“I gotta guess so let me do what I want to do!” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 “You don’t have to get cocky about it!” You guys are great! Hit me with a Father’s Day gift! Already have 2 of the Montecristo 1935’s in my cart!
Padron 50th natural
“Don’t be mad, don’t be sore”! 😂😂 You tried to f&@k me! Two Italians going at it! 🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼
😅
You guys are cooking with this content lately 🔥
The fact you guys are great friends and not just colleagues really brings something special to your videos. Your videos are very educating and cigar-craving inducing! but also make me laugh!!
Being new to the cigar scene, you guys crack me up. Keep up the fun and educational content
👊💯
Best cigar content on RUclips. Without question.
The informal conversation, rapport, and joking around with each other is what makes these videos fun to watch. Great vid!
I applaud both of you. You guys have great knowledge of cigars and the entire industry. I always enjoy the Holt podcasts.
Cool format!! More of that :D
Loving the recent shows! Keep ‘em coming. 🚬
Awesome video - just love these casual/fun/hangout videos. Keep it up!
Love them both, can't go wrong
Love the videos with both you guys together.
Enjoyed watching this look forward to more videos 🤙🏼
Pls do more of this format❤
Another great video. And these guys look sharp as always!
This is a great idea and I want to do this with my buds now
Great new game, thank you guys for the education on cigars
Have both in my humidor, planning to have the San Cristobal when I get off work
Man I would love to see you guys start a weekly show with general cigar content and may throw in some stuff like this.
We post multiple videos every week!! Hit the subscribe button to stay up to date
Awesome challenge. Not sure what the outcome would be if I was in the hot seat. this challenge will be a great activity for my cigar club members. Thanks for the content!!!!
Do more of these!!
Another great video making another great series out of nowhere. Always read for another upload.
Like this game. Look forward to more.
Great video, that was a fun one! Throwing out a cigar request, I’d love to see how you guys like the AF Casa Cuba.
You guys are Living Legends...
Fantastic 😂😂😂💯👍
About to go buy both now!!!
Great video!! I too enjoy both of those cigars!! Thanks for sharing..........Jose from Texas
Interesting game ❤
I love the game! Thanks for another great video!
Wow, this is an incredible series and a really fun game! I'm relatively new in the cigar world and I feel like this would be really tough for pros like you guys and impossible for a newbie like me, but I love learning about how the different blends, wrappers, and everything seem to affect taste and perception. Can't wait for the next one!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done.
Very good game guys!!!
We demand more videos on the golf course!
Us too 😅
Love the easy draw and good smoke on the LADC. Construction is always nice and it is very affordable!
The Elegencia is my personal favorite cigar of all time, but the LADC is damn near perfect
Love the dynamic between you guys. I'd absolutely love to have a smoke with you two. Keep the great content coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Good Evening 😊 Awesome Video👌🏽 I like this challenge 👏🏼 You Guys are amazing blokes 🤗 Thanks & Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
You guys are great...awesome show.my favorite still is Sutter cigars from london....its all about the story.thanks guys
Hey Fauch, The only thing that matters the most in life is that you get your Mother's gravy on spaghetti day correct, with the neighbors from down the street. Nothing else matters.
Great video and a great ideal for the show.
Thank you this video. I went and bought both them the other day because if this video. The LADC was extraordinary. I will let you know this evening how much I enjoy the San Cristobal Elegancia. Thanks for two excellent suggestions.
The Elegancia can develop a sourness sometimes that I don’t get from the La Aroma. However, I rarely do blind tastings or side by side comparisons.
Just smoked the La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut for the first time two days ago and was surprised by the spicy note to it, albeit not in any way shape or form a strong spicy note. Great cigar and very smooth tasting. Next on the list will the San Cristobal Elegancia which I also happen to have in my humidor and have never smoked.
You're smoking a San Cristobal Elegancia...sounds like a win to me. Now I'll have to find a LADC Connecticut.
We need more videos with Mazz and Faccia, different games and more guess the Cigar too. Not enough content!
More to come!
