the funny thing is, as admirable as this story sound, any cuban that smokes cigar, smokes cuban cigars. As a matter of fact, business man in Florida has been making millions of dollars by selling to cubans things they could only find in Cuba, such as drinks, cigars, all sorts of food, etc...This proves that people do not care about what happened 60 years ago, certainly not the new generation. If there's money to be made in Cuba, they'll be in Cuba. The 20 fingers in my hands are not enough to count people I have interacted with, that say they will never go back to Cuba, and as soon as Obama opened up for American citizens to travel to Cuba on vacation, as soon as money was flowing into Cuba again, these same people were flying back to get back their cuban citizenship, to invest and open new business. Guess what, the same cuban goverment was still there, and none cared. None cared who or what the government was because good amount of money was being made through the american tourism. Of course that all came to a stop right after Trump became president. Funny enough, Trump wanted to do business in Cuba a few years prior, and was denied. Interesting that shortly after he reverse the great progress Oabama achieved, you can decide for your self what you make of that.
Must say I'd prefer the series v but I'm an currently enjoying the oliva series g special g ATM. I'm half way threw an it has been an excellent cigar . Haven't ashed it yet an it's holding half a cigar of ash atm. (great construction) . Is burning very even.. good cigar overall in my book. Will probably buy a few to see what age does to them .
Why famous cigar aficionados like them do not cherish the ritual of perfectly lighting up a cigar? Burning a cigar like that, in a rush, has nothing to do with all the idea, the charm and the refinement of smoking cigars.
Oh, my God! Does this man believes he understands about cigar? Lighting it but like that? He simply burned the cigar. He carbonized it. The classical cigar aficionados always tell us that we should never light up a cigar in a rush, especially burning it like he did.
There's nothing finer than a great cigar, on the floor of an Arby's restroom , peaking out from around the toilet bowl, next to the brown that wont flush down, whattaya clown.
0:42 - I lost any respect to this guy ruining the precious wrapper like that. And that's the publisher of the Cigar Aficionado? Horrible. 0:54 - That's how you do it. Michael Jordan is the real cigar aficionado here.
Interesting and nice to see, but I'm wondering: is he not holding the flame too directly to the cigar? he is not lighting in, but burning it I understand. Also, if you really use too much drink on the cigar, you risk setting it in fire all of a sudden because it is high alcohol in any case? Please let me know what you think
