Nobody sells the Cigar lifestyle better than Sr. Mazz 🙌
Nobody!
Mazz 👓👌
The rizz is off the charts
You should do a tour of that room. I want to see that humidor in the background.
I love to hear everybody's love for cigars.. I'm new to the community and I'm learning from everyone here. I just want to say thank you the great Mazz and everyone that comments!!❤❤❤
Welcome, glad to have you here!
Thank you!! Glad to be here!!
Dominican is my favorite, Nicaragua is too peppery for me usually, but there are a few good ones.
Cuban and Dominican for me when it comes to taste but I also really love Nicaraguan as well. But I think overall Nicaraguan is number 1 when it comes to consistency, flavor , and construction
Damn, you're right....Nicaragua is definitely dominating my humidor. I've really loved La Aroma de Cuba Reserva, My Father Opulencia, Perdomo Maduro 10th, the Flathead 660, Padron 1926 Maduro.... But I do have an Ashton Aged Maduro waiting to be smoked. And lots of Punch cigars with mixed country blends. I would love to try more Dominicans.
I love that cigars are such a wonderful thing to celebrate with at a gathering, yet almost everything about them is personal.
Well said 👊🏽
My personal pick is Nicaragua
Meee to!
Agree!
Cuban (Trinidad’s), Dominican (Arturo Fuentes’s), and Nic’s (NUBs) in that order. To each their own, enjoy your cigar of preference! Cheers! 🤙🏽
I agree with Dominican being top 3 easily, I just think LFD is the banner brand
It's my personal #1
Mazz you're the one that got me into cigars, and i couldn't thank you enough, 3 years in and now im smoking a nice Plasencia alma fuerte. God bless
My opinion Dominican, Mexico. 🤷♂️
I try to mix it up with all countries. Never had a Cuban. There are alot of great cigars out there. Just start taking your tour.
They all good to me different days different moods ,
I am a beginner in the slow smoking world, and thanks to Anthony, I discovered this fantastic realm. I am Italian, and by the end of next April, I hope to come to the United States for a vacation and take the opportunity to visit Holt's Cigar Company in Philadelphia to purchase some good cigars and perhaps even shake your hand.
We’d love to have you in!
Yamazaki, Now you have my attention !!
Thanks again Mazz! I’ve been neglecting some of my Nicaraguan blends that I’ve got for my beloved Dominican’s. I’ll fire up some tonight and explore
Ashton really present cigars like they're made of gold, and I really like it.
Habanos: Partagas Lusitanias
Dominican: Arturo Fuente
Great video as always. Enjoying a Punch rare corojo as I was watching. I jump around a lot and find ones I love from all three.
Love your videos thanks mazz big fan from Australia
I'll have to agree with Mazz on Dominican Cigars overall, but it's a matter of personal preference. Just like who grows the best coffee. As far as flavor, I haven't yet found a substitute for Cuban cigars. However, the quality of construction is not what it used to be and prices are crazy now.
Cubans and Nics are my fav.
Totally agree with you Anthony....
I have my go-to cigars but always try and throw something different in to mix.
Love Davidoff, Perdomo and RP...
But just ordered an AVO .
I've also tried excellent cigars from Indonesia and the Philippines....
It all broadens the palette... Like different whiskeys from different countries...
Great video... Thanks for taking the time... 👍💯
Smoking cigars is so relaxing! I have been on a journey in trying to develop my palate because I don't taste all the hints of flavors like cigar reviewers do! I am slowly getting better but trying to learn about the cigar industry can be overwhelming. So much to learn and so many cigars to smoke!
Excellent! You MUST retrohale cigar smoke to get the most out of its flavors, thickness and consistency.
Don't worry too much about flavors just yet. All that matters is that you enjoy your experience, and eventually the flavor notes will find you 😉
There’s so many good cigars coming out these days I can’t have a favorite. Each country has their own flavor and it all depends on how that flavor funks with you. Personally I’m Loving the D.R. Puros right now. Absolutely Delicious 🤤
Nicaraguan soil gives a unique flavor that suits me best. AJ Fernandez has brought quality to the area.I prefer it over Cubans because the quality has gone down since the 1990s.
We’re very lucky to have so many great cigar makers both New World and Cuban to choose from. Enjoy all of the them ❤️👌🏼
Well said! Smoke what you enjoy & always trust your taste
I just picked me up 2 R.P. ALR Second Editions on the way home from work. Enjoying it to this video 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽
Rocky Patel the Edge is what started my cigar journey.
For those who want to try an outstanding cigar with 7 different types of delicious tobacco; I recommend the Avo Ritmo. I agree with you completely on this one Mazz. Habanos are unique and exquisite but consistancy and quality have regressed big time. Not to mention the fact that they've completely priced themselves way out of proportion.
Mazz, great content, as always.
Wondering if you can do a review and give us a lil history lesson on cigars from the PR.
There isn't much content and I know the supply is limited out of the PR, but can you shed some light on production and lack there of, etc...
Thanks!