Great channel, awesome for cigar beginners like myself
Welcome aboard!
love it
---12:35: 'You're bein' a sore loser." 🤣😂 Great new game!! 👍 Please make more!! 👍 You guys ARE experts!!
👊🏽
As Iv said before I’m a Maduro fan and just love the flavor profiles from darker wrappers but the la aroma de Cuba 🇨🇺 nobleese and the mi amor are growing on me Iv always enjoyed the la aroma de Cuba with the Connecticut broad leaf wrap on the original.. its just a cigar that has been a go to in any variation they make
Thank you for this comparison, very informative, I have both of these and can’t wait to try them, new smoker here and appreciate you both!
Thank you Scott!
I don't know Mazz, something seems irregular here. Starting to become team Micali here. Next round, Make Mazz sweat. It's definitely game on 😂
Another great video.
Apart from Arturo Fuente, San Cristobal cigars really hit my wheel-well.
Both amazing cigars. Both in my daily rotation. I get nutty notes in both... Damn fach. I can't believe you gave up the streak for this game!!! 😂😂😂😂
😂 he fumbled
@@holtscigars big time lol. But in his defense it's a tough game!
2 of my fav cigars... i know as soon as he said spice on the light up it was LADC fist stick
👏👏👏
You need both of you to do this more often. Two cigar blind taste off!!!
Next… padron 1964 vs 1926
Love it!!
Great game 😊
I like the games you come up with
You 2 are the best
Much appreciated 🙏
Great video. I love watching you guys. I am one who loves the elegance that you bring to cigar smoking. I am all about being a gentleman. Had a question? How many go to cigars do you have? I am trying to get at least 7 and settle down from buying so many of the cigars I see on reviews. What are your thoughts?
My “go to cigars” change at times as I enjoy variety & go on kicks of certain blends. Always smoke a go to for a special occasion. No sense in rolling the dice in that scenario. Other than that just enjoy! Variety makes it fun!
This would be an extremely tough challenge. Glad I’m not doing it. At least he had two very good cigars.
Great job. Once you take out the wrapper of any cigar, it’s really hard to tell which one you would like the most out of any comparison. 😊😅
Enjoyed the vid as always! Would love to know your opinion on the Henry Clay Warhawk 650. It’s one of my favorite Conn shade cigars because it has a Conn broadleaf binder
I love these two cigars together with the AJ Fernandez New World Connecticut.
Love the ladc Connecticut..haven’t tried the other one yet. The perdoma lot 23 Connecticut is absolutely amazing..as is the new world darado from AJ Fernandez..too many too choose from
If you haven’t already, can you do a video on the different wrapper leafs and their impact on strength, flavour etc. I hear of Habano, Broadleaf etc and I have no idea 🤷♂️
The LADC Connecticut is the most peppery and spicy mild cigar I have ever had. Any idea on why that particular Connecticut has that strong tasting note?
The blend lends itself to have spice & natural sweetness. Ying & Yang
Damn now I want some conneticut shade lol
I definitely enjoyed it! Now m gonna have to try it myself! Except I’m smoking both all the way 🤣
As you should 😂
Let's gooooo 🎉 🥂
I had a pretty good feeling that the first cigar Faccia smoked was the LADC Connecticut. When he mentioned getting a lot of spice right away (and also basically implying that the second cigar was not as spicy), I thought that was a huge clue. That's the thing with Pepin; I feel like even his lighter sticks will pack a punch.
Lol well I feel a little silly because I forgot Pepin is also associated with San Cristobal. Still though, having smoked both sticks, the LADC Connecticut has definitely jumped out more to me than the SC Elegancia and with the way Faccia described both, I was confident in what cigars he was smoking.
Y’all got the freshest suits in the cigar world….
👊🙏
You guys should do This or That : Puro edition. Smoke 2 different puros and try to guess the country.
Great Video. He was wrong but still won by smoking both unbelievable cigars.
I think you f$#& with him by choosing connecticut shade grown cigars knowing he doesn't smoke them 😂
😂
So if it’s over humidified do I let it sit out for a couple days?
