Why Cuban Cigars Are So Expensive | So Expensive 

When I was six years old I found my dads cigar but I don’t know what is cigar it looked like chocolate so I unwrapped in and bit into it. It was not chocolate.

“I made cigars for 61 years” -63 year old man 👀👀👀!!!

I don’t smoke or drink, but I absolutely love the craft, artistry, and history that go into creation of a peaty single malt, a good Cabernet, and a hand rolled cigar.

When I was working in Hyderabad airport Customs,8 years ago,a European passenger had gifted me a small box of 'Habana' cigars ( 12 numbers,if my memory is correct) in return for a small favour which was within my official prerogative but not illegal.The aura and aroma of those cigars were such that it took me almost two years to completely smoke it - tasting, appreciating, evaluating, comparing,etc., going all the way to a period of two years!

Imagine smoking cigars This comment was made by no smoking gang

Me: *I hate smoking* RU-vid: How about Why Cuban Cigar is so expensive? Me: Well well well, let's find out.

Cuban hand-rollers are getting more and more rare as the art dies off. Lots of Cuban cigars are machine processed nowadays. Like many of the guys here, I really enjoy seeing craftsmen at work.

Had my first cigar last week. A friend gave me a cigar kit as a gift. Absolute pleasure to smoke. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. Very delicious.

Okay my phones listening to me again. I just spoke about cigars an hour ago and this is now recommended.

JFK before banning Cuban cigars forever: *I'll take your entire stock!*

I definitely never see myself smoking anything, but my grandfather used to smoke cigars on special occasions, and I have fond memories tied to the aroma. I enjoyed getting the see the quality of craftsmanship that goes into some cigar production.

I'm a veteran, was actually addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Respect mother nature and the only great magic shrooms.

I think us non smokers can agree while smoking is gross. Cigar making like many things is a damn fine craft.

Sitting in Cuba,Cayo coco right now with a Cuban cigar and Cuban beer 🏝️ I'm not a smoker, but i call tell you, that cigar doesn't have that disgusting smell of cigarettes. And taste is pretty good and I am First time trying it. *VIVA CUBA*

My ancestors are Cuban and my father actually just has one of the cigars in display dispite the fact he never smoked but he lived besides a cigar factory, he is 53 today and left cuba legally at 26

“I never smoke to excess - that is, I smoke in moderation, only one cigar at a time.” Mark Twain

No one: Cuban cigar boxes: “smoking can kill your unborn child”

I once had the opportunity to share a pair of Cohibas with a friend. One a Dominican Republic stick from the local shop, the other a Cuban from his recent visit to Cuba where he took a factory tour. We passed them back and forth and neither of us could tell the difference. Others might be able to distinguish them, but we couldn’t. So I just find the cigars that appeal to me and don’t worry about origin. Good brands from reputable stores make good cigars.

Its really beautiful to see how Buisness insider makes documentry over various topics and speciality of various region in this world🙏🏻

“95% of Cuban Cigars in America are fake” Bruh moment

You could always get Cuban cigars in Canada and smuggle them into America.

Got garbage bag of fresh green leaves today and yesterday alongside some dry ones on the plants and it's growing wild in the place I got it form am so happy to get em

"Smoking kills, quit now" *Cigars:* Ignore him, smoke me now

Not a smoker, never even tried a cigarette, but I've always somewhat enjoyed the aroma of second hand cigar smoke. Then again, as a kid I always enjoyed the smell of diesel fuel too haha

Here's a tip if you fly out of the country and would like to bring Cuban cigars back with you. I did this on a trip to Norway many years ago. I brought with me a dozen labels from Dominican cigars that I smoke. You also need to pack a glue stick. After purchasing my Cubans, I removed the label and put one of my domestic labels on each cigar. As long as no cigar has the "Habanos" on the label, customs will permit it into the country. You can then replace the original labels is you so desire. Easy-peesy.

Excelente conteúdo. 👏

Despite being anti-capitalist, Castro was good at advertising those cigars.

We all hate smoking. But damn that cigar looks like a work of art.

had a cigar from dominican republic once and it was the smoothest cigar i ever smoked

I have about 300 Cuban cigars in my humidor ! Love collecting them, each time I go to buy I can bring back 50 cigars per person through customs :)

I remember in senior year of highschool a friend of mine invited me to his house(his parents were pretty rich) and he offered me a cigar and me being oblivious took it and smoked it with him like it was normal. I went home and searched the cigar and found out it costs $2000 a stick...

