Can we talk about just how gorgeous the B-roll shots for these videos are? The stunning, elegant, and subtle camera movement is straight up A E S T H E T I C
I am 76 and have been smoking for many years. A toro is my favorite size. Just the right amount of time invested and time for flavors to come thru. Thanks Guys
I'm new to the hobby. The toro seems to be about the right size for me as well. Not opposed to a robusto - but if I have the option, I like a little more time to relax.
Evan as a seasoned smoker I prefer the Robusto size cigars. I get a great amount of time to relax and enjoy what I am smoking. When I am short on time I grab a LFD DL452 ( Not for starter smokers). When I have hours to kill ...I can grab a LFD DIgger with 8 inches of tobacco bliss. ( Also not for starter smokers) . Hey, Mazz talks about Ashton cigars....I talk about LFD. P.S. Guys, great information that all new smokers need to know.
Wonderful info, thanks guys, thanks taken away a lot of angst from going to a proper cigar shop here in 🇬🇧 I think I'm looking at cigarillos during the week, and a robusto or half corona etc to celebrate it's over! 🤣
For newbies I'd even cut this selection to robusto and corona, excluding toro, not even due to the smoking time, budget etc., but due to the amount of nicotine your body is capable to process without getting sick... With that said corona and robusto are just perfect to avoid possible unpleasant experience and get the best of your cigar 🙌 Spot on video as usually, guys 👌
Man I cannot more relate to that.. just yesterday I had a "stronger" toro than what Im used to. The cigar was so good I puffed on it like a train. Ended being nic sick lol 0/10 would not recommend 😂
Went to my first cigar shop on the weekend with the Mrs , we went into the humidor at Bondi cigar store and I knew exactly what to get, thanks to you maz 🎉 cheers
I'm not entirely sure why aficionados in the States don't really dig into smaller ring gauges, never see any petit coronas, half coronas, panetelas, lonsdales or similar sizes coming from US. Anything below 46 is a no go but... they are absolute flavour bombs!
Well i have to say you are right, but I personally like some of the smaller ring gauges too. I'm not a huge fan of 6x60 ring gauge. My assumption is that the larger ring gauges and slightly longer sticks (6x52 etc) smoke longer and still have a lot of flavor. So maybe....just maybe, its because most of us can sit and enjoy that stick for an hour+ as opposed to 30 to 45 minutes. But you do bring up a great point. in fact one lounge in my area seems to only carry 6x60 sticks. Then i looked at who hung out there and it was a bunch of Overly wanna be macho guys. The type who thing a lancero is only for women. But hey, to each their own.
Solidly in the game for a little over 20 years now! When I first started out, I couldn't tell which way was up and often committed to whatever was mailed to me by online retailers. Just recently, however, I've started to sample some of the larger ring gauges and have truly enjoyed the variety they offer in terms of the experience. As always, another terrific and informative video. Thanks so much for sharing...
Just joined the monthly club, and received the July shipment. Super fast shipment, well packed, and a great selection. Also purchased the La Aroma de Cuba 'Best Sellers' Assortment. I am newbie, and I appreciate all the informational videos, and the clubhouse.
Me and wife last tuesday went to Gatlinburg and ate at the greenbrier for r anniversary. I noticed a cigar list on the spirts menu. We have never part taken in cigars or smoking. So we gave it a shot. Perodomo, champagne 10th anniversary was recommended by the women that handles the cigar and bar area.. she cut it for us. And said dont inhale and take your time and relax and sit out by the fire pit. We hate smoking and being around it... it was a great experience and enjoyable.. we will do it again on special occasions for sure. And i might partake even more. I thought it was gonna be like cigarettes smoke. Im happy we decided to try new things. Also she poured us both a woodford. Mine with a big rd ice ball. It was refreshing. Cant wait to try another kind and flavors.
My first cigar was a romeo y julieta reserva real minutos petites, good cigar, small, more of a cigarello but it was nice and I still buy them on occasion. I have a box for each of my children that I buy the week they are born. I didn't buy larger format cigars until later but it was the minutos petites that made me fall in love.
For me I like the double corona. I plan my time to enjoy a cigar. Especially if I go to a cigar shop or lounge I try to plan at least one and a half hours to decompress and enjoy a cigar. On the golf course, it can be a few double corona’s. I enjoy your channel.
I bought my first cigars today for a reunion with my Army buddies. Diesel whiskey row, Churchill, a medium/full body flavor profile, I went in knowing my palette and knowing I prefer stronger flavors, but I didn't want to go all in on a straight full body. We're going to be sipping some mid shelf bourbon and reminiscing on the dumb shit we did in the Army together, and playing catch up learning what we're up to now.
Love the info guys. 6 months in as new cigar smoker and I started with Robusto but prefer Toro and Churchill sizes now. I am a fairly big guy and other sizes seam too small for me.
When it comes to trying something new (and I'm still in a places where just about everything is new), robusto or corona are the sizes I prefer. Churchill are only for those I know and like when I have the time. I'm grateful that the cigar of the month club comes in mostly robusto size. If I could presume upon Mazz and Facc for a future video would be a deeper dive on cutting especially with shaped cigars.
Always start small. You must build a tolerance for nicotine. If you don't have a tolerance for nicotine, that will be something you build up with use. Ingesting certain amounts of nicotine for you the first time, you won't feel very well, and the opposite of relaxed; probably won't want to pick up another stick again. Get a petite corona from a quality known brand and work your way to others. if you don't like it, you won't have guilt tossing it. On related note, today's smoke, Opus X Petite Lancero with iced coffee (my go to drink with cigars), also picked up some weekend goods; Plasencia Cosecha 151, Plasencia Reserva Original and a Rocky Patel Edge A10. So far have smoke 3 of my Oliva sampler, The Connecticut Churchill, Serie O and G. The Connecticut was surprisingly delicious.
Nice video! I generally go for Parejo, mainly a combination of Toro and Robusto. I only go for figurado when there is a specific brand or blend that comes really good on this specific shape.
