The man speaks so carefully he takes the term “choose your words” to a completely different level outside of mundane humans reach. He literally NEVER mis-speaks! I can really learn from men like this, they remind me of my grandfather and his generation of gentleman. Eddies a smooth ass dude, he’s definitely invited to the cook out 🙌🏾😂
his voice is a 10/10, but its his pacing and cadence that make him an expert orator and conversationalist. each word selected and placed just as it should be to construct a wonderful sentence that actually says and does what it means to in an eloquent manor none the less is just brilliant. i love Louis Theroux documentaries for the way he disarms people with words.
I 100% agree. I have never smoked a cigar and have no relation to the particular industry/lifestyle but somehow I fell myself strangely drawn to the content of yours especially with the Sahakians family. They really seem to be good hearted and humble people. I like that when people are not ego driven but have respectful freindly nature.
Haha totally agree,no shame in being a commoner though bro,I’ve probably used more profanities in less than two minutes then these guys have spat between the three of them in a lifetime lol
I had the pleasure of meeting Eddie Sahakian in London. By luck I saw him locking up the shop at 6pm and knocked on the door asking if I could take a picture. Eddie was shocked that somebody would notice him an I was a bit starstruck. Such a gentleman he is, we talked about cigars and the importance of family. I was told by my father to visit the shop in London like he used to decades ago. Meeting Eddie was a very nice experience he is a very genuine and polite man. Honestly, I can't wait to visit the shop again and hopefully talk to him again! 😃
I know this is a year old now but at the 12:10 mark The way Eddie's smile drops and the sincerity with which he thanks Kirby and tells him his opinion means a lot to them is so heart warming, the Sahakians are such gentlemen
I absolutely love these videos. The reason why I watch them most often is because I was born into poverty and it triggered an innate fascination with the finest things in life. I set out to build my own business and many more and so far I am succeeding steadily and consistently. The videos here reflect my future ambitions and ideal life.
The respect shown between father and son is such a delight to watch. Thank you Kirby for offering such a great insight into the world of Davidoff and the charming Sahakians.
As a Marketing student I find these types of videos very insightful, showing how the product itself is only part of the experience. I think Eddie his father realise this more than anyone, it's about story telling (as demonstrated in their packaging and branding) craftsmanship, lifestyle, nostalgia, mutal interest, togetherness, and being a part of somethhing which (I imagine) feels almost magical as soon as you step into their shop. It's not just about the cigars but the experience as a whole, envoking emotion and establishing connection. Which Eddie and his father appear to be exceptionally good at, they are able to put themselves in the "shoes" of their clients very well. And the best thing about it, it's authentic, a great demonstration of Business and Marketing done right with the client in mind. Great content Kirby!
Very well said dude. Their utter genius marketing and salesmanship is in making you feel like you're in a special place, partaking in a special event and are, in fact, special yourself! But also like you said, I believe that they actually believe all of those things too, which makes it so wonderful. And if you know any Persians, you know that it is DEEPLY embedded in their culture to be immense hosts and to treat their guests like royalty. I've experienced in it many times and even being with refugees who receive £35 a week to live off are able to make you feel very special. I run a business that focuses on what my ideal client wants out of the service, and it has been easy to close deals because of this. When you know your customer and talk to them about their problems and what they'd want in a service, it's easy to sell to other customers of the same profile. The Sahakians understand the desire for exclusive, special experience!
I beg to disagree. Respect and manners cost an ungodly amount of time and effort to learn, practice, and perfect. Nonetheless, watching and learning from Kirby and these fine gentlemen is pure joy.
Listening to Mr.Sahakians is not just about the cigar, i’m actually learning life lessons among other things. And i’m in my 40’s, never stop learning and growing especially when listening to Mr.Sahakians! ❤️🇺🇸
From 🇩🇴, very pleasant sit and see 3 authentic British 🇬🇧 gentlemen enjoying a product from the heartland of my loved country.... thanks for these great program good men !
I'm so grateful for this video and it would be great to have a series visiting the Dominican republic with the Sahakian and Max learning about the tradition and different stages that go through making the cigar
As I watched this video, Edward's cigar ash is holding on for its dear life as he waves his arm around in conversation. Truly an impressive cigar to handle the way Edward speaks. Great video!
When Edward Sahakian is smoking a cigar, the cigar ash doesn't obey the laws of physics, it obeys the laws of the Sahakians. When we smoke a cigar, it falls on our lap immediately.
These gentlemen are amazing to listen to and observe. I live in the Nottingham area, and will make it my business to visit the shop at some point when I eventually get to visit London again.
Always a pleasure to watch/listen to an episode with the Sahakian's, perfect manners and always soft spoken - tbh, I could fall asleep listening to them talk, it really is soothing for me. (definitely unintentional asmr, for sure)
What an excellent Christmas present to end the day. The best videos on this channel are these 3 gentlemen together, conversing and sharing interests for one another. Thank you Sahakians and thank you Kirby for the video. All the best for '22.
Love listening to these gentlemen. I honestly cannot wrap my head around how energy consuming it must be for men like this to constantly be maintaining such a proper and straight laced speech and body language. I'm a bit of a degenerate myself, so I could only keep that up for a few minutes at best.
how eddie looks at his father is a lesson for all of us , he shows show much appreciation and respect and love in his eyes towards his father edward i love it, ive recently lost my father and after not speaking for so many years i wish i got the chance to look at my father in this same way eddie looks at his more often.
These videos always bring such joy, the great amount of respect & mannerisms towards each other are so heart warming. I wish great health to you all, and hope you have a great new year.
Another outstanding video Kirby. Well done! You and the Sahakians are a wonderful and refreshing partnership. I hope to see many more in future. All the best for 2022. Blessings.
