This has got to be the best most comprehensive guide for people new to cigars on RU-vid. This guy really knows his stuff and does a great job explaining it.

I just wanted to look up "Arnold is ballsy with his cigars" and now I'm getting cigar videos in my recommendations

Smoking is surprisingly the least dangerous thing these guys have done

I'm so glad you guys put up the yellow-text to correct facts when you make a mistake. Too many RU-vidrs adamantly claim something false in their videos and just leave it uncorrected.

The knowledge the guy had on cigars is astounding. He kept me involved in the whole video. Very nice

6:47 Inspecting the cigar 13:00 Cutting the cigar 17:58 Cold draw 25:36 Enjoying the taste of cigar 29:40 Important thing for Smoker 31:40

I'd love to see a nice 40 minute episode on higher end coffees of the whole spectrum. Like the beer episodes

Turning 18 tomorrow and going to buy my first cigar. So glad they made the videos. My grandfather was a cigar smoker and when I was little he would tell me that he would buy me my first cigar. Unfortunatly he died when I was 12 and wasn't able to. But thanks guys this helped me out a lot.

im a 17 year old who just watched nearly 40 minutes of four dudes smoking cigars

This is a fantastic lesson for beginners and intermediate smokers alike. Thanks for doing this. No pretension, no showing off with unnecessary information, and no product placement. You guys just got a new sub.

Smoked my first cigar because of this video and I give the experience a 9/10. Thanks for the shared experience, these kind of episodes hit that beautiful sweet spot of informative & entertaining that you guys are so good at achieving.

Jason looks like a frickin mob boss when he smokes

Me at 3 am: ok I need sleep RU-vid: *watch 4 guys for 40 minutes smoking a cigar* Me: maybe one more video

By far the most informative and entertaining video on cigars on RU-vid.

This is the best channel ive ever come upon by accident

Yeah, another cigar episode! Of all the "Gentleman" episodes, these and the beer and whiskey ones have been my favorites by far! So great to learn enough about something topics like these, just enough to sound refined (or at least not an ass/chooch), and learn a ton about some of my favorite things to enjoy in the process! *You guys should totally do a wine series as well!*

Thank you Jason for including Michael at 4:04 poor guy couldn't get a word in over his talkative companion.

This was the best video that covered everything about the experience that is a cigar. Informative and never slows down or got boring!

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Not very interested in smoaking personally but its very interesting to see how much really goes into this kind of thing.

My airbnb in Colombia South America was in a top floor, so when you sat on the toilet, and opened the bathroom door, you got to see the sky and the mountains and felt an awesome breeze. I sat down, lit a puerto rican cigar and put on porcelain from Moby. Best crap ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The most informative Cigar related videos on the internet. Wow I learned soo much its crazy.

10:30 to 11:05, us the best part. This video involves a lot of science, this section is probably the most science packed. I love when you have many subject matters involved in one video based on the original subject. It shows how many different things can be related and makes things, simpler, easier and gunner to learn about.

Smoking a 6x60 Mr Brownstone while watching this, im 23 and have had a passion for cigars (all tobacco basically)for about 5 years now and its so great getting to see my fav youtube channel do a video on one of my fav hobbies!

Cigars infused with coffee taste the best and bourbon infused cigars are the most relaxing to smoke.I do most of habits featured in this video but the most bizarre or wired thing that I do when smoking is to tear the label off the cigar first before cutting, cold drawing, or lightning and smoking. One I want to enjoy the cigar as much as possible without smoking the label itself and two I keep the label in order to look for the make of the cigar again if it's good. I only smoke about once every three months so when I do I want to relish every once of the experience.

Hey guys, I would love to see you guys learn some modern off-grid survival skills. After learning the perfect gentlemanly skills and the most dastardly rogue tricks, a certain foreign leader could become jealous of your accomplishments and send agents after you. How do you plan to not only hide, but thrive? This could be a multi-episode mini-series, where you learn different parts of the trade. Shelter, Farming, local networking (do I see a squarespace sponsor for that episode?). Even if not, could we get episodes on proper attire (suits)? You'd be helping all is almost adults be slightly less scared of the "real" world we have heard so much about. I can't wait to see what you do next.

I have a lovely humidor made from maple, hand carved with a mountain scene and pack of wolves carved into it, brass hinges, and lined with spanish cedar. It only holds 6 cigars, each separated, but that's all I need. It was a gift from someone special who's no longer with us. I don't know if it's true that spanish cedar helps repel tobacco beetle, but I do love the scent you get each time you open it up.

Quick shoutout to Brian. Dude I've been watching you since Scam School (even scored a few beers because of it) and you're always entertaining! Congrats!

"gentle friendly bugs that you can smoke" lol

The fact that nicotine has an impact on your blood sugar was really interesting, as I suffer from diabetes and definitely recognise the feeling of having low blood sugar. But hey, since alcohol is converted into sugar, my favorite thing to do, which is drinking Whiskey and smoking cigars, should technically balance my sugar levels quite well. Cheers!