Smokes cigarettes: trash Smokes cigars: he's distinguished

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

I have never wanted, or planned to smoke anything, especially not a cigar, but this video makes me wanna try one

I must say, as someone who isn't interested in smoking nor wants to try it, the cigars look so well-made. I love seeing these videos on certain products that are created with traditional ways, it just looks like it's made with passion and love.

I don’t smoke cigars, I’m healthy! *eats fast food, doesn’t work out, oversleeps, pops pills.

I went last month in to Cuba for vacation. Cuban people are very kind and proud and that’s reflects their cigar work. Can’t wait to have another vacation there.

There are levels to fine handcrafted premium cigar and spirits. Selective boutique manufacturers like Didier Cigars is truly special. I’ve done the pairing with Angels Envy and a Salomon from Didier Cigars. The experience is truly magical and sophisticated.

7:58 My dude just became a cigar for 2 seconds

Skip 10 seconds ads Willingly watch 8 minutes ads

LOVE this so much and this is a business that i WISH FOR

I just love cigars! My father enjoyed it since i was young ..... but very expensive so i very rare to enjoyed it......

"The only country it does not sell cigars to is the united states" "95% of cuban cigars in the united states are counterfeit" I wonder why..

The box of cigarettes: stop smoking stop it now Also the box: high quality cigars smoke imediantly

I’ve smoked cigars for a little bit now and I recently went to Italy for vacation. When I tried a Cuban for the first time the biggest thing I noticed is how smooth they are compared to regular cigars

Awesome content!

I hate smoking 🚬 But this has me wanting to try a fat Cuban cigar 😳

Imagine how flammable that building is.

The production of cigars is wonderful.

A friend of mine got one as a birthday gift a few years ago, and that cigar smelled good enough to eat before he lit it up.

My grandma used to roll her own tobacco I miss her and her stories

RU-vid: wanna know why Cuban Cigars are so expensive? Me:( who legit never even touched a cigarette) I should watch this just in case....

"theres not better, just different" That guy is wise, can appreciate new things and old things.

Cohibas were great! Unfortunately the last time I had one was 16 years ago, in Spain. I'll probably never get the chance ever again.

JFK moments before banning Cuban cigars: _"I gonna do what called the pro gamer's moves"_

"Cigarettes are some tobacco packed by paper ,,where it's one side contains fire and on the other side there is an ass" - Former president of Zimbabwe

I have a couple authentic ones from my grandparents who came from cuba to miami which is where i live but theyre rlly old so we're trying to slowly restore their humidity

Growing up on a tobacco farm in southeastern North Carolina I couldn't help but notice at 6:54 how bad that tobacco field looked. But then when they panned the camera around the inside of that barn and showed those beautiful leaves that were curing.... I thought I was looking at tobacco nirvana. God I bet those are some mighty fine cigars and cigarettes!!!

Package: Smoking causes heart attacks Smoker: Ahh, that's the brand right?

Business insider: the craftsmanship between a Cuban cigar versus new world cigar 19 yo frat boys named Chad: the craftsmanship between a Juul versus SMOK Infinix

Beeing in Malecon - Havana, enjoying the breeze and sounds of authentic Salsa, added with a Cohiba Esplendido, it's the most certain and similar paradise in this world.

this is a great job

so that's why no dads ever leave their child saying they're gonna buy cuban cigars

What JFK did right before banning Cuban cigars in the US is called "Hypocrisy"... but what do you expect from any politicians from any time period.

This video is 2 years old and it has aged extremely well! If they were expensive then, then they are astronomically expensive now with the supply crisis...

Don’t like cigarettes at all but will occasionally smoke a cigar. They do taste great and wanted to get my hands on some authentic Cubans but man are they pricey 🥴

I been smoking cigars for 24yrs and I like to share some cigar wisdom. There is no such thing as a perfect cigar, regardless if it's Cuban or not. A "perfect cigar" is only perfect for you, base on your own preferences. An old saying among cigar connoisseurs, " a cigar is like a woman, each has its own beauty, style, and passion."

Is RU-vid trying to tell me I’m broke because the cigars I just bought aren’t 1000 bucks

Not a smoker but Cuban cigars gotta be one of the most badass-looking things ever made

I Love a Good Creamy Cigar. My Mom (RIP) taught Me a lot about them. She rolled them for her Dad in PR when she was a little girl. She didn't smoke them, but considered them Art and always told Me to stay away from cheap $2 cigars. They smoke bad, taste bad and You shouldn't spend Your priceless time with that!

