My MEGA HOME AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM is finally complete!! | Kirby Allison

- This moment is literally a dream come true for me - I can finally smoke inside, at home. I am a firm believer that the only civilized place to smoke is inside. Here in Texas, it is either too hot, too cold, or there are mosquitos. Nothing rivals the elegance of smoking in the comfort of one’s home. However, due to the obvious effects of cigar smoke, this is a rare privilege enjoyed by very few.
And to make matters even more complex, I did not have the room to build a dedicated “smoking room” that could isolate the cigar smoke from the rest of the house. This presented a very difficult design challenge. Not only did I need to filter the smoke, but I needed to develop a system with enough power to control the smoke from immediately spreading throughout the rest of the house.
To overcome these challenges and realize my dream of being able to smoke inside in the comfort of my own home, I collaborated extensively CamFil, the global leader in complex industrial filtration systems. And, in today’s video, I review the completed system and prepare it to be put to the test: smoking a cigar inside.
This is quite possibly the most advanced air filtration system to ever be installed in a residential home. Yes, I’m crazy; but, you all know that already. So, get ready to see this incredible system and watch me put it to the test!

I look forward to Edward and Eddie surveying the new space! Congrats to you Kirby, it is indeed a "happy place"
When the Sahakian family visits the cigar lounge will truly be inaugurated.
Be truly majestic if the sahakians visit Kirby in his smoke room and all seductively smoke each other's cigars
my mans is in an attic with suspenders on. lolll. never change kirb!
It is his trademark
Mows the lawn with a three piece too baby!
I strive to be like him ❤
High waisted pants with suspenders are superior workwear. Look at overalls, they're basically that with a little extra
Mr. Allison, I can see your excitement and it jumps over to me. So great to see this, giving us a tour of your house and finally the cigar and the smoke. Simply great. I can't wait to see Edward and Eddy joining you in this fabulous environment.
One day!
I am very happy for you Mr. Allison! Now you can smoke inside without any problems!
It is a dream come true!
I remember finding the Hanger Project as a youth.. Now as a car collector and a 4-Toro-a-day smoker, love to see this system you installed.
Beautiful air filtration system Kirby, I’ve been in the filtration industry almost 20 years now and I get just as excited as you my guy! Congrats! 🤘
Wow Kirby you really threw in the kitchen sink and everything else with it. Great job, nice tour of your house can't wait to see your walk-in humidor.
Kirby -- you are truly The Man. Who else would play such cheerful music in a video about ductwork!
Beautiful house/home Kirby. Congratulations!
Love the drawings on the doors. Brings back memory's. Wait till the children are bigger... the TV's, they each want a "channel" of their own. ...
by they way my wife would kill me when I'm "home improving" in my best clothes.
And congratulations for the nomination!
I gotta hand it to you Kirby; you are not afraid to tackle anything. Great show! God Bless you
I can't say it enough but please keep doing what you and your team are doing. This type of content is purely exceptional no matter what people may say.
Side note: I hope you are given the communications award that you were nominated for! You deserve it.
Very kind! Lovely to have you here with us!’
Kirby the only chairs suitable for smoking cigars on are leather Chesterfields.
Thats the proper way! Really classy!
Absolutely correct!
Congratulations Kirby you earned it! Wish you many happy hours with your family in your new home and especially with your over-the-top filtration system, let's hope it works and gives you and importantly your wife ease of mind/nose so that you can enjoy your cigars with company in a civilized indoor environment!
Thank you!
Beautiful home, man. Congratulations
Kirby, what a fantastic video again, providing a true glimpse into the life of a gentleman. Congratulations on the new home and wishing you many years of future happiness. I look forward to seeing this marvelous system in action and hopefully, in good company with the Sahakians.
🙏🙏
I've never seen someone geek out over HVAC this much in a video. But congratulations Kirby.
Congratulations Kirby! Another dream fulfilled. Can't wait for the first smoking video in the new space, perhaps with the Sahakians. Cheers!
Kirby, what a fabulous home! Congrats to you, sir!
you are just truly a legend !! I love to see the look on your face opening the filters !!
Aren’t they amazing!
