Greetings from Barbados, in the last 2 years i have been put on to your INCH No.62 Maduro. It is indeed an absolutely pleasing cigar every time. I have been smoking cigars for the last 25 years and have always enjoyed the Robusta size and always Maduro. I would love to hear Ernesto's take on smoking a cigar with the ring on or ring removed. cant wait for the Covid scene to level out so I can return to Miami and visit E.P. CARRILLO.
Born and raised around cigar smokers in Cuba, during my high school years I was send to work in those tabaco vegas, and I NEVER EVER, EVER saw those cigar smokers doing anything like that, they just bite off the end of their cigar, spitting out whatever they got in their mouth and light them up with a freaking match and go to town.
E.P. Carrillo cigars are one of my favorite brands. I especially enjoy the Pledge and La Historia. Thank you for making the experience more personal through your videos.
I don’t think EPC has never made a cigar I didn’t like , it’s no surprise they win cigar of the year , year after year , the dude is absolutely a master
Congrats on Pledge!!! Had my first late 2020. Love at first draw. CA got this one right. Been a huge La Historia fan, but my pallette changed. Pledge and Encore now my favs. Also smoking a lot of New Wave Reserva w/morning coffee. EPC is one of only a handful of brands w/solid construction. Never have draw or burn issues. That means a lot.
I'm starting next week. Why? Cuz I already do what I do, but but next week I'll get a paycheck and register my business. I'll keep working my job for a bit, but also build my business. The plan is to go all in when I can just feed myself, so I can focus on my thing.
For me, longer sit down with friends a Churchill. When I’m just by myself a Corona will do. Quick on the go have a 15-20 minutes I always carry a tin of cigarillos.
Hey David, I watched your youtube video from June 8th and it was very helpful, thank you! I have one quick question following up on the "throat" version of the retrohale. When I smoke a cigar I do not inhale but I do let the smoke touch the back of my throat and it burns/tingles a little bit before I exhale or retrohale. Is that bad? I don’t want to mess with inhaling and the health risks associated with that. Thoughts? Thank you for your time!