*Someone smoking* *sees the “quit smoking” sticker on the box* *”I’ll ignore that”*

They’re popular because of Tony Montana

I'm a non smoker but this is super interesting for some reason.

As a kid every 4th of July fireworks we lit was with the cheapest cigars available. They also were very good at keeping the mosquitoes away. My first Cuban cigar was during Operation URGENT FURY in Grenada in 83. Nothing special about them. I'm a fan of Davidoff (zino). The prime tobacco is from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Dominican Republic as well as the best rollers.

Cigars: The top symbol of "badassery" and dominance.

Habanos cigars can't even be shipped to Miami, FL, although it's a city with the highest rate of Cuban immigrants.

Love this cigar video thank

I think even for people that doesn't even smoke somewhat want to taste these beauty

7:46 " Smoking can kill your unborn child " Nice health awareness+marketing strategy 👍

I ain't a smoker but this looks dope and tempting😅

The closest thing to a Puro(as we call them in spanish) is a shot of whisky because of the smokiness and the way both things take years for them to have a special flavour and stuff.

I’ve had one and it was magical nothing compares

I lived in the Dominican Republic and they make some GREAT cigars there.

2:33 my man is trying to have a deep voice so hard but his voice keeps on cracking

I'm a cigar smoker (I smoke about two per month so not enough to cause any harm but enough to enjoy them). I do very much enjoy Cuban cigars and always try to pick up a few when out of the country (you can own them here in the United States but it is still not legal to sell/purchase them here). However, Dominican tobacco is just as good.

My brother lives in Norway. I live in Vietnam. During a visit to Vietnam when he was 17 and I was 16, we bought a pack of 5 cigars. It took us 1 day to consume 1 cigar, super strong and last so long. The other 4 we gifted elders because cigar was too much for us at that time. Hahaha

Me who doesn't even smoke: *Hmm.... Interesting*

I bought it, it cost just a few bucks I bought it in Red dead redemption 2

Basic economics. 1) Low supply 2) High demand generated by excellent marketing and reputation held over from when Cuba cornered the maket

Michell Orchant makes me remember the stories about the 50's dostors when used to recip cigars because was a healty way to expand the lungs, the sugar wasn't bad for kids and even were better in breakfast or than CO2 didn't was the cause of climate chage.

I was an occasional cigar smoker many years ago, and have had the pleasure of smoking two Cuban made cigars in the span of 10 years. The aspects that made those experiences memorable: *_The smoothness of the smoke from the first puff to the last._* Why so remarkable? The lowest priced run-of-the-mill packaged cigars sold by retailers, such as at grocery stores, those cigars have a tolerable taste with the first couple of puffs; but the taste, or flavor, of the cigar gets harsher the longer the smoking time is done with that cigar. I refer to the flavor harshness as a *bite* to the cigar's tobacco smoke; which is most pronounced on the tongue, with that *bite* to the tongue getting nastier as the cigar gets down to the last two inches. Whereas, with the two Cuban cigars I smoked, the flavor was remarkably smooth from the first puff to the last; even down to the last inch. Only the heat of the burning tobacco prevented me from smoking it down to the last half-inch. I was astounded at the lack of *bite* with those Cuban cigars. *_Storage of the Cuban cigars was very forgivable._* Cigars that dry out are brittle and are nasty tasting to smoke, which is a reason why cigar humidors are used to preserve the integrity of premium cigars; as cigar storage with a level of humidity keeps the tobacco wrapper intact and provides a smooth flavor with smoking. With the Cuban cigars I had, they were given to me in plastic sandwich bags; not ideal for proper storage, and stayed in the bags for at least six months before smoking. When I extracted the cigars from the bags, the tobacco wrapper stayed intact, and both cigars smoked smoothly from first puff to last. Those two Cuban cigar smoking experiences made a believer out of me of why the cigars from Cuba are so highly touted and coveted.

I don't even smoke and I want a set of them to collect. 😅

I want to walk through one of those fermentation warehouses Just for the aroma.

Never smoked a Cuban cigar but this makes me wanna start

Seeing this makes me want to smoke a Cuban cigar and I don't even smoke.

Smoking a Cuban Cigar automatically you feel like Big Bada$$ Boss 😂

Would like to see a video on what the sizes are and if they make a difference to the cigar

Very, very, very interesting.

It's interesting even tho im probably never going to smoke