Happy for you Kirby! All the Best! Enjoy some wonderful Havana cigars!
Beautiful home🏡Congratulations
Kirby! This is brilliant. Congratulations are in order!
Congratulations Mr Allison! This is such a beautiful living space! Pay attention to your extractor hood above the kitchen oven - it may interfere with your air flow against cigar smoke... as well as gas heaters! (Extremely Dangerous!!!) Good luck to you and your family in this extraordinary house!
Yes. Air exhaust can cause more problems than they solve.
Congratulations!
Kirby, congratulations on your new home. Thanks for showing the smoke filter system.
Congratulations Kirby your home is beautiful, happy smoking
Congratulations Kirby!!
Some nice leather Chesterfield wingback Armchairs would suit that smoking room.
Fantastic Kirby beautiful house and set up.
Great design and ingenuity! Definitely a labor of love ❤️ Congratulations!🎈🎉🍾🎊
What a man! Love it!
This was an awesome watch
Lol when Kirby goes in the attic he still wears a suit
Really wonderful job on the house.
Well done for all your efforts. I was surprised the company didn’t come out to do a final setup, install and check it was AOK. It did make me laugh thinking how much you must have spent on all that equipment and then seeing you using some dollar saw to cut up the white plastic pipe. Let’s hope the boss ( Mrs A ) is pleased with it. Otherwise it’s out in the backyard for a smoking adventure with Eddie and Edward when they make a visit.
I tell her that we’ll have the cleanest indoor air in dallas… the only condition is being able to smoke. Haha.
This is so cool! Congrats on the beautiful home. I always only smoke indoors as well and all I use a Rabbit Air 😅 i figured eventually I'll need to repaint the room to get the smell fully cleaned out. I would love to have a better air filtration system...but all good. Cheers Kirby
Kirby that is one serious unit but more so, your new place looks amazing. Very classy and sophisticated color palette and furnishings. Well done 👍
Thank you! Still have some work to do… but getting close!
I'll look forward to the updates! Love every one of the videos and haven't missed one yet @kirbyallison
Wow, house & decor is pure class Kirby.
Love your place by the way!
Wow, I thought I was an air quality nerd and ahead of the curve with my 4-inch MERV 12s and HEPA portables in each room. I'm humbled after seeing this - you sir are are on another planet when it comes to optimizing air quality. Hats off to you!
…and I’m still obsessing!
Thanks Kirby, like all good heroes, you do these things so we don't have to 😅. Lovely looking house!
King Kirby
Congratulations on the new house!
When is the walking humidor video coming?
Should be out already! If not
Already, soon!
You have a beautiful home
You are indeed completely, truly and utterly insane, I whole heartedly approve.
Time for Eddie and Edward to visit and enjoy a Davidoff together.
That's the Terry Haste jacket. Looking good.
Camfil rep in Ohio - this is one hell of a residential application! Well done Kirby!
Glad you like it!!
Anything for content! 👏👏
A bit of sweat equity, I like it.
Kirby, excellent video. Very interesting topic. I really enjoyed the subtle humor mixed in the sharing of your HVAC adventure. I suggest a slightly more comfortable outfit while working in the attic. Possibly jeans, polo shirt and deck shoes would reduce the wear & tear of your nice suit. That said, I liked your extreme dedication to formal attire in any case.
You asked your viewers if we are in interested in seeing a whole house tour once all your new furnishings are in? Yes, please.
You also asked what furniture would we recommend for your new sitting/smoking room? I would suggest a traditional leather couch and two matching leather chairs. The leather would hold up better with the kids and absorb less smoke than the typical fabric upholstery. Keep the videos coming. Thanks Eric
Great suggestions! And will definitely do a full house tour once we’re finished
I love that Kirby fully commits to the suit thing...if I'm working in the attic it's running shorts and a T-shirt...my man up there in a pair of trousers and dress shoes that probably cost a months salary for me LOL!
You are insane! Up in your attic in your bespoke clothes! lol. I wish I grew up with you. You’re so fun to watch.
You are crazy Kirby ... I work for CAMFIL and I sell these types of products to industrial customers.