@@nebloffpot3092 I’m not a doctor, but I’ll take a stab at that. I would offer that you are far-less likely to have cumulative lung-related damage if you puff a cigar to the back of the throat - retrohale or not. I think the secret if there is one, is to focus on your frequency and hygiene. Do you have a bunch of other vices or pre-existing conditions? If not, then perhaps you can allow yourself to enjoy cigars more than otherwise. At the end of the day, cigars are not ‘biologically’ good for you, but they can be ‘cognitively’ wonderful for you. There’s no perfect way to navigate that conversation, but I’ll say that cigars are for responsible and self-respecting adults, period. If you meet that criteria, I think a retrohale should be the least of your worries. Take care.
Okay. I know how to cut, hold and light a cigar. So here's my 2 cents on how to smoke it. I draw a small amount of smoke into my mouth (about half of what is common with most smokers). I then open my mouth and drop my jaw to pull in air to dilute the smoke. Then I slowly push the diluted smoke out to swirl and dilute even further in front of my face while (and this is important) very slowly inhaling in through my nose. Inhaling too fast will cause a burning sensation and ruin the experience. Done right gives a fullness to the flavor for maximum enjoyment. And this doesn't involve lot of smoke. When I exhale, hardly any smoke can be seen. This is best done indoors or anywhere that has no breeze. I've been doing this for many years and I know of no other way to enjoy a good cigar as this. Take it for what it's worth. Enjoy
When you drop ash, best way to clean is to wet your finger and touch the ash with the wetness, it will allow you to lift the whole thing without creating a mass spreading it across the table.
I never inhale a cigar that's a good way to die! And I can't retrohale a cigar because it hurts my nasal passages, and I smoke very mild cigars. I am very happy to bring the smoke in my mouth and let it tickle my tonsils and gently exhale it. We all have our own ways to enjoy a cigar...
The retrohale, while maybe not super pleasant the exact moment you exhale, does provide a very string aftertaste. What I mean, is, the act of exhaling itself kind of burns and is unpleasant, but you can't taste ALL the flavors in the few seconds after.... Very detailed flavors
Hey guys, I think the name of the video is incorrect. I saw all this video and the only thing I heard is "I personally do this or that " but not the "what is the actual correct way to do it". I agree every individual will do it as they prefer but, how is the actual/correct way to do it ?.
Appreciate the tips... I do have to ask.... youre holding a cigar.... its lit.... as youre explaining the two ways to retro-hale...why not just show us after explaining lol
I quit smoking cigarettes 13 years ago and I had my first cigar ever one year ago at a golf outing and decided that I would treat myself only when playing an expensive round of golf with friends maybe twice a year and I have no craving besides that
I retired as a none smoker at age 50 and began smoking cigars. A doctor convinced me to quit cigars. At age 68 I got cancer. After months & months of daily radiation treatments I beat cancer. I want to smoke cigars but cannot risk it. There are foods I love but cannot risk it. There are so many things in our environment that cause cancers. What’s a person to do??
Well, not an ice _cube_ (far too much) but an ice *chip* equivalent to ~2 to 4 drops of water (some just use drops, I prefer the ice chip) in a *single malt* . An entire cube, even a small one, throws the whole balance, body and robustness off. On occasion I drink a blended scotch, I prefer it on the rocks (a few), especially on a warm day out on the deck but this is with a lower quality scotch. I will drink a high-quality blended scotch straight and will add a bit more water (or larger chip) than a single malt as they usually don't have as much of what adding the little water helps to promote (see below). If what you meant as "a great scotch" being a single malt (there are 'great' blends, of course) go with the few drops of water or small chip of ice. I did note the comment below about not adding an ice cube so I responded to him with this explanation. Explanation: During the burning of the barrels, the lignin in the wood will go through pyrolysis (burning in the absence of oxygen) resulting in the creation of a methoxy-phenolic compound called *guaiacol* which gives whiskies (and coffees) that smoky flavour (and aroma). But guaiaol, a viscous oily compound, binds to alcohol tightly. The little bit of water added helps to separate the guaiacol and alcohol molecules as both are weakly hydrophobic (repellent to water). The separation of the two different molecules releases more aroma and flavour, especially as you swirl the scotch. Furthermore, the initial addition of the water breaks the tight surface tension; hence, 'opening up' the release of both alcohol and guaiacol (smokiness) aromas into the air, allowing for greater olfactory stimulation. Plus, when the water separates the guaiacol from the alcohol, the guaiacol tends to go to the surface thus increasing the aromas given by the guaiacol. As mentioned, I prefer the ice chip because it releases the water better throughout the glass as I swirl it as it melts instead of the initial single location where water drops land. It works for all high-alcohol spirits that use burned barrels to age and flavour. My wife and I briefly joined a single malt society (we both are from culturally Scottish families - bagpiping, haggis, Rabbie Burns Day, etc. and of course single malt scotch) that my brother has been a member for ~15 years when we moved back to Canada from closing out or respective careers in the U.S.. We then moved to a somewhat distant small community to enjoy our retirement (whatever that means). We rarely make the 3 or 5-hour drive to attend meetings and tastings. But we learned that in the society while we were there (as well as through my brother before we joined). Give the ice chip or drops of water a try in a single malt - single malt is a go-to with our cigars (my wife is a daily cigar smoker and single malt enthusiast as well - I think it's Scottish genetics).
@@jessyhavron2548 Ulysses S Grant and Babe Ruth both got throat cancer from inner tubes. Groucho Marx, Milton Berle and Ernie Kovacs died in other ways.
Smoke at a reasonable pace. Some smoke quick and some smoke slow. I recommend taking a puff every min or 2. Let the smoke into your mouth and let it roll around your tongue and exhale. Do in INHALE! You will pay for it! But enjoy the flavor the cigar offers. Research is key, ask someone who has smoked cigars for years! 🥃💨
I am surprised that there has been no discussion on WHAT to light the cigar with ... I thought that lighting a cigar with a lighter was taboo, that a cigar should only be lit with a match, waiting for the flame to pass the sulphur, so that the burning wood with the moisture is more in sync with the leaf, rather than petrol or other fuels... Discuss? ...Great video though! ...

