street, every time I visit London. This time, however, Eddie invited me to visit another treasure of theirs: The Edward Sahakian Cigar Lounge at the Bulgari Hotel!
    This is a cigar lover's paradise. Situated inside the famous Bulgari Hotel in the heart of Knightsbridge, this cigar lounge has the distinct honor of having access to a selection of both rare and vintage cigars from Edward Sahakian's private humidor. For a real connoisseur, this lounge gives you an opportunity to sample a selection of cigars that are almost impossible to get anywhere else!
    Edward Sahakian is the owner of Davidoff of London, one of the world's finest cigar shops, in addition to being one of the world's foremost cigar aficionados in his own right.

    I've dearly been smoking cigars with my father since I was 16, and for my 18th Birthday I'm going to travel to the UK, I plan on visiting the Sahakian lounge and having a nice cigar, You have showed us through this series the great hospitality of this truly amazing bunch of humble gentleman. Thank you for making these splendid videos, wishing you and your family the best of times.

    I had my 1st Charter Oak Connecticut tonight. 6x60. I've passed by this cigar so many times because my lounge has it retailing for $6.95. I don't usually bother with cigars under $10 and figured it must be lousy. Then I saw the 93 rating and had to give it a try. Glad I did. Really enjoyable cigar.
