@@SethsPool Thanks. Been here a good while just not much of a commenter. Best cigar videos on YT period. Love the humidor walkthroughs, looking forward to seeing the cedar lined walls and big aisle coming soon. Keep up the great work with your humidor and these superb videos!
I really appreciate you for saying that. Don’t ever feel pressure to comment or engage. I make this content because I enjoy it and I want others to enjoy it as well. As long as you’re doing that then I’m happy. Thanks for your support, it means a lot. Happy smoking!
Extra anejo is one of my favorites. Just hard to come buy see them maybe once a year 2024 pledge wasn’t great but with age I think they will be just seen a bunch of the 2023 release at my shop this week oddly
Añejos are incredible, but yes you’re correct they are hard to find. Only released once a year around the holidays so they go quick. EP typically puts out phenomenal blends. Some are better than others, but almost all of them get better with age. Won’t hurt to hang onto that for a bit.
You have probably set me to just starting my own collection like this. This is not just a box of cigars, this is like something you could even have as a heirloom nahmeen!!
Haha I appreciate the kind words. This is a satisfactory collection I’ve been curating for specific friends and family members for quite some time. You should definitely pursue a collection on your own and build it how you want. You won’t regret it. 👍🏼
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯Awesome Humidor!!!! I can't wait to get my hands on all these Opus X. Only tried the one. Was a great Experience!!!! My favorite so far!! One more left in my humidor!
Wow man, absolutely stunning selection - I just have to look at a Liga and I'm salivating!🤤 Looking at all those Fuente cigars just drives it home how little choice of them we have in the UK.. some companies won't even sell them online - in store only.I've recently scored some Meerapfel and El Septimo which are "resting up" til Christmas (if I can last) Once again, fantastic watching Seth and thanks for the nosey through your collection... I'm moving in😂 Here's dreaming of Fuentes🛌🏼✌️💨
Paulie! Thank you so much for the comment! If you are able to track down all these other smokes like meerapfel I’m sure you can find some ligas! Might take some time but I’m sure it’s doable. Crazy heavy cigars though so I hope that’s what you’re looking for 🫡 If you’re ever out this way you are more than welcome to rummage through this humidor 😎
@@SethsPool I can get T52's and #9 Liga's in several vitolas, no problem and recently the European Selección Mercado, but I'd really love to have a go at some of those heavier ones you have (just to see, lol) because, as you said after a late dinner and a #9 Toro I'm ready for a nice sleep - so relaxing😄🙏
I’m new to this hobby….I haven’t ventured too far from Oliva V and perdomo Champaign…. Enjoy them but would like to try some Fuente soon and some Liga.
Hey that’s okay. Both of those are great smokes and are enjoyed by thousands of people for good reason. I would suggest trying some Dominican products for sure. The Fuentes put out some phenomenal options.
Very much agree with you on new world cigars. I envy some of the rare Opus you have there and love Dunbarton, I will have to try the Drew Estate you have, you convinced me to give them a shot. My all-time favorite cigar though, I am talking from the late 90s made by Kiki Berger and not the reboot, I smoked my last years ago, the Cupido.
There are lots of amazing smokes out there nowadays, I do my best to preach to people the importance of keeping an open mind given the current market we are in. I unfortunately have not tried the cigar you claim is your favorite. There are many smokes on my list though I’ll add it to it! Thanks for the comment sir, happy smoking!
Haha! I have those humidors as well believe me. That’s why I tried to keep some really good smokes in this one. I don’t want people to have the urge to snoop through my private collection 😂
Got some cigars here ..not jealous one bit .. I've been lucky to smoke 3 opus x... fantastic...still think Andalusian bull takes some beating myself...love the AJ Fernandez too plus odd partagas...happy smoking from the uk.... fantastic video once again...
@@SethsPool got one from a cigar shop..the rep left them by mistake lol...I paid 80 pound for 3 and that was a few years ago ..keep up the good videos buddy ..
I would have the Uncle (or friend) that's not a cigar smoker, that's grabs a Davidoff Royal, and 10 min later it's in an ashtray, with only 1/3 smoked. Cheroots, for all non real cigar smokers !! I love a good Andalusian bull, But have too agree that "Cigar of the year" may be a little to much. That being said.....the E.P.C. pledge is NOT a 98 rating cigar. IMO. LaNox, Just bought a box of these 3 weeks ago in Chicago. But from what my local B&M owner has told me, about what LFD is doing to older orders.... is not cool. As as he was telling me that, he received a new shipment of cigars, which contained five brand new boxes of Andalusian Bulls. So they are out there in the world. And LFD cigars that were stamped from 2008 on the box. Disclaimer.....I wish I had a box of Davidoff Royals, Let alone just one cigar.
