Davidoff Year of the Dragon: ASMR First Smoke | Kirby Allison
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2024
- 🐉 In today's video, I smoke the 2024 Davidoff Year of the Dragon Limited Edition Zodiac cigar for the first time! Enjoyed in the tranquility of my office with a glass of Lagavulin 16 year old scotch whiskey.
The 2024 Davidoff Year of the Dragon Double Corona, the latest addition to Davidoff's limited edition zodiac series. Since 2012, Davidoff has been releasing a yearly zodiac-themed cigar, and these have quickly become collector's items. The zodiac animal for each year not only influences the packaging but also the design of the cigar itself, allowing Davidoff to showcase both creativity and innovation in their cigar design.
⚠️ Note: the blue highlights on the close-up camera was due to an incorrect setting that allowed the focus peaking to output to the external recording monitor. Please forgive this technical oversight. Unfortunately, there was no way to fix this without re recording the entire piece.

No background music ….. PERFECT. This is how your videos should be. Loved this.
Why cant all cigar reviews be EXACTLY like this. Incredibly therapeutic to watch if one cannot enjoy one themselves. More please! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Sometimes a gentleman just needs some time to reflect on his thoughts while enjoy a good strong whiskey and a perfect cigar.
@@tictactoehuhn6 That's fair. Was more of a general statement of enjoying one that hits the spot per se.
I wouldn't call Lagavulin 16 strong, especially when diluted with a lots of ice, but the point still stands!
that whisky aint strng anymore after that amount of ice in it.... please
Far too much ice for that dram.
Shouldn’t put ice in good malt whisky, only room temperature water.
If you like ice in your whiskey, I would humbly recommend you try a blend not a malt. As your palate is seeking refreshment because of the cigar, even try something along the lines of a scotch & dry.
I totally avoid ice when drinking single malt. Ice condenses the primary flavors. I few drops of water and that's it!
Let people drink as they please
Having met Kirby many times at his shop, I can tell he wanted to talk so badly lol. Good job man.
Where is his shop located?
The white noise of the smoke extractor in the background is sublime. More of these! Great work team.
Lovely episode, although I do not personally like Peated Scotches like Lagavulin, with Cigars. I find those two palates step on each other a bit. I would prefer an un-peated Sherry Cask expression like Arran or Glenfarclas. Or even the Balvenie Caribbean Cask you like. And that's a lovely table. Please use a coaster. Cheers.
best RUclips channel for gentlemen
Yesssss
Absolutely
Totally agree with you. kirby should be made an English citizen, then made a Peer.
Oh and given a knighthood in between.
Incredible video, the only think I think you could add to top this off would be the subtle scratches of a nice fountain pen extracting the thoughts of its instrumentalist, I love writing a passage or two while enjoying a good whiskey and cigar
Im sitting here in pajamas drinking water while watching a gentleman in a suit smoking top of the line cigar with amazing whiskey, and I enjoyed every single second of it!
Ice in the Lagavulin? Murder!
He knows a few things but not whiskey and not cigars.
So many ice... He should never drink whisky! Just cold water from pipes :(
He murdered it so we can have asmr Kirby a true gentleman
I wouldn’t have added ice myself just a tiny splash of water but Kirby can drink his whisky however he likes
I never understood why people put ice in any whiskey at all. I mean, if you buy a single malt you do it because you like the taste of the thing.
So why do you put water in it?
Its like putting three centiliters of water in a glas of ale or stout.
I dont get it.
Kirby, I've been watching your channel since it had 100,000 subscribers.
You have reached great heights, it must be admitted.
Your lifestyle and the way you present it, your social circle, your friends are worthy of the closest attention.
Thank you for the pleasant minutes and hours spent on your channel.
I 2nd that.
i was mesmerized. I don’t smoke cigars but I watched the whole video anyway.
Whisky connoisseurs watching through their fingers
I appreciate that you recognize how much the ASMR community is to thank for bringing attention to your channel. 💪🏼😎
Oh god, could you ever get more of a watered down whisky? Maybe a less peaty one would be better
Ice with Lagavulin 16? Don't go to Scotland or you'll be asked ever so politely to leave, after they've given you a Glasgow Kiss.
bro the sound the ice made when it dropped into the crystal glass 👌
I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t smoke a special release davidoff with a peated scotch. Kills all the flavors! My man!