Absolutely phenomenal, gentlemen. I cannot think of a better way to spend the holidays than to watch this brilliant occasion while enjoying a fine cigar and beautiful Scotch myself alongside such auspicious conversation on the momentous 40th anniversary of the beautifully appointed shop that is Davidoff of London. Cheers and all honour to you all in this wonderful season of Christmas!
Such an example of being gentlemen and proper conversation. I always enjoy your videos, especially those including the Sahakians. I hope to one day visit their shop and meet them in person.
@@jaredhynum4823 It takes decades to truly master, Eddie and Edward are much older than Kirby I believe. Kirby will come into his own soon enough and be as eloquent without a doubt.
Because Kirby bought into this life and plays a character.. well for an American in Texas, I admit. But, the London gent does exist and the Sahakian’ are that. And he does show some robotic tendencies that show he’s not completely at ease with his character as the true gentlemen are.
watching this for a second time. The level of respect that Eddie has in the way he speaks to his father is remarkable. I really wish more people would speak to their parents like that. "Allow me to bring this (the ashtray) to you." Of utmost respect.
Edward's lovely story of how he started brings a tear to the eye ... his dream came true by chance, and now his son Eddie; the consummate gentleman, is adding his own sensational chapter to the story. Wonderful !
Omg I have to try this cigar, nothing can replace the 702 series. It was the best 2hrs 22min of my life. The 702 had to have been 7in with a 43 ring gauge. Beautiful cigar.
Spectacular episode Kirby… the conversations you gentlemen had was of a bygone era, the fast past life here in America is dismal. How I wish we all could just slow down, have a fine cigar and an equally dramatic dram of whiskey and just enjoy a great conversation amongst friends. Thank you Kirby for making my day…
Only recently started watching your videos. Really appreciate the decorum and class of your conversations. It would be a pleasure to visit Davidoff of London when I am next in London.
That Dominica is beautiful. I’m am incredibly jealous that I cannot afford or get my hands on that cigar or that beautiful whiskey. You three are truly awesome people
I enjoy all of your videos Kirby but the episodes with the Sahakians are certainly up there as some of the best for me. Great to see you folks enjoying yourselves together in person. Cheers!
@@kirbyallison Mr. Allison, first of all - thank you for honoring me with a reply! Since I`ve got into the rich culture of cigars, I`ve been enjoying your content and amazing conversations with the likes of Sahakians and Foulkes on a regular basis. And secondly - yes! The very fact that in the modern world, where we can observe a disturbing tendency of people becoming increasingly hostile and disrespectful to each other, it is most pleasing to see we still have got fine gentlemen like yourself as well as Eddie and Edward, who have manners and the luxury of proper conduct. A true joy to spectate and listen! Greetings and best wishes from Ukraine!
As a whisky enthusiast it's lovely to watch the pairing of a 39 year old Glenrothes with these cigars to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Edward opening the shop 🥃
Those people seems lovely and the voices, charisma and wisdom of the Sahakians make me want to sit and listen to them for hours talking about their culture of fine cigars and spirits even though I know absolutely nothing to cigars and whiskey/Rhum... but if one day I want to introduce myself to cigars for some fine occasions... i'll drop by their shop for sure !
A truly amazing video. I will never get tired of watching you enjoy company with the Sahakians. Especially with the company of a cigar. I absolutely love the stories you are able to capture from both Eddie and Edward. Please keep this up. Love from Wales
Being from a Small town in Kansas and having a Mother in law from England. I hope one day I can make my way to London and have the pleasure of Opening them doors wit the Pipe Handles! Love these Vidoes!
To have the finer things in life is what we all strive for. I remember smoking a good cigar and drinking a great single malt scotch. Makes you feel like a king!
Just finding these gems as I get back into smoking cigars. In the late 90’s I enjoyed cigars while living in Panama and traveling around Central America. Now living in Texas, and an adult in my mid-40’s, I find joy is amazing Texas wines and learning about cigars. Siboney Cellars makes an amazing wine, and an amazing cigar! Best of both worlds. :). Thank you, Kirby, for amazing content!
The joy here is to be enjoying a fine cigar in the company of distinguished gentlemqn as yourselves.BRAVO .if you were to smoke by yourselves im sure it will last longer while pondering good memories and company
One tip for business: You are supposed to solve a problem, be it any sector. Previlage in business is to share your enthusiasm and maintain elegance over intergenerational time period. MR. KIRBY, you are an inspiration. -Gentlemen in becoming.
Another evening spent eavesdropping a great conversation with people who have a great passion and enjoyment for what they do! I also poured a whisky and savoured a Davidoff whilst listening. I thank you Mr Allison and Messrs Sarhakian for the interlude.
Anytime I can watch a video with the Sahakian’s, and Mr Allison, I certainly will not pass up the opportunity. Would be honored just to sit in the same room, with mouth shut, just listening. Mr Allison, when is your DR trip!
DEAR EDWARD AND EDDY itis an absolute blessing to share every moment with both of you master connoisseurs as a living proof and the reminiscent that even in the twenty-first century certain individuals can transcend space and time and create this rare moments of eternity around an ashtray with burning cigars exclusive spirits, nds marvelous relationship of a father and son. May God bless you
Mr. Sahakian selected the perfect location for his fabulous diamond on the ruff, an area loaded with gentleman stores and clubs and catering to their favorite Cigar. To know what you want, where to build and to cater and build confidence with the customer is what makes your business successful , Oh Davidoff you've done it again, Thanks Kirby.
Truly and thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. The etiquette, the sincerity and thought put into the word’s spoken. To see the relationship between father and son. And the story of the 👑 of Jordan was super cool. My respects to you gentleman.