To each their own. Whichever way you enjoy smoking a cigar most is the right way. If you enjoy inhaling a cigar, then by all means do it. If you enjoy it just being in your mouth without inhaling, then go for it.
This is easier said than done. You need to pull a mouthful of smoke into your moth, use your lips to create a circle and then use your tongue to push air through the center of the circle that your lips have created. It is a light push but not too light, it needs enough power to push out the smoke ring from your mouth. Another issue is the air in the room must be rather still since the smoke ring breaks down easily in moving air. Lastly practice makes perfect and I suggest asking someone who knows how to do this to help you practice and teach you in the process. Good Luck and hopefully you do this with our great cigars.
Great comment I have been smoking both Pipes and cigars since 1970 til I kick the bucket hope not too soon and I have watched both cigar rules and pipe smoking rules and I don't pay attention to any rule I do it my way and learned over the many years how to smoke
The old pros keep it between their teeth. It never comes out of their mouth. They talk with it in their mouth. When I was a kid in the 50's and 60's I would go in the bank with my dad to talk to the President about getting a loan and I noticed his cigar was just an extension of his face. Lol!
Cigars come in all shapes and sizes for a reason. The reason for this is both time and the amount of heat/flavor you enjoy. Smoke what you enjoy, what you love and do not let anyone make you feel any other way than a person smoking and enjoying a fine cigar. As a side note smaller cigars were the cigar in fashion for many more years than the current fad of the large big ring gauge of today, which you may not know was started in many ways by our Master Blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. Some say he is the creator of making big ring cigars as fashionable as they are today.
I'm sorry but it is so weird to me to see a woman smoke a cigar. I find it soo unattractive. Maybe it's because I associate cigar with masculinity and I love feminine women. Besides the cigar she looks feminine, but man her putting that in her mouth is such a turn off for me. How about you guys? What are your thoughts on this? Would smoke a cigar with your girlfriend or wife?
women don’t care about what you find attractive 😂 we do not exist for your pleasure or aesthetic enjoyment. im sure women find you unattractive no matter what you do
I smoke cigars and I am a married woman. Stick to what you like. Your not looking for a cigar smoking woman. That is perfectly fine. A woman who is smoking a cigar is not trying to pick up a man. We are not trying to be attractive. We are trying to enjoy our cigar. If that is such a red flag, then don't approach us. We are not the woman for you. Let just enjoy our cigars and take in moment.
Glamorizing cigar smoking and its lifestyle is not cool! Even though cigar smoke is not inhaled, it carries the risks of getting lung diseases and cancers.
Cigar producers will pay these rating companies to promote their cigars. I promise, just because it's #1 rated, doesn't mean it's gonna blow you away. You have to find what kind of cigar fits you. And you have to smoke it correctly...i.e. full stomach.
@@cvdavillain487 unfortunately my body has become overly sensitive to nicotine so I don't anymore BUT when I did, I loved the "My father" cigar by Don pepin. But I also really like "crux". The founder owns a local cigar shop here and he's spent years going down to Nicaragua and Panama researching and making a really good cigar. Check it out sometime
The people of Britain: can they each use their own internal biology's American Republican Party matrixes, in order to download into their minds the scenario, in which the ultra-glamorous mansion woman smokes a cigar in her mansion swimming pool?
Never inhale a cigar. Heard it all before. While smoking our cigars we are inhaling. Yes we are! We want to smell our own cigar. We want to smell a cigar smoked by someone else. Where there is fire and aroma there is smoke. Through the nostrils or mouth it all goes to the lungs.

Been smoking cigars about 5-6 years now. I absolutely love them. I figured I'd watch this video for some some pointers I may not know.
Thanks for the video,I have been enjoying cigars for 49 years.
What a great advices! If you want a mild cigar - get a mild cigar! If you don't have time, smoke small cigar. Genius! Thanks for sharing.
I'm not a cigar person I've never smoked one so I have zero interest on this topic, but this video and the conversation I really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much!
Greetings from Barbados, in the last 2 years i have been put on to your INCH No.62 Maduro. It is indeed an absolutely pleasing cigar every time. I have been smoking cigars for the last 25 years and have always enjoyed the Robusta size and always Maduro.

Every EP Carrillo i have smoked ,i absolutely love!❤️
Pledge, Encore AND La Historia are Excellent.
The painting in the background is awesome
Was thinking the same
Inhaling a cigar is like touching a hot stove. Nobody does it twice!
🤣

Still causes second hand smoke and is unhealthy.