Great video! Makes me want to hold off lighting up the Opus X Love Affairs I just bought for my soon to be son in law until I can discover flavor notes.
Great video guys, I appreciate the content always. When your video drops I watch. A suggestion though, for those who may be new like me a explanation of ring sizes and gauges would have been nice. You are talking about these different sizes and ring gauges but to in beginner these names are foreign and don't know where they land as far as cigar sizes are concerned. Keep up the great work, love the video with Facc.
Thank you! We will cover it in a future video but until then for reference, cigar sizes have two numbers like 6x52 for example. The first number is the length of the cigar in inches. The second number is the ring gauge out of 64ths of an inch. So a 64 ring gauge would be one inch in diameter.
Have to say as a former cigarette smoker, my first cigars did (and some still do) feel massive in the hand. It's definitely intimidating. I'm not sure about dissuading new smokers from perfecto. I've only been doing this for a month or so, and two of my favorites are perfectos: Fuente Hemingway and Olive G Maduro. Sure, I'm not getting the full experience of a more experienced tobacconist, but they are damn fine cigars. It was interesting and fun to learn. The Internet is FULL of useless info (like which end to light 😂😂).
my general take on cigar sizes has always been time it takes to smoke. Not many beginners have the luxury to have sit-down time just to smoke (they maybe are simply smoking on work breaks, occasional golf outings, vacation, etc.) where they can pick and choose which sizes emits their favorite palettes irrespective of time. It wasn't until I started smoking more regularly where size really became a factor for flavor.
So today I had my first real cigar (Have had cigarillos before). Its a quorum short robusto, about $6 us considering cigars are far more expensive here in South Africa. Things couldn't have gone more wrong. I didn't have a cigar cutter, why would I for a first time smoker, they cost a fortune here. The kitchen scissors and knife demolished the head of the cigar. I then got a partially good cut with a box knife/carpet knife. Next, the brand new butane jet lighter I bought gave in before the cigar was properly lit, so I ended up with a soft flame gas lighter. Heres the thing. Despite all this, every third or fourth puff had such a pleasant aroma/taste, and as such I absolutely can't wait to retry on cigar number 2 in a few weeks.
Solid video content - well done! my go-to size has to be the Toro, but love Churchills too (especially, when I want to smoke like a boss 🤪) Thanks Guys!
I started on coronas, then went wild on trying sizes, and now I'm back to coronas. Though, that said, 40-52 ring gauge is perfect for me, anything in that bracket and I'm happy.
It's been almost 3 years I've been Smoking Cigars on a more consistent basis. I tend to enjoy carona and ronusto formats the most. Lately though I've been picking up a belicoso or torpedo formats on blends I'm familiar with. For me time and location is an issue. The nearest cigar lounge is an hour plus. Reluctantly my wife has been cool with me enjoying a cigar or 2 in the house. If provided It after 10pm. So for now the carona formats give me the perfect time frame.
Time and weather is another consideration if you dont smoke inside. My go to is a toro, but living in the southern US, a robusto is good for that summer heat. Cigarillos for those extra hot days
My favorite size is the lonsdale (or cervantes), but this size is less popular and less produced by brands. So, I smoke mainly Toro (or Corona gorda), Robusto and Corona.
Hey, new to cigars here! Im from 🦘 Australia and well the prices here are crazy compared to what I see in America and London, ive had to start with Café Crème Aroma cigarillos as they're $30 for 10.... Today i purchased Amanda Slim Corona, roughly $50 for 5. Both brands are machine made in belgium, some of the cigars that you recommend here are $80-$150 for 1.. is this normal? Or am I just poor 😂
I really enjoy the “Flying Pig” shape that Drew Estates does. I enjoy robusto and toro like most everyone else, but if I can, I tend to gravitate towards the flying pig shape.
Why you guys don’t do the COTM club video a week before the end of the month. For the people that are already on it they’ll look forward to what’s coming next month and people that are not might become interested and get a membership for it. I already have a membership but I just think this could be beneficial to getting subscriptions up!
@@holtscigars thank you! I just watched that one and it definately helped! But I'm still not sure I'm doing it right, as I'm still getting uneven burns sometimes. So... if you all ever find yourself looking for content to post, maybe a vid of you lighting 5 or 10 cigars. Close up, nothing but lighting, lol.
I think even shorter cigars like short robusto and petit cornas might also be good options cause as a newbie you might not be able to handle bigger size like Toro.
Question: what is the best way to deal with a cigar that doesn’t seem to draw well? Sometimes I encounter this, and it seems to burn too hot, but still not draw right.
To late already jumped…. Was a occasional smoker but I realized life is short and I love cigars so I just jumped in filled up a 200 count humidor before I even got it and still have more cigars coming lol
We have! If you look on our channel you will find reviews for Padron 80 years, LFD Andalusian Bull, Plasencia Alma Fuerte, AJF New World Dorado all in perfecto shapes just to name a few.
It depends on your smoking pace, your environment, and how humidified the cigar is. Generally speaking a Robusto can last you about 45 minutes, and a Churchill about an hour +.
As a European cigar smoker these all seem too big for me. I tend to chill with a 26 - 30 ring gauge and about 4 inchs long, though I had read that they hadn't catch on ever in the states. Great for sampling.
Except a lot of stores sell the same blend for the same price regardless of the size. Hard to pay the same money for a cigar half the size. It's Churchill or nothing for me baby!
Best Beginners Cigar is machine-made Villiger Sumatra No.1, start with something cheap easy to smoke with no accessories needed other than Bic lighter.
Gentlemen, Nothing irritates me more ( and I choose happiness everyday !) than a friend who thinks they can be a cigar smoker and you offer them a high quality , brand name mild stick even in robusto size ( 8-15 bucks today ) and they light it several times and leave four of the five inches in the ashtray ! This just happened to me a week ago and the same guy did the same thing a few years ago. I should have learned my lesson. My go to is a toro but I try multiple sizes and my only gripe with a corona is if it is really good I am sad to see it end ! slainte, JZ