We can all feel that this smoke filtration system has been a struggle for you, but your dedication and perseverance have been truly inspiring ;)
You guys make the best stuff! Why not use it residentially?? 😅
The dedication to indoor cigar smoking is obscenely commendable.
It is obscene. I agree. But utterly fantastic.
Cool house
Is Kirby trying to suggest, to paraphrase Ric Flair, his suits and his shoes cost more than his old house? 😂
The only HVAC guy to go to work in a bespoke suit and braces!
Wow a lot of one step forward and two back. I’m suprised this wasn’t planned better but ah well that’s construction 😅. I really hope for your sake it actually works as intended.
Interested in the “home” version of the camfil. These guys seem to know how to clean air 🍻
Will you be filming from your new smoking room?
I hope so! But from what I understand, watching all of his vids when it comes to cigars/smoking, he has planned to invite the Sahakian's or Eddie, and have a proper smoke in his proper smoking room. I am sure they will be filming that, I mean it would seem the right thing to do, in my humble opinion at least ^^
Honestly, jury is out on this one
Mr. Allison, your crazy. Thank God for that. Keep pursuing the world of Quality, Craftsmanship and Tradition. 👏👏👏
impressive fully insulated attic with spray foam
I think some Chesterfield furniture would look fantastic there! I'm currently I'm the market as well. Stay blessed!
I'm in the same boat, and have been looking at Roger + Chris for some leather club chairs. I think the Harley would be a good fit for Kirby's house / aesthetic, as it is a blend between the traditional and modern looks.
i was looking for your sychronika when you panned to the kitchen. i just got mine and i am in love. i am a big fan of mcm so i would normally recommend eames, corbu, and mies furniture. guessing its not your vibe 🙃
What do we have here? Other than glorious beauty 😂 great video Kirby.
Hi Kirby. Long time watcher, first time posting. Looks like you have it figured out. Congrats. It looked like you had a dm humidor setting in the one room. I’m waiting on a custom humidor from dm. Should be here by Monday. Good luck with the project…
Thanks for the comment!!
@@kirbyallison hey Kirby I’ve seen conflicting info about seasoning a dm humidor. I’m seeing if I should or shouldn’t lemme know what you would do. As I’ve never heard not to season a humidor. Thanks
Gotta love just cutting the bathroom vent to make it work :D. At least that's an easy fix.
Brown or Green Leather Chesterfield Chairs, way to go! 😃
Just discovered your channel in recommendations. I deal with air quality, humidity, temp systems, etc. in ops at the world's largest archive of computer artifacts in the U.S. as a small part of my job and have never heard of this. We use a combo solution from Japan and Austria. This is an interesting home-use scenario.
What kind of units do you use? Who manufactures them? Sounds interesting!!
Kirby, I have you to blame for my recent purchase of an Omega Speedmaster chronoscope. I needed an appropriate watch for my planned bespoke Jean Rousseau watchband 😎
Would love to see the Sahakians in a video now it’s all finished
Hi Kirby, I would look at Fleming & Howland for furniture. Very elegant and well crafted pieces. Not sure if anything is in your style, but worth a look.
Great suggestion! Just checked it out. Beautiful stuff!!
I love a big brown leather couch or armchairs for the smoking room, maybe take a look at Jeremy Siers smoking room, that's a piece of inspiration!
4:31 “How it’s sposta work!”
Yep, definitely a red-blooded Texan. 😂👌
Yep, our man here might be a bit more sophisticated than the average cowboy but he's still thoroughly a southern gentleman.
I'm sure that you spent a pretty penny on this system. I'm surprised that a HVAC tech didn't come out to install those filters.
I can imagine that he got it as part of an advertising partnership, or at least at a heavy discount. He has already dedicated a couple of videos just to showcase the company and its product, I think he deserves a free product as a thank you. But I don't know, most Companys aren't known for charitable work, so I can only hope they did something to reimburse him for his part.
No advertising partnership on this one, unfortunately. But they are kind to entertain me… this is far beneath their standard applications
Great system, I have a carbon filter for my allergies. But doesn´t the efficiency of the filters decrease as the volume of air increases?
Yes. Which is why this thing is MASSIVE.