Anthony you should go one day to the event procigar in Santiago
I love them all. Nicaragua, Dominican, Cuban, Ecuador they are all amazing
I don't really comment on videos but I had to say that you are right about the country bias. I know an older smoker who said he doesn't like Honduran tobacco so I don't really try Honduran cigars but I have found several from Honduras that I want to try. I would also like to add that I have been looking into Cuban cigars and even though a lot of us in the USA put it up on a pedestal, I don't think it is the holy grail because if the tobacco. I think their blenders and their rollers are really really good, probably the best in the world. With that said, I have heard that most cigars from there should be aged. Grazie Antonio for all that you do! I hope all is well!
Prego my friend! Well said!
As a Dominican I’m a bit bias and always love Dominican cigar. However, I truly love and enjoy a Nicaraguan Perdomo!
We tend to default to these 4 countries Mazz mentioned but there other countries that make cigars out of premium tobacco, like Mexico, Spain , Italy or even The Philippines to name a few, check them! ;)
Eiroa and CLE are phenomenal Honduran cigars as well. Their Corojo is top tier
Nicaragua🇳🇮❤for sure!
Thank you sir for recommending me the Ashton classic. I’m a newbie so I highly appreciate that recommendation. I’m currently smoking an AJ Fernandez heritage and I wish you all a happy Sunday!!!
👊
Like asking who makes the best cars? Comes down to 3 countries; Germany, Japan and the US. Beyond that is preference. Cigars is Cuba, Nicaragua, and the DR.. Then it's all upto you.
Mexico
I’m gonna call this an unintentional trick question.
EP Carrillo rolls his cigars in the DR, but uses tobacco from Nicaragua, DR, Honduras, Ecuador and the US to name a few.
So my official answer is the USA! 🙂
Editing to add Mexico. Can’t leave-out those amazing wrappers…
Nica and… Connecticut
Fuente , Padron , My Father , La Aroma de Cuba , Oliva … Cubans , H Upmann , Partagas , Monte Cristo ……. I like something from everywhere
subscribers growing like crazy
I really don't have a personal favorite. Thanks to my wife, who keeps me stocked with cigars, she goes all over the spectrum. I have cigars from about every region. I will say, CAO is my favorite brand.
Cuba ❤
Dominican Republic and Nicaragua
For me I get all the flavors I love from Nicaragua. I do enjoy tobacco from other countries. But if I had to choose tobacco grown in one country for the rest of my life it would be Nicaragua for sure. If I had to choose one brand it would be Padron.
Love the way your store is setup with the way we can buy the mystery packs make a beginner mellow pack people will buy it just bought my 1st 150$ the choice's had me spending extra lol
Thank you for the support, hope you enjoy!
Good Evening 😊 Awesome Video👌🏽 My choice will be cigars out of Nicaragua 👍🏼 Have a great day and Happy smoking 🌬💨💨 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Glad that you didn't say Cuba was the best. Had a few in Buenos Aires and in my opinion they were fine, but the Cigars available here are amazing and we have great variety.
Nicaragua. Hands down.
Nicaragua!
Very fair commentary. ESG is one of my favorites. I like it better than Opus X even. Padron 1964/26 is my stranded on an island cigar.
Can't miss with those picks 🎯
the country that makes your favorite cigar!!
Great question, but it’s also a complex one. If we consider that most cigars are a combination of tobaccos grown in different countries, then it is further complicated. Cuba is the only country that consistently produces tobaccos grown only in Cuba. Ecuador produces 99 percent of the wrapper leaf used in the industry for New World cigars. The quality of tobaccos also changes from year to year, therefore effecting flavor and consistency. So in essence one must find a factory that has a massive amount of aged tobaccos with an army of rollers who are very experienced with that factory and their tobaccos. For me, there is 1 company with factories that stand apart due to their construction, burn performance, draw, and flavors and that is Padron. I’ve never had a bad one, and it always performs. That being said, my second favorite factory is Fuente without a doubt as they produce my desert island cigar, the Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario. I also believe that there is a shift in the industry that is making lots of noise with aged tobaccos and aging processes, and that is Tobaccos de Costa Rica. I firmly believe that they are producing the closest thing to a modern day Cuban for the domestic market and believe that they are the future of the industry.
Great 👏🏻
Personally I’m going with Nicaragua, but that’s a loaded question because there’s good ones everywhere and they’re all different. That Le Bijous is excellent. Also the My Judge is a great choice.
For anyone on the Cuban binge, yes they’re good, but they’re not the best. Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco is better because it’s so much more consistent. Everything we smoke is Cuban seed anyways. Cubans are overrated, and I buy Cubans 😂
I live here in DR and I think I’ve smoked at least one cigar of the big brands that grow tobacco here and to be honest I think I need to switch it up to something from Nicaragua or Honduras don’t know how hard those are to buy here.
Nicaragua
I would have to say for me it's Nicaragua and Honduras for Puros. With that said though. Some of my absolutely favorite cigars have a combination of Nicaraguan, Honduran and Dominican Leaf in some form. Apart they are really really good but together they are great for my Palate. 🤙
I love em all. I have a very diverse collection but Nicaraguan cigars is what started it all for me, my first cigar was a Cain. I feel like they have a very distinct peppery flavor.
