    This is like a spiritual ceremony for them. From the way they talk about it all the way down to how they handle the tools used. Watching how delicate they are with the tools used placing them down so gently and back in place from where they came from. It reminds me of watching an East Asian tea ceremony(Chado, Chadao, or Dado)which can take hours sometimes. Even shows the 4 philosophies of Harmony, Respect, Purity, and Tranquility. The precision/delicacy of each movement and time preparing something that normally takes others seconds. I could watch stuff like this all day.

    It goes to show that even an experienced smoker such as I myself, if I may say so, can still learn a lot. Not just in the way the cigars are treated in this video but also in the way these gentlemen carry themselves, they are showing how a gentleman converses and shows others respect when enjoying each others company.
    This video has reinvigorated my approach to smoking a cigar and I will make sure to light cigars again in the manner so eloquently shown in this video.

Their video showcasing the art of lighting a cigar not only educates but exudes a sense of timeless sophistication akin to the appreciation of fine wine. Watching their demonstration, I found myself captivated and inspired to indulge in a moment of luxury.
    I had to pull out my father's Regius Double Corona and pairing it with a vintage 1974 Chateau Mouton Rothschild I loved both because this video resonates with the essence of indulgence and refinement. The setting of my fire, complemented by a bearskin rug, evokes a scene of opulence and tranquility, enhanced by the anticipation of my wife's eventual company. It's a testament to the atmosphere that such moments create, evoking a sense of celebration and intimacy.
    Eddie and Edward Sahakian, much like Kirby Allison, possess a rare ability to bring sophistication and expertise to a wider audience. Their presence on your channel not only elevates the understanding of cigar culture but also invites individuals to immerse themselves in the art of savoring life's finer pleasures.
    The elegance exuded by these guests undoubtedly adds a layer of richness to the experience. It's more than just the act of lighting a cigar; it's a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and the art of leisure. Your tribute to their guidance and your immersive experience with your father's cigar and a revered wine speaks volumes about the allure and magic these moments can hold.