He have already burnt a cigar at the beginning... It does not matter
This is amazing, more please! Thanks Kirby, and cheers 🥂
I've just painted my kitchen that same colour of blue. Mrs wasn't keen but now she's pleased. Happy wife, happy life.
Watching the paint dry would have been more exciting than watching this mess!!!
the smoke does clear out realy nice
Kirby, you’re killing me with the sound effects. 😫😭 I need a cigar and a drink S.O.S 😂 Love it!
I always learning and seeing new stuff ,that lighter is really something to have💯 good looking cigar!!!!
I tried to get a box, failed. Will keep looking. Davidoff is making some of the best cigars you can get, including cubans...
How would you describe the taste?
@@DietrichStockman transcendent and smooth.
Nailed it!
Lagavulin with a cigar is an interesting pairing that I must try one day. Can't go wrong with a Davidoff cigar either. Fantastic smokes.
Kirby, I’m disappointed you just drowned that drink. Couple of drops, not half the ant arctic! :) 😊
Everyone enjoys drinks differently. Who cares as long as you enjoy it.
To each his own , but sure made me laugh
@@hassankhan6955yes and no, at this point he isn’t even drinking whisky. He put 3 cubes in, let them melt in the drink and proceeded to add more. He’s basically drinking whisky flavored water
@@harrisonfawcett307 you can drink your whiskey with cow piss if you want. If you enjoy it like that, then good for you, enjoy. Don't matter its your whisky
@@hassankhan6955 for a page like Kirby’s it does matter. Go to any whisky place in the world, people will judge you and look at you funny some will even get mad. Regardless of how you enjoy your drink there are proper ways to do things
Kirby, I wouldn’t ice that Lag, but to each their own. I love watching you smoke cigars with the Armenian boys, because it takes time and Eddie’s pace is so chill. I can also see when Edward isn’t with you, you torch the poor stick, You actually gave me anxiety rushing through that delicious stick. That’s part of the challenge of shooting it on camera, I guess. Smoking a cigar isn’t gripping video, When you engage with the Sahakians, your charm shows, and cigar is just a medium for great friendship and conversation. I understand the challenge, my friend. I always enjoy your work. How was the stick????
I always think he looks out of his depth with Edward and Eddie. It’s quite cringeworthy tbh.
@@My_Work_Here_is_Done.. Like a little boy desperately trying act like a grown-up and failing miserably.
@@user-rs3er8vz2l Exactly!!! It's really rather sad and pitiful, but I suppose we shouldn't be too critical of the way children behave.
It's these moments 😤👑🤌🏽
Sitting here smoking my Savinelli 616 Tortuga (purchased from Davidoff of London this last Christmas) filled with Peterson nightcap with a glass of Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof and truly enjoying this video.
Sounds perfect 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Kirby. Delightful video as always! But I just noticed a small thing. On every frame shot from your right side angle, you can see a laser-like blue light blinking on you. I don't know much about filming, but I guess its part of the equipment somewhere. Other than that, it's a great video! Thank you for your content!
This is a focus-setting (basically visualising where the camera is focusing, without guessing from the bokeh) that is shown on their external monitors (not recorded, obviously) but I guess they messed up sth and there is no way to remove it, without rerecording the entire video! It will probably never happen again.
EDIT: (Kirby's Explanation = Note: the blue highlights on the close-up camera was due to an incorrect setting that allowed the focus peaking to output to the external recording monitor. Please forgive this technical oversight. Unfortunately, there was no way to fix this without re recording the entire piece.)
Noticed the same
As delightful as that Lagavulin is, not something you would ever want to pair with a cigar. Yikes.
Very nice video to reflex , anyway just a humble suggestion, next time try cold water in place of ices with the whisky 🥃, considering also this was an excellent 16 old single malt whisky
Cheers!!!!
Simply brilliant
Excellent!!