You really love Rocky Patel. That’s awesome. Thank you for watching our channel.
To each their own. Whichever way you enjoy smoking a cigar most is the right way. If you enjoy inhaling a cigar, then by all means do it. If you enjoy it just being in your mouth without inhaling, then go for it.
Great
you light one end and puff on the other It is rocket science.
Good way to put it 😀
try it with joint hahaaha

I don’t smoke it, I puff 💨 it!
How do you puff out smoke rings with a Cigar?
This is easier said than done. You need to pull a mouthful of smoke into your moth, use your lips to create a circle and then use your tongue to push air through the center of the circle that your lips have created. It is a light push but not too light, it needs enough power to push out the smoke ring from your mouth. Another issue is the air in the room must be rather still since the smoke ring breaks down easily in moving air. Lastly practice makes perfect and I suggest asking someone who knows how to do this to help you practice and teach you in the process. Good Luck and hopefully you do this with our great cigars.
@@EPCarrilloCigars Thanks for the info I will start practicing thanks! 😁
There are no rules. Stop making rules. Don't be a cigar rule snob. 😃
There are snobs in EVERY hobby, profession, recreational activity.
Exactly
Great comment I have been smoking both Pipes and cigars since 1970 til I kick the bucket hope not too soon and I have watched both cigar rules and pipe smoking rules and I don't pay attention to any rule I do it my way and learned over the many years how to smoke
we use to say when i smoke segars: i am not so rich do not inhale. 😂😂😂
It’s not Rocket Surgery.
Educate yourselves and watch the master Eddie Sahakian at work at Davidoff.
4:58 "pause"
The old pros keep it between their teeth. It never comes out of their mouth. They talk with it in their mouth. When I was a kid in the 50's and 60's I would go in the bank with my dad to talk to the President about getting a loan and I noticed his cigar was just an extension of his face. Lol!
How can a man smoke a petite corona at a cigar lounge and not look feminine?
Asking for for a friend
Cigars come in all shapes and sizes for a reason. The reason for this is both time and the amount of heat/flavor you enjoy. Smoke what you enjoy, what you love and do not let anyone make you feel any other way than a person smoking and enjoying a fine cigar. As a side note smaller cigars were the cigar in fashion for many more years than the current fad of the large big ring gauge of today, which you may not know was started in many ways by our Master Blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. Some say he is the creator of making big ring cigars as fashionable as they are today.
Everytime she smokes her cigar the camera immediately turns to the man. I want to see her not him.
I'm sorry but it is so weird to me to see a woman smoke a cigar. I find it soo unattractive. Maybe it's because I associate cigar with masculinity and I love feminine women. Besides the cigar she looks feminine, but man her putting that in her mouth is such a turn off for me.
How about you guys? What are your thoughts on this? Would smoke a cigar with your girlfriend or wife?
I love women that are passionate about something
women don’t care about what you find attractive 😂 we do not exist for your pleasure or aesthetic enjoyment. im sure women find you unattractive no matter what you do
I smoke cigars and I am a married woman. Stick to what you like. Your not looking for a cigar smoking woman. That is perfectly fine. A woman who is smoking a cigar is not trying to pick up a man. We are not trying to be attractive. We are trying to enjoy our cigar. If that is such a red flag, then don't approach us. We are not the woman for you. Let just enjoy our cigars and take in moment.
@@samoneleblanc7282 great comment Samone
Glamorizing cigar smoking and its lifestyle is not cool!
Even though cigar smoke is not inhaled, it carries the risks of getting lung diseases and cancers.
Why would I want to these things are worse than cigarettes
Cigar producers will pay these rating companies to promote their cigars. I promise, just because it's #1 rated, doesn't mean it's gonna blow you away. You have to find what kind of cigar fits you. And you have to smoke it correctly...i.e. full stomach.

@@mackersun what’s your favorite cigar?
@@cvdavillain487 unfortunately my body has become overly sensitive to nicotine so I don't anymore BUT when I did, I loved the "My father" cigar by Don pepin. But I also really like "crux". The founder owns a local cigar shop here and he's spent years going down to Nicaragua and Panama researching and making a really good cigar. Check it out sometime
@@cvdavillain487 what's yours??

Because it's good for the environment

Thanks Norma for your feedback
The people of Britain: can they each use their own internal biology's American Republican Party matrixes, in order to download into their minds the scenario, in which the ultra-glamorous mansion woman smokes a cigar in her mansion swimming pool?
My Dad would still be here if it wasn't for cigars, emphysema Kills
My next vlog will be " How to get cancer" Should be a smash hit. 😆
Step one: you don't. Thank me later
I came here for the cigar not how well your company is doing 👎
Quit smoking! Your lungs will thank you later!
Nobody inhales cigars our lungs are fine thanks for your concern not
You don't inhale cigars
Never inhale a cigar. Heard it all before. While smoking our cigars we are inhaling. Yes we are! We want to smell our own cigar. We want to smell a cigar smoked by someone else. Where there is fire and aroma there is smoke. Through the nostrils or mouth it all goes to the lungs.