One of the best cigar tutorials I’ve ever seen, and I’ve watched a lot of them. Awesome video! And Romacraft cigars are awesome!

This vid and the other about cigars is world-class! I was smoking them wrong the entire time (newbie) and this cleared up SO MUCH for me. Thanks guys, it's greatly appreciated

Man, as someone who rarely smokes cigars but likes to socially when a friend offers, that sugar tip is great to know.

Love seeing you guys cover my favorite hobby!

Very in depth! I learned a few new things I've never heard before in other tutorial videos. Thanks!

Really informative video and even though I am an experienced smoker I learned a few things. Skip is an interesting guy and I had the joy of hanging out with him and Steve Saka at Romacraft’s factory in Esteli in January 2020. Keep making those great cigars.

Congratulations for the cigar series, it's being really interesting and informative. I would love to watch an tobacco pipe one. Pipe smoking has it's own world, related to pipe desings, tobacco types, proper lighters and so on. I really hope to see you guys approach on the subject!

Very helpful I've been trying to get into smoking cigars but it can be hard to get practical experience without either being judged by the store workers or not being educated correctly thanks guys

I love that. Michael is just chillin enjoying his smoke in the background

That cigar lounge is super sweet and the guys that run it seem really chill.

Man, I love being 16. Watching videos at 5:30 in the morning about people smoking cigars as if I were going to smoke one any time soon

Loved this series! You guys should do a series on pipes.

Im from Austin as well, I stumbled upon your channel by accident around the time this video was filmed and I have not been disappointed since!

My grandfather smoked Coronas 8 a day and inhaled them since he was 12. He died at age 64 and 364 days old one day before his first pension cheque. They did list it as emphysema but he also drank about 40 ounces of booze a day since he was 16. Every picture we have of him is with a cigar in his hand except for a few with a cigarette. He didn't care and smoked in the hospital when he was dying.

A series like this on pipe smoking would be interesting.

I love this episode! Also when Jason mentioned machine guns and cigars I kept thinking of "Bull" Randleman from Band of Brothers

The most informative video I’ve seen on the subject. I learned so much-thank you to all involved.

5 years after this video started my cigar journey, my country finally got in Roma Craft Tabac cigars and I got to rewatch while lighting up an Intemperance Torpedo. Thank you lads

Heat rises, but if your cigar burns inconsistently, both in mine and my dad's experience, turn it so the part that's not burning is on bottom. For whatever reason, it will even out a bit more easily on the bottom. Granted, it's just anecdotal evidence, and I personally don't have a ton of experience with it (though my dad has a fair bit), but that's what we've found.

I really love this presentation, noticed how mike so competently added just small notes to his friend’s presentation, he added the key temperature proceeded to take a few boss puffs and then added key points like “ first u gonna have your cellphone switched off”. They did such a beautiful job. Tq for helping me understand my vice as I get older

I'm 25 and really needed a new hobby. Thanks, guys.

Such an entertaining video and so informative! I love what you guys are doing and as a begginer cigar smoker I'm learning a lot. Laughing along with you guys! Great relaxing watch.

I'm coming back to this program after many years... Thank you all

31:07 pffft that look.. dude definitely smokes around his kids..

As a highly enthusiastic and experienced cigar guy I have to say this was a good video led by someone who's well informed . Great for people who are starting to explore trh cigar life, nice work guys

Man about the 3rd time I've watched this and I love the chill vibe through out the entirety of the video

Informative, classy, well made, and makes one yearn for the better things in life, not settling for second best. Keep up the good work, gentlemen. I just recently got into cigars myself, Cohibas, Dominican Republic, not Cuba, so I have thoroughly enjoyed this educational and fun video.

Damn you're making me want a cigar so bad.

I like how all of these etiquette things have so much in common with smoking weed

Most chill and informative video I have ever seen.

Love roma craft cigars, didn't know the guys the guys that run it are so knowledgeable. I have been smoking for years, Im a bit of a nerd with cigars and cigar knowledge, and I am always annoyed by how little cigar "professionals" know so little. These guys are incredibly knowledgeable and well versed, I am pleasantly surprised.

My 1st 2 times smoking a Dragon's Milk was overwhelming. I REALLY got light headed. But after that, I was good. And now its my favorite

I appreciate and respect that they spoke about the unhealthy risks, I think I'll buy a few cigars from these boys 👌

this is my most favorite episode. i keep watching it over and over

I think this just clarified a lot of my questions on smoking cigars

I enjoyed the information in this video.. I would love to see a similar video on pipe smoking. Types of tobacco, how to smoke etc.

Pipe tobacco next!!!!

Great episode with a lot of really extensive information. Thanks guys!