4:00 when you flip to the jet, give the flame some room to dance on the tobacco and not to suffocate nor char the ends. The light flame can touch the wraper but do not allow the jet to score the wraper. Lots of respect for your, channel and growth.
That ventilation is next level!!
Ideally, the ice should be crystal clear. There is a way to make your own crystal clear ice to remove those white impurities from the ice.
AMAZING
absolutely splendid kirby. Well done!
Nice!!! Superb video!
Hello Mr Allison.
Thank you for being a genuine inspiration to me for self improvement. My friend and I are going to buy cigars for the completion of his finals. It will be his first time partaking, and I was hoping you might be able to give a suggestion. We live in America, so unfortunatly cubans are out of the question. Do you have any quality American brands you can suggest.
Many thanks!
A Gentleman's Mild Meditation Is Always Enjoyed In Precious Silent Gaps.
This video is perfection. ASMR with no music. True old school relaxation, gentleman style... Good Sir, have you tried your whisky with one teaspoon of water instead(for 43%) and no water for 40%! No right or wrong btw, it's all about enjoyment. With Whisky, different compounds get released the more water is mixed with the whisky, so on the rocks could be a fascinating way to get a varied flavor over time.
Thank you good Sir, and hope to see more soon!!
Now that's art 🙏🏾
Love it
When I first discovered your YT channel, at first it kind of reminded me of an idea for an old Saturday Night Live skit (Back when SNL was actually worth watching.).
However, I really enjoy your videos, being a cigar smoker, myself. Liked your video discussing Ian Fleming. I actually studied him in one course I had while completing a B.A. degree in Intelligence Studies. He was basically an operational planner, with some wild ideas for missions, hence you see the transition from that to his Bond novels.
And yeah, he was a drinker. And yeah, a properly substituted Vesper (to match the original proofs of the gin and vodka) will make you higher than a kite. I recommend taking the "three measures gin, one measure vodka..." recipe, shaking it, then splitting the drink with another person.

Awesome! Now that’s how to enjoy life!
Love this video. Never understand why there’s always so many haters on RUclips.
Amazing video!
*Suggestion:* Instead of doing nothing all this time and be awkward, you can try next time maybe writing a Cigar Review, with taste notes and burn/construction on a nice piece of paper with a nice fountain pen..!! I thin that'd be amazing!
Would you like some whisky with that meltwater?
Sublime.
Pretty cool 👍🏻
What were you reading?
Hi, Kirby! Yes I agree... Constantly talking is much more difficult than being silent in your videos! This video turned out really cool! Keep it up!)
Lagavulin 16 and davidoff, good choice.
¡Fantastic! 🧐
That ash tray is a thing of beauty 👌🏾
Brother. You were hitting on all cylinders! You are so intense. I love that you know it and it's so fun to watch! Thanks brother. Cheers ..... although .... I could use 1 more touch up and 7 more cubes.
such a great video I enjoyed a cigar with you
I wish more people would be introspective when smoking their cigars, it would allow for better conversation
Absolutely loving this clip. Your so lucky. at your age i had my kids running me ragged going to after school programmes/lessons. So very envious.
So glad to see you enjoy these few simple things in life Kirby.
Out of interest what is the book you are reading? Looks like a collectors item. Something I am very interested in. Enjoy.
Love the music you chose to accompany.
Great tutorial on how to be awesome🤟😎
Kirby. Thanks for the ASMR. Please do one with your indoor cigar vest, loafer and rested on a good sofa
Kirby, I did not anticipate enjoying this video but It was oddly satisfying and I could not take my eyes off the screen. I did catch you wanting to talk a few times throughout, I am sure that was difficult to remain silent.
This is the life I, one day, want to live.
Mr.Allison, I like that DB suit by Divij but that collar gap is quite noticeable. Cheers
Look into clear ice molds. They make ice cubes that removes the impurities so you're not putting cloudy ugly ice in such a premium whiskey.
That’s a proper pour, good lad.
I know that piece. It's "Gnossienne No. 1" by Erik Satie.
Nothing better than a good scotch paired with a great cigar !!!
The "Virgin Puff" looked outstanding.
