      I had a Dupont knock off years ago as a young man. I didn't even know what a Dupont was at the time. I always wondered why the old men in the cigar shop would all stop and watch me light my cigar (and say things like you can't hide money.) 😂 I figured they were clowning on me, being a young cigar smoker. I figured out probably about 5-6 years later what was going on. It was a very, very good knock off, (black laquor , gold top) and sounded like a perfect ping. I just bought it because I liked it,

    If you haven't watched all the videos on Kirby's hunting trip to Ireland/Scotland, it's a MUST see. watch all the videos start to end. A fascinating like for sure. Also looking forward to Kirby filling up his new Walkin humidor. Fellow Texan here. 72 years old, never smoked but love the smell of a great cigar on the golf course or sporting clays range.

  • @zoltomar4759
    @zoltomar4759 2 месяца назад +1

    The ping tone change has more to do with the lid material/thickness than any sort of variation in the mechanism. That’s me guessing of course, with those prices it’s very possible that the mechanism is different.

  • @milk-it
    @milk-it 2 месяца назад

    Can't tell you how much I appreciate the comparison. The enameled versions of the New Le Grand are more expensive than the Diamond Head Gold and Palladium versions, which seems ironic given they have the sort-after classic ping.

    Uber luxury springs from the harrowing emptiness of the aimless, anchorless soul. Wealth is elusive to the wearer. A status symbol for the spiritless halfwit. A sad commentary to a life lived wrong.

    “Liadders” is just about forgiveable, but should you ever go to the French factory perhaps learn the correct pronunciation of “objets d’art” beforehand.