You guys are lucky, cigars here in Britain are way way more expensive.
Id like to know which he liked better
I think it’s a disservice to limit these cigars to morning coffee. You will sell more if you can find a good alcoholic pairing to go with them IMO.
We’ve done spirits pairings with them as well. We are saying the blends are versatile.
Hi Anthony! Could you please explain to me, is La Aroma De Cuba Connecticut El Jefe just a Connecticut cigar in El Jefe size, or are these two different cigars?
I smoked LADC El Jefe Connecticut recently, and it was so damn good that I went and got a whole box immediately.
There’s a shade wrapper variety which is used here & there is a Maduro variation which uses a Connecticut Broad Leaf wrapper. Same size but 2 different blends. Hope this helps
@anthonymazzola4470 Thank you for your answer. If I understand correctly El Hefe Connecticut is not just a different size, it's also a different blend than regular Connecticut.
@@dybcar all the Ecuadorian shade variety of LADC uses Connecticut seed. Regardless of size. All the Maduro sizes of LADC uses Connecticut Broadleaf actually grown in Connecticut. El Jefe is just a size in both blends
Mazz, What are your thoughts on Tobacconist University? I'm considering thier CCST for fun.
Educating yourself is never a bad idea
@@anthonymazzola4470 Thank you for replying. I agree. I'm just trying to do my due diligence.
T. U. says there are the educational provider for the PCA. Can you confirm that?
Best Regards.
@@charliefoxtrot7219 they are
Ladc is a great Connecticut but my favorite is the montecristo white series preferably the Churchill absolutely great cigar especially in the morning
Definitely 🔥
I think the best way to win is to buy a box of each.
😂 fool proof strategy
Anthony love these videos. Would love to chat Anthony, whenever I call Holt's can't get a hold of you 😢
Busy talking to people in person. I’m not a phone guy. Hit me up here if you’d like. I do my best to answer
@@anthonymazzola4470 you the best sir!
@@anthonymazzola4470 going into US from Canada, would you recommend shipping from Holt's online to a PO box or to the hotel directly?
@@mikek2876 I’d say to the hotel directly
After smoking a cigar does the back your throat start to burn or is that the spice from the cigar? I’m new to cigars so I’m curious
What lighters are you gentlemen using?
For this video we used a Visol Piccolo Torch Lighter
What size are these two cigars?
Hey Anth curious why do you call Anthony Faccch ?
It's short for Faccia which means "face" in Italian
Lol
Call it what you will.
👉if you guys open a store in Allentown pennsylvania you will not regret it👈 there are only a coupe of cigar store-humidors not counting cigar international (2 stores) we would love to have a Holts cigar store-humidor in the lehigh valley
Video time...(5:41) Anthony always have the time to answer peoples comments, how he does it Indont know but he pay attention to our comments
😉
So I just got into smoking cigars. I bought the regular Ashton cigar, went home, cut it and lit it up. It burned evenly and everything, but I felt I wasn’t getting enough puff from dragging if that makes sense. I also had to cut it farther down than just the cap, because it was harder to get lit. Does this have anything to do with smoking it right after I bought it? Or something else?
It's possible the cigar was slightly over humidified from where you got it
@@holtscigarsSo if it’s over humidified do I let it sit out for a couple days?
Yes a day or two of dry boxing can certainly help!
Watch him Fauch ! He's was out to get you because of that longest ash competition L.O.L.
It was all on the up & up 😅
@@anthonymazzola4470 Mazz , keep these videos coming man . They make my day and I learn more about cigars every time 👍🏼
There must be something wrong with me, I smoked two Elegancia’s and I thought they were terrible. I don’t get it.
Taste is personal
😂😂😂
🤣
I love La Aroma connecticut but hate San Cristobal elegancia.
Interesting
@@anthonymazzola4470 although mild, elegancia tastes much darker.
That's exactly what one of our guys said before playing this game 😂
Men’s game….hahaha
This guessing game isnas good as building ash
Don't worry! Long Ash Pt. 3 is coming soon!!