I had to look up ASMR to find out what the acronym stands for (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) - but after watching, and perhaps more importantly, LISTENING to, this video, I can say that you've nailed it. Congratulations, Kirby
ASMR is very popular on RUclips, strange thing you didn't know it already.
Well, I'd heard of ASMR, of course; but had to look up the acronym. Anyway, Kirby's is one of the best on RUclips@@DietrichStockman
@@Yaris510 I prefer Kewas ASMR channel, but I'm a ladies men of course 😜
For everyone saying he murdered the whiskey with all that ice…who cares? People drink to the taste of their palate. Elmer T Lee mixed his bourbon with sprite…I’m sure that when he is around his friends and has a drink, no one cares.
Great videos, Kirby…keep them coming!
Enjoying a cigar. Lit the way he wants. Dressed the way he likes. Making a drink in a crystal cut his way. Kirby, Enjoy!
the best part is after the first one 1/3 of the cigar and the last 1/3 part is a little bit more heavy for me when i smoke cigars ...
Not a word spoken yet your expression says it all. Davidoff,Lagavulin .....and the book?
Did Kirby Activate RUclips Premium on his channel? I can watch his videos in window mode on mobile (no other channels, and I don’t have Premium).
If so, top tier, thank you!
kirby, i’m slobbering 🤤 all over myself here brother! 😆
The concentration on pulling the ice cubes out 😂 either a little drunk or on the spectrum
You should do more videos like this the ASMR world is crazy popular do the right one and it will get millions and millions of views.
I enjoy a Davidoff Escurio grand toro and a glass of D'usse cognac sitting on my back deck overlooking the golf course and lake Conroe while wearing my fancy Dickies work close and steel toe boots. I get the same affect.🤣🤣
Absolutely annihilated the foot of that cigar 🤦🤦🤦 Gently toast, please......
Also never use the torch part of a light to blow directly into the foot of the cigar. It blows the ash up the cigar and ruins the whole experience. I’ve tried and tested this myself. Gently toast then suck and toast. If you have matches even better! But gently toasting is where it’s at
This video isn't to my taste, but dang, the haters are a bit unhinged. Jealousy is a poor look, fellas.
Jealousy? In light of the character and purpose of this channel, people are just trying to educate others on the correct way to drink whisky and to light and smoke cigars in order to extract the best taste and experience out of them. Taste is personal, but there should be an awareness of the ‘proper’ way of doing something, particularly when premium, luxury goods are the focus. It also helps people avoid embarrassing themselves if doing these things in public.
@@MrsGargled ahahahahahah
kirby i appreciate you putting out content for the diff types of ppl who subscribe to your channel. i came for the ASMR but i ended up learning so much.
It makes sense to do an ASMR vid actually. Good quality as always
What book is on a table?
Kirby rulz that lighter is lit
Hey, can anyone help. If I visit Cuba, can I buy a couple of boxes of 25 cigars and bring them back to England? Also, how much cheaper are cigars in Cuba say for Cohibas or H. Upmans or Hoyo De Monterreys?
I know the whisky tribes rule number one, but Lagavulin with ice hurt my feelings a little bit haha.
Anyway, I smoked one yesterday either some champagne, absolutely great cigar.
when silence speaks..
I don’t know why i almost watched this whole video but i did😂
What whisky s’that ?
Lagavulin 16
How much is a box of these?
Most Places $590.00 USD
Although i love the lighter...i think the Sahakians will be mortified watching you char that cigar when you lit it haha.. still a good video.
A great demonstration of how NOT to drink a malt whisky! Never ice and water by the drop if required
He's a total fraud.
You drink whiskey the way you want to drink it. Especially if you paid for it. (I know you didn't pay for his bottle).
He can drink it with a huge chunk of non-pure ice, 2 oz. of water or with 8oz. of Coke. It's his money and enjoinment.
All you pretentious "whiskey-aficionados" that tell others how to drink their whiskey should go touch some grass and drink a glass of Blanton's.
Good day.
The perfect way to enjoy a classic smoke.
There should be interview lead by Kirby
What a beautiful cigar...