The carefully selected tobaccos used for opus are aged for years. You can smoke one the same day if you want. Only opus I’m aging now are very hard to find ones and I’m not going past 5 years on them.
CA tax is a bit higher than WI tax. However when it comes to limited production smokes like the encore black you’ll find that smoke rarely under $20. We sell them for $19.90 in our shop and that tends to be average.
Man I had a lot of cigar RUclipsrs but honestly speaking I’m addicted to your videos and the problem is you have to make make video every day I don’t care what you will bring into it but I think you should figure out I’m moving to USA soon maybe the end of this year or at the beginning of the next year and I’m going to give you a visit and I’m going to buy a lot of stuff there so remember me unless I’m quitting smoking 😅
i like your content and don‘t want to be disrespectful, but it looks like there is some mold on the head of the ramon allones superiores(the first cigar that you took from the humidor).
Not disrespectful at all. I rotate the cigars in this humidor regularly and always inspect each one. I have a fine brush that I use the brush plume or spores off before it actually begins to damage the cigar. It’s a natural part of storing cigars and as long as a careful eye is kept on the sticks and they are brushed off when necessary then there will never be an issue. Thanks for the comment, happy smoking!
Great collection. Where in cali is your shop located? I'll stop by if I'm in that area. Just curious...would you happen to know of any trusted websites that sell habanos cigars?
Palm Springs. Careful ordering online. Almost all are fakes. I haven’t found a reputable site that wasn’t an Asian one. Even then you’ll have to convert currency and it’s a huge pain. Better off going to a reputable duty free store.
The overall Cuban market has been needing some improvement for a couple years now. I’m sure they will get it figured out, but it sure is disappointing.
Sales are higher than they’ve ever been. Prices have gone up in response to the popularity. We don’t put opus on our website because they are gone as soon as they come in. More demand than ever even though the price has tripled from what they originally were. Mostly everything has gone up drastically in price over the years, these are no exception. Also life is too short to smoke cheap cigars. Even if the cigars were $100 each they would still fly off the shelf because people’s happiness is worth more than what they cost.
I just got back from Cuba, and I gotta disagree. I think their cigars are really great for what they are good for. But there’s also really great new world cigars too
Cubans are really really good for those whose palate it suits like myself. Except for Davidoff, the non-cubans i have tried either lacked complexity, were either too weak or too strong and did not have the Cuban floral hay note that people who love Cubans find so addicting. I sincerely wish I liked non-cubans more as they are more readily available and more reasonably priced but there is a reason why people are willing to pay the premium for Cuban’s and I can assure you it is not for bragging rights or lack of experience and exposure. It is because we absolutely adore it. It is not dissimilar to why people love either Scotch or Bourbon. They can have both but strongly prefers one more than the other.
@@SethsPool any cigar recommends premium cigars obviously that have a sweet taste to them I’m noting that with some of the Arturo Fuentes like I have a Don Carlos that has a sweetness to it thanks in advance.
@@RM-uf1rh Don Carlos is an incredible smoke. I would suggest trying a variety of Connecticut wrapped cigars. A lot of Connecticut wrappers have notes of sweetness to them so maybe start there and see what you think.

I've only smoked one cigar and it was an Alturo Fuente Gran Reserva. It was pretty solid!
That’s okay, the fuente family puts out some phenomenal products. Can never go wrong.

The carefully selected tobaccos used for opus are aged for years. You can smoke one the same day if you want. Only opus I’m aging now are very hard to find ones and I’m not going past 5 years on them.
What's the tobacco tax like in Cali? Like that Encore black would cost me about $22 with taxes and what not in Wisconsin

Cuban cigars are so overrated and overpriced
The overall Cuban market has been needing some improvement for a couple years now. I’m sure they will get it figured out, but it sure is disappointing.
Well the Opus X are pretty damn expensive. A lot of people don’t buy them as often as they used to.
Sales are higher than they’ve ever been. Prices have gone up in response to the popularity. We don’t put opus on our website because they are gone as soon as they come in. More demand than ever even though the price has tripled from what they originally were. Mostly everything has gone up drastically in price over the years, these are no exception.