Cuba
I’m a huge Nicaraguan fan. My Father, Don Peppin Garcia, Jaimie Garcia, Plasencia, Oliva, all of them are great cigars but I’ve noticed that my palette changes from time to time. I always enjoyed an Ashton but lately I feel myself being drawn into them more and more, especially the VSG. So basically, I bounce around. Lol
Nothin' wrong with that 🙌
Hard topic to handle, in my opinion, Padron , Olivia, that’s the sweet spot
why this man doesn't wear a watch ? His outfit is on the point. Very good style! this outfit needs a watch! =)
Padron is the only cigar i found that is quality, consistent rolled. perfect draw is very important to me.
Cuba 🇨🇺🇨🇦🇨🇺🇨🇦🇨🇺🇨🇦
Cuba may be better than Nicaragua, but cost too much I smoke 2 a day
nicaragua and DR
Mazz, would you mind doing a review of LA Fontana cigars? I believe they're from Honduras and I respect your opinion. Thanks!
I'm new to cigars and currently smoking at Don Lucas cigars from the Dominican. What's your take on them?
I'm sure this is a stupid question but why don't we produce cigar tobacco in this country? Many of the cigarette companies grow their tobacco in Kentucky and Tennessee. Just introduce the different plants to the region. I think it has more to do with the labor to make the cigars. What do you think?
Nicaragua is my favorite
I'm not a Rocky P fan it does nothing for me I'm more with the Oliva and Padron the Ashton ESG types
Don’t forget about the tobacco from ometepe!
Ometepe is in Nicaragua
Honesty , Respect and Grateful , that's the new word Cigar means to me . Myths , disrespect and over rated , that's for the Cuban Cigar .
Only Cohiba from Cuba!
👍🏽👍🏽
I love new world cigars.After a steady increase in badly made Monte Cristo's I've sadly had to cast them adrift.It's just not worth the investment here in Ireland 🤷🏼♂️
Hey Paulie. I have Holts Rocky Patel Mulligans mystery bag of 10 cigars on the way from the US! Interested to see how they’ll get through customs 🙄…we’re getting screwed in Ireland on handmade cigar prices! Hope they arrive in Cork in one piece!
@@Catch22Channel tell me about it mate.That sounds great, you can come back here and let me know how it went.I've had guys send me stuff from the States before, but because it has to come through the republic I get a double battering from import tax and then An Post dig their arm in as well!Not worth it in the end🤷🏼♂️ Cheers ✌️💨
i am an arturo fuente fanboy, so dominican is definitly my favorite
Don't know about Honduras...anything within 100 miles of Nicaragua, I know I'm safe
They are neighbors so you’re good. 👍🏽
How often do you dry clean your suits?
Nicaraguan tobacco > everything and I will die on that hill
Have not had Cuban. I would say Domincan is far more consistent than Nicaraguan. Have yet to have a bad Dominican but Nicaraguan with its many growing regions produces stuff all over the map. Nicaragua has some of the absolute best cigars but also the worst cigars. As for Honduran… Rocky Patel is my favorite brand as a whole. I smoke regulars from all 3 of the above countries and a few with Brazilian and Peruvian.
what is the song at the end?
I’ll smoke anything once. My personal choice is anything with a San Andres wrapper.
Nicaragua, easily
Like wine there are no best countries but where you’re taste aligns.
Cuba's construction has been so poor recently, I'm sending them back with splits and holes, they're unravelling when smoked, I'm having mold issues even at lower humidity which then spreads easily thanks to a lack of cellophane wrappers. They're just not worth it anymore
Unfortunately for consumers, there's a large consensus that Cuban cigars are suffering from construction issues
H. Upmann🤝🏻
From Australia so we can get Cubans..
I cant say ive had the big dog sticks that are stupidly overpriced but have had several cubans. I can say i go new world any day.
By all means do a turn and try but dont get spun out by cubans. It's all smoke (pun intended)
Same here in UK, can't justify paying the same for a Romeo y Julietta no.3 as a big toro Padron or Fuente
Dominican has been my favorite by far over the 2y ive been trying different cigars.
Ive not met with many sticks i particularly dislike, i just really love the Dominican stuff
I can't smoke Nicaragua such as perdomo. I get a knot in back of my throat.
Try Oliva, my father, and La aroma de Cuba, I prefer them much much more to perdomo
Cigaragua is the best by a mile, then DR followed by Cuba, can’t forget Honduras
BANG FOR THE BUCK, ITS OLIVA
I gotta say and this is my sole opinion here, Cubans that I’ve tried within the past 3-5 years have been absolutely horrible. The only one that I was blown away by was a Custom Roll I obtained from a friend that went to Habanos Fest a couple years ago. Other than that of the 15-20 I’ve tried over these past few years were absolutely subpar
Do you guys think Cuba will ever improve there quality control?
Only time will tell!
@@holtscigars Yes sir
NICARAGUA, HANDS DOWN
Cuba, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
But it's more about the brand and which portfolio than country.
