Hi Tom, top-notch video as always, you're a true gentleman. I especially admire the episodes with the Sahakians when you film with the Rake Magazine. Please continue sharing awesome cigar content, cheers!
Just two corrections… Behike’s do not have Volado in them. The blend consists of Seco, Viso Ligero and Medio tiempo. And rhere is actually an extremely rare Behike 58 that Habanos. S.A. put out for a very select few people to try.
I think the most special cigar I own, insofar as it's the one that I cannot (as yet) bring myself to smoke, is one last 1999 ERDM Tainos. For my money, it's the finest Churchill ever to come from Cuba and it still stings that they discontinued it.
I don’t understand how they can be a good investment if it’s illegal to sell them outside of licensed establishments and auction houses won’t touch them unless you have a full unopened box.
It’s very rare to find a box that is entirely unopened. Even at the importers, they cut the stickers to open the boxes so they can inspect the cigars and make sure they are up to standard. I’ve seen it in action.
This is an interesting video. You speak about cigars being a collectible asset class like wine, but on what platform can they be sold? You mentioned some of the prices, but how can the average person who has collectible cigars in their humidor liquidate them and turn them into cash?
"hurricanes and stuff"..lol.Over the past year, I've managed to fill a dedicated humidor with 60 Opus X perfectos (I'm in Ireland).My mate in America said it cost him about 30% more over there.
yeah, as a retired American guy spending $750.00 a month on a daily $25.00 premium cigar isnt possible. my few premium cigars ( padron 1926 and 1964) are a once or twice a month treat for me. my everyday go to stogie is the Padron 1000,2000,4000,5000. etc
@@pornets understand that they are made to celebrate Mr Padron`s birthday. in 2002. said to be rolled by one man with expert ability. great cigar as all padron`s.
After the very bad price increasement of Cuban cigars, after the Chinese holding bought habanos s.a. I’m not longer interested in this wannabe quality overpriced sticks. The Benchmark is set by Davidoff. The Cubans got a lot of work to do to come there beside the „myths“ about Cubans cigars.
Tom, you’re a north star in the sartorial heavens. Please keep this content coming!
What an interesting fact about the behike constructed of 4 leafs, thanks you for the insightful videos. i always look forward to them.

Bro... top 5 of your daily cigar.. not your rare cigar...

These are your most rare/expensive cigars. I thought it will be your top 5 choice and the reasons why you picked them.

I hope you’re bringing some of these to the next reunion 😅
Great video, please make more videos about cigars since the community Is lacking cigar videographers!
😚💨👌
Nice video
Excellent list, being a Cuban purist am iffy about the last piece, however the choice redeem it being an Opus X. Cheers sir

there are plenty of online and real world auction sites plus a ready and waiting community connecting in various ways both online and off
@@HabanosChris some examples would be helpful. Thanks.
I see opux x at my local cigar bar every 5-7 months I've had the pleasure of smoking 3 different types of them

650 for dried leaves 😂😂😂😂😂 I guess I’ll stick to my 10 sticks and call it good.
650£ a stick😱
opinion's are like a-holes everyone has one, my opinion is Padron 1926 or Padron 1964.
😂 funny comment, great cigars. My favourite Padron is the Exclusivo in Maduro.
1926 is 1 of the king.... especially 80th