Kirby, that is a very impressive setup you have there, great work. I would suggest one thing, I am not familiar with the ionic air cleaner you are using, but I would advise against using ionized air anywhere in your home. They create free radical molecules, which are said by some to be dangerous to your health; just a thought.
I look forward to seeing how this system works in practice now that it is all set up and ready to go!
I was told that this didn’t create ozone… but I’m going to call the manufacturer to better understand how it works. HVAC guys that sold it to me didn’t convince me they truly understood how it works.
@@kirbyallison it would be good know to know for sure, just for peace of mind, especially because it could effect your family. Hopefully one day we'll see you and the Sahakians putting your new system to the test!
I just run it through the HVAC with filters on the intakes and a couple of air purifiers in the other rooms. Luckily my wife doesn’t complain about the smoke.
I would have enclosed the patio and added a separate heating/cooling system out there. But, this is still really interesting and has applications beyond just smoking. A system like this would potentially be useful for welding, soldering, woodworking, painting or many other things inside your house.
Hahahaha.
Kirby, I can't stop laughing, cutting that vent pipe like a boss. LOL LOL We must be related. That's exactly how I would do it, get rid of this fing thing that's in my way.
If the doctors need an emergency operating room your house could be a stand in
congratulations, drinking some after dinner Davidoff coffee while watching this!
After dinner Davidoff "coffee" whaaat?!
@@Kenny-yl9pc Davidoff licensed instant coffee :)
Oh interesting didn't know such things existed under the Davidoff umbrella, I thought they are full in on cigars. Is it good?@@jrunundeniable
All that amazing effort and the final filter you put in was not the right size? 🤣Honestly a really great video and setup. Thanks for sharing
That was just to catch carbon particles that exhaust when you first turn on the filter.
@@kirbyallison understood, and you did mention that in your excellent video, I just thought it was humorous. Enjoy the great 💨
Kirby you should try out a mustache. I bet you would make it more refined than ever.
Putting Lou on blast!
Lou… can’t stand him. Absolutely hated having to build a house with that guy. Unfortunately, he was the only one with lots in the neighborhood we wanted to buy in.
@@kirbyallison house looks nice regardless, jealous of the indoor smoking room! What an elegant indulgence
that's a lot of chairs!
Goodness that all looks.....expensive. But very nice!
Great vid Kirby. What's the pupper's name?🤔🐕
Kirby, do you own any work cloths? lol. Nice system.
He use only suits.. than throw it to thrash and buy new ones.. he actually have barcodes still sticked to his boots if you look closely in this video
These are my work clothes… 😅😂
Yes. I have other stuff. Just didn’t want to disappoint anyone by ruining the mystique.
The only appropriate seating for your happy place is a set of dark leather wingback chairs. You can even get a recliner version.
Nice house. Envy the air filtration. But that's one beautiful Scottie! Name?
Duke!
@@kirbyallisonDuke's a handsome lad. We've had five: Maggie, Hugo, Rosie, Lady and now Ivy. Ivy is 2 and she's a little pistol. Scotties are the best. And Labradors. Can't forget the Labradors.
Kirby is going to be an HVAC tech in his next life hahaha
I could probably do it better than most of the guys out there…
The chairs you and Mr Cundey were sat in on suit to shoot episode 13 would go nicely in there. However, living in the English countryside im a sucker for a wing back blood red leather armchair.
"As they say in London, Bob's your Uncle!" Love the review. Definitely a different vid but as an engineer I love the attention to the specs. I love the details. I love the sawing the pipe! As a person living in a situation where I can only enjoy a cigar outside when the spouse is away, in Canada, I really envy this setup.
Hope this works!
Why not put curtains on the entryways to keep stray odors from leaving and then tie them open when done?
Did you consider pocket doors to enclose the space temporarily?
Yes. But didn’t want it closed off
What happened to the walk in humidor?
It’s at the office.
Maybe I missed it, but why the expensive filtration system? Why not just direct it outside?
Texas weather is extreme in both directions. Just dumping it outside would massively increase his heating and cooling costs and reduce comfort in the rest of the house.
Is it big enough for all your smokes?
Big enough for me!
@@kirbyallison just making sure.
