the band is a big part of how I pick cigars so that thing is staying on lol...too much cool artwork and design. for me its like craft beer, so many have neat labels and that's part of the fun for me.
Should see it in Canada. Plain packaging has left us with green boxes and green bands. A lot of OG bands are under them...but you certainly aren't able to tell what's what at a quick glance.
The one thing that I had to learn as a newbie is just because someone is polite doesn’t mean they want a big chat….it’s an obvious one but when you’re totally new it can be hard to figure out people’s dynamics
You forgot one. Don't be bragging about how much money you make or have. Don't boast about the cigar your smoking being expensive. Cigars are an expensive hobby. Everybody in the lounge does ok with money, And they don't want to hear it.
C W - Thanks for your comment. This subject is one that we've talked about in the lounge and it hits home for some people. People that have wealth don't talk about it - there's no need!
I’m a new cigar smoker and this is great info. I really appreciate you guys lacing me up about how to conduct myself in a lounge. Is it common to bring alcohol in a lounge?
We apologize for the delay. By now you may have discovered the rules on BYOB to a lounge. Always check with the proprietor first, rules vary at various lounges. At our lounge, you can bring and leave a bottle (libation), but it's customary to offer others.
Very sound advice

I also collect the cigar bands and write notes about my smoking experience ( flavor notes, burn, complexities, etc. )
Thats a terrible way to pick a cigar
@@deelewis8061 its a good thing you aint paying for them or smokin them LOL

Thank you. We appreciate the feedback

What to do?: My friend and I enjoy cigars, and I (and my wife) have been invited over to
his house. Do I bring cigars or should the host provide them?
Sorry for the long delay, we've been dealing with health issues. Always bring cigars and have at least one for the host.

Buy extra cigars and give one or two away. Don’t talk politics, treat everyone like your brother.
What a nice pair of dudes. These are the guys I like to set aside in a smoke lounge.
I’m going to start using that word again in 2023 (Moocher) That’s from back in the days cab Callaway
BS often flows freely in a cigar lounge.
Yes, it does. I always say 'read the room'. Some BS can be entertaining.
In that case the world is one big cigar lounge
When someone give me a cigar, I will reciprocate with giving by giving a cigar of at least one of equal quality
One of the etiquette modes in my circle is sharing/gifting someone a cigar.
Thank you gentlemans! Great tips
Enjoyed this conversation and learned a bit too. Thanks guys.

Just not pils or beer 🍺 please. 😆 Even espresso ☕️ seems more respectable. Or better a cognac and coffee cocktail... 🤭
Really like that you are doing these in your unique outdoor setting. Good advice!!
Glad you like them!. More to come
Great video, thanks! Nice hat-what’s it called? I’d love to get one. Thx
I'm gonna buy Bob a wristwatch. Nice looking piece, Louis.
Thank you. I am a watch collector ( of sorts). I appreciate the compliment.

Herman - Thank you. We apologize for the delay. The pandemic has hindered our video production and Bob took time off to get married.