O ya, every time I watch a video I have the need to lite up
I am 76 and have been smoking for many years. A toro is my favorite size. Just the right amount of time invested and time for flavors to come thru. Thanks Guys
One of my favorite sizes too. I can get up to the Gordo size especially when I have more time to smoke
I always have like Toro and Gordo. I have smoked around 50 cigars in a year and a half. I consider myself a newbie
I'm new to the hobby. The toro seems to be about the right size for me as well. Not opposed to a robusto - but if I have the option, I like a little more time to relax.

Great Video, I been smoking Robusto for a bit, im ready to change size. can you guys do a video of your favorite sizes in brands
Great video my two main sizes are Toro and pyramid
I have been smoking for about 20 years, and I find that Robusto fits my tastes the best because it is usually an hour + for me.
Hey, new to the cigar world. I love Churchills. My question is, when I put my cigars in my humidor, do I leave them in the plastic wrapper?
cheers guys for the video- can I please ask what lighter you used
Visol Piccolo Torch Lighter
Great info!
Time and weather is another consideration if you dont smoke inside. My go to is a toro, but living in the southern US, a robusto is good for that summer heat. Cigarillos for those extra hot days
And for the extra cold days 😂
I started out with a robusto and to this day, it's still my go to size.
Toro and robusto mainly. I try different ones from time to time. Alot of it does come down to how much time you have to enjoy it.
Buddy in the glasses needs to start a channel about clothes, He's always looking sharp.
Right? I was thinking the same thing. He dresses great.
Great information, thanks again!