U guys pick the best people to enlighten us with

27:11 Rare footage of Fidel Castro planning a socialist revolution while enjoying a Cigar.

Currently using the russian push up programme to pass my RAF fitness test :D Thanks Modern Rogue

Love how much these guys know about cigars truly

Edward Sahakian shows the elegant way to light and enjoy the cigar ~ Davidoff of London 🇬🇧 always nice to see the different aficionados .. thanks for the video

This past November, I attended the Breeders Cup in Kentucky and was struck by 1.) how little I knew about horse racing 2.) how little I knew about fancy culturality of such things and 3.) how much I felt out of sorts without a cigar. Until I found these episodes of MR, I knew almost nothing about cigars. Now, if I ever go back to a horse race, I will at least know 1 of the three things I didn't know in November 2018.

Every group has Guy -- 1. Giving info 2. Other 1 is scholar but keep silence to let 1st on to shine. 3. Loud af 4. 4th one thinking why i even came here,

Really like these two vids on cigars, made me interested enough to give them a try

Skip is fantastic at explaining! Just bought a bunch of these cigars at NY Cigar Inn

Interesting stuff about the moderate smoking of cigars isn't really very unhealthy according to the FDA. I'd have to look into that, because I was convinced that it would still have a negative empact, being smoke and all. Other than that, this video is very informative! Good job!!

I'm staring at my humidor right now and starting too drool.

As a cigar smoker, this has elevated my enjoyment of the occasional cigar (2x a week) ten-fold! Thank you all.

This is a great video for beginners. You guys hit it rite on the nail. Good job guys!

I'd love to see an episode about tobacco pipes. I've been smoking one for 4 years and I love it. Very cool culture surrounding it and really great smoking experiences.

I wonder what cigar would you recommend to go with pruno?

This video series got me into cigars.... I can't believe I was missing this in my life!

Brian and Jason I really respect you guys I watch all your video u guys respect everyone keep up the amazing work

This video was really useful. I'm a smoker, and I always wanted to try a cigar, but I was intimidated by the "mistery" of it. Now I kinda' know what to look for. Thanks !

Clicked this as soon as I saw it. Love your work, Brian!

This is by far the best cigar video I’ve seen for beginners!

Both Rosales and Skip are some excellent stand up guys, really cool to chill and chat with.

Man I love these long cultured episodes

Outstanding, comprehensive video on cigar smoking; I would expect no less from the Modern Rogues ! :-) That said, I would respectfully add a correction. While a nuanced smoke is difficult to enjoy while doing something like mowing the lawn, if you're outside, especially if you are moving around, you want a cigar with more robust body then what you get if you in an environment where the air isn't moving much. The inside of a garage with the door open is probably in between lawn mowing and completely inside where the air isn't moving much and the smoke hangs around. As a general rule, you want one stage up in robustness than you normally enjoy if you're mowing the lawn, golfing. Obviously, its not just about the body and cigars are even more so than other things: "your millage may vary." Different people find different cigar taste profiles enjoyable. The right one is the one you enjoy for that particular environment, your particular taste. There are people that love what I would call a "bland" flat cigar, as I enjoy exceptionally robust cigars with as much complexity as I can get - this no matter the environment. However, that is just what I found I liked. Other people's taste run in different ways and its all ok. And I should mention that I'm a grandmother who never smoked cigarettes who was turned on to cigars by chance about 20 years ago or so in my late 40's. Stereotypes hold that I should like a mild cigar, something with a smaller ring gauge. However, the opposite is in fact true in my case: Again, I like very robust, very complex cigars and I prefer a large gauge as I dislike a hard draw (as a general rule, larger gauges will offer easier draws). That said, this isn't a contest. Again, its about what tastes right for you in various environments and circumstances. I would also add (though I may have missed it, in which case I apologize) that if the cigar becomes almost sour, and the "cherry" is cone shaped, you are smoking the cigar too vigorously, or puffling too often, or both (what cigarette smokers may call, "hot boxing"). One of the many reasons I love cigar smoking is that it forces me to slow down, take a break, relax. It is far better to have to relight a cigar that has gone out than err on the other side and ruin your experience. Fear not however, let the cigar go out, when re-lighting, exhale through the cigar somewhat....assertively? a few times and this should clear out any lingering sour flavor and you can go back to enjoying your smoke. (Finally, I will add that when I was younger, if I was engaged in physical activity, I had a greater tendency to hotbox a cigar, simply because I was breathing harder. So, when golfing or something, just be a bit more mindful). .

A very solid, no-nonsense vid. Thanks!

I'm very proud of my stash!!! I've been working on it for about a couple of months. I have a substantial amount of cigars of different types and flavors.😁💕

i would like to see an episode on pipe smoking

Brushwood is such a chooch that he coughed while inhaling an unlit cigar....

Excellent video. Learned a lot. Thank you for putting this together. 🙏

Love having more content keep up the great work guys
