    This is like a spiritual ceremony for them. From the way they talk about it all the way down to how they handle the tools used. Watching how delicate they are with the tools used placing them down so gently and back in place from where they came from. It reminds me of watching an East Asian tea ceremony(Chado, Chadao, or Dado)which can take hours sometimes. Even shows the 4 philosophies of Harmony, Respect, Purity, and Tranquility. The precision/delicacy of each movement and time preparing something that normally takes others seconds. I could watch stuff like this all day.

    Eddie and Edward Sahakian are true aficionados, embodying an unparalleled elegance and knowledge in the world of cigars. Their video showcasing the art of lighting a cigar not only educates but exudes a sense of timeless sophistication akin to the appreciation of fine wine. Watching their demonstration, I found myself captivated and inspired to indulge in a moment of luxury.
    I had to pull out my father's Regius Double Corona and pairing it with a vintage 1974 Chateau Mouton Rothschild I loved both because this video resonates with the essence of indulgence and refinement. The setting of my fire, complemented by a bearskin rug, evokes a scene of opulence and tranquility, enhanced by the anticipation of my wife's eventual company. It's a testament to the atmosphere that such moments create, evoking a sense of celebration and intimacy.
    Eddie and Edward Sahakian, much like Kirby Allison, possess a rare ability to bring sophistication and expertise to a wider audience. Their presence on your channel not only elevates the understanding of cigar culture but also invites individuals to immerse themselves in the art of savoring life's finer pleasures.
    The elegance exuded by these guests undoubtedly adds a layer of richness to the experience. It's more than just the act of lighting a cigar; it's a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and the art of leisure. Your tribute to their guidance and your immersive experience with your father's cigar and a revered wine speaks volumes about the allure and magic these moments can hold.
    Here's to the timeless essence of your channel, the savoir-faire of Eddie and Edward Sahakian, and the touch of sophistication brought forth by Kirby Allison. Cheers to the moments that allow us to savor life's finer offerings. Cheers.....