Holts Cigars!! Mr Cigars Approves
I wouldn’t necessarily recommend mild. As long as it has flavor. I’d avoid a high nicotine. A good start is Rocky. His are nice happy medium.
A soft box pressed toro is perfect. Starting to like coronas a lot.
I just smoked an Oliva Serie G cigar. Great cigar.

Great suggestion with the corona. An under apprected size these days
Toro is my go to.
❤❤❤ means more than words will ever fail to say ❤❤❤
By which I mean your music....
I always recommend a Robusto size.
I think even shorter cigars like short robusto and petit cornas might also be good options cause as a newbie you might not be able to handle bigger size like Toro.
Have been gifted Swiss made Churchill brand cigars from 1974. Look ok still in cellophane with original box.any info much appreciated.
Question: what is the best way to deal with a cigar that doesn’t seem to draw well? Sometimes I encounter this, and it seems to burn too hot, but still not draw right.
I like the oliva v Melanio robusto for a beginner cigar

Was wondering can u do a video on Acid cigars by Drew Estate and La Gloria series R
What would be better for newbie short coronas 4 x 38 or short rebusto 3.5 x50 girth or length? or just stay away from shorts all together

No no, I mean the ones that look like an egg, you know, like the ones in the Tom and Jerry cartoons 😅
I always wondered what if I’m coming from other tobacco products and I know what flavor profiles I like and size how do I find those cigars ?
Go to a cigar shop and talk to a tobacconist 😉
I always have like Toro and Gordo. I have smoked around 50 cigars in a year and a half. I consider myself a newbie.
Nothing wrong with that. Stay tuned and you'll be an expert before you know it 😉
My first premium cigar was Arturo Fuente Hemingway short story!!
How do you save a half lite cigar for tomorrow? Thank you gentlemen
Check out our video "Should You Save a Half Smoked Cigar?"
At work I smoke Robusto and at home, with time on my hands, I go with a Toro up to a Churchill.
I tend to run out of time when I smoke a cigar. Is there a general guideline on how much time should be allocated to the various sizes? Thank you!
It depends on your smoking pace, your environment, and how humidified the cigar is. Generally speaking a Robusto can last you about 45 minutes, and a Churchill about an hour +.
Thank you for the prompt response. Keep up the good work. Love your channel. God bless!
My favorite has been h upmann 1844

Boneshaker cigars review plz
As a European cigar smoker these all seem too big for me. I tend to chill with a 26 - 30 ring gauge and about 4 inchs long, though I had read that they hadn't catch on ever in the states. Great for sampling.
Ever see the movie tombstone?
Do Holts ship to UK?
Definitely a robusto and toro
A shigar shtore you shay? Sean Connery enters the chat 1:10.

Newbie! Robusto

To me size equals time. Under two hour smoke? I go with a robusto. More than that,you can't beat a Churchill !!
Except a lot of stores sell the same blend for the same price regardless of the size. Hard to pay the same money for a cigar half the size. It's Churchill or nothing for me baby!
Best Beginners Cigar is machine-made Villiger Sumatra No.1, start with something cheap easy to smoke with no accessories needed other than Bic lighter.
Gentlemen, Nothing irritates me more ( and I choose happiness everyday !) than a friend who thinks they can be a cigar smoker and you offer them a high quality , brand name mild stick even in robusto size ( 8-15 bucks today ) and they light it several times and leave four of the five inches in the ashtray ! This just happened to me a week ago and the same guy did the same thing a few years ago. I should have learned my lesson. My go to is a toro but I try multiple sizes and my only gripe with a corona is if it is really good I am sad to see it end ! slainte, JZ
Good afternoon Gentlemen 🔥
