Any video with Mr Sahakian is a good video. The way that one can view a half-dozen or so of his interviews and tip/guide videos, and he rarely repeats himself. He has amazing knowledge and a deep understanding of his craft.
Your channel randomly showed up on my newsfeed. And the only reason why i watched this was because of 1- Mr.Sahakians and 2- Mr.Sahakians! Keep up the great content with your video production! Love from New York! ❤️🇺🇸
I am not a smoker, never even have seen anyone around me smoking a Cigar but this guy Eddie, his attire, personality has impressed me a lot... If i ever tried smoking a cigar, that would definitely because of this handsome man..
Eddie, thank you so much for your fantastically articulate, informative and classy posts. I’ve been an avid viewer (only recently) of your TH-cam posts with Kirby Allison. It has been 27 Years since I have indulged, but feel it is time to re-engage, and I would love to do so with my 20 year old son. Funnily enough my daughter & i were walking down Jermyn street several Saturdays ago when we saw your Dad (who cut a Fantastic figure) popping into the shop. So I would love to pop into visit you, and be advised by yourself how to proceed
This shop is frequented by a certain father son duo that I miss greatly. This was a fabulous video. I'm sure the duo is still fighting the virus one corona at a time .
Wonderful video! I love how he explains how to choose the perfect cigar for the occasion and almost pleads with you to get one, even though the boxes in the back all say “smoking kills - quit now” haha!
Mr. Sahakian has been reliably talking me to sleep every night what a joy. I look forward to going to bed knowing he'll be chatting a2ay in the background
My first cigar was a Davidoff Platella, what a joy, so smooth so crisp and the different blend of flavours from start to finish are why you'd never choose anything but a davidoff
Great video. Glad I randomly bumped into it. Just wondering, I noticed that most of the cigars in Britain tend to be on the mild side. Are there any full strength brands there? Such as Black Works/Black Label?
I have that same problem. That being said, picking a selection of five or six and then enjoying each one is part of the experience. A lot of the time I enjoy each one but eighty-five percent of those I won't choose them again for one reason or another. The ones that do make my cut go into my cigar scrap book. I paste the rings of those cigars I really enjoy into a nice scrap book. It's all good fun really!
Embrace and enjoy the journey!! I’ve struggled (still do) trying to figure out the right smoke for me. I’ve settled on the Davidoff Grand Cru Robusto. For me it’s worth the price. I’ve also found so much more goes into the cigar experience. Time, the event, the people, proper storage, proper lighting and did I mention time….not once have I had a pleasurable experience when time was rushed.
The last part. Going to a physical store is half the experience. Smelling the humidor and see the cigar in person before you choose it. It's like being a kid and going to the candy shop. You don't order candy online. You walk to a store and smell that suggary smell and see all the colors of the candy. I only shop online if there is a cigar I can't find in a physical store, and I really want it.
The cigar is inexorably tied to imagery and symbolism. No cigar merchant will do anything to wrest those impressions from you. Like it or not, it is after all the gateway to the business for the vast majority. However, you can't smoke imagery and symbolism, and understanding that is how you separate the tourist from the aficionado. Only when the merchant recognizes you to belong in the latter category, and only when they themselves are the same, will you have a chance to get the score on this very mysterious product. And there's no way of getting there without years of study, sampling and keeping cigars of all kinds. Despite Sahakian's well meant attempts to give the new customer some reasons to pull the trigger on a purchase here, the fact is that a new smoker will remain clueless. Therefore, my advice is: Ask the merchant for a regular production cigar that smokes good right now. If they want more information, be completely honest with them. Don't be embarrassed and don't try and fool them into thinking you know what you're doing. Most of the details beyond the answer to this simple question, are not that important in the sense that you will be forced to discover them by smoking cigars to find your preference anyway and there's no way around this. But if the merchant is honest and knowledgeable (and likes you), he or she will know what cigars that are on the shelf smokes good right now, and you simply cannot get better information than that.
Its so sad, and ridiculous that each box needs a warning that "smoking kills". There should just be on sign somewhere in the room. I mean, we are all adults, not everyone is ADDICTED to cigars so there is no need to "quit"; many cigar smokers enjoy a cigar on occasion.
Man just be glad you dont live in Canada. My heart breaks a little every time I buy now, because they've criminalized the beautiful art on the boxes and paper rings. It's all communist grey and plain lettering. No pictures. No character. I hate what they've done with my country... this is just a small sample, a footstep, on our journey to socialism.
@@trequor Those who have suffered under socialism would be delighted to hear your woes of cigarette packet art, and how it ensues a cascade into socialism. Oh boo hoo
@@josephrees7100 You're missing the point... Your government dictating that you can not look at colourful artistically designed boxes and labels because they are an affront to your health and safety is tyranny.
I love this guy but it's too much cigar myth than fact. E g., Nicotine does not decrease in a cigar over time. It is a stable molecule that does not break down other than in your body.
Most people would say, “Smell the cigar.”
Eddie Sahakian: “Investigate the aroma.” LEGEND!!!
Eddie is literally the Bob Ross of the cigar industry. His voice is so soothing.
This, this exactly is what ive been trying to think of and you said it perfect! Eddie could sell me anything and id just be nodding and smiling
he's a salesman
ive been thinking the same thing. he's so relaxing to listen to, i need some cigar asmr from him for sure
/eddievoice Very well sad. Your compliment is most accurate.
@@cdreyes81 😂 I can literally hear him saying that 😂
Any video with Mr Sahakian is a good video.

A great, well-spoken presentation.
I hope to meet Mr Sahakian one day and possibly share a cigar with him and his father. The stories would be wonderful to hear in person. Great people

Thanks for your support!
A great, well-spoken presentation. I first saw Eddie on Kirby Allison’s channel.
I was excited to discover a cigar shop somewhat near me in the middle of Ohio, USA stocks some Davidoff cigars. Picked one up this weekend to try.
Any content with Eddie is top content!
This guy is incredible. The passion he holds for cigars shines through on every word.
The way he pronounces 'cigar' never gets old. Love this guy.

So much to know about cigar smoking and that’s the fun of being a smoker. I’ve been learning since my first cigar 55 yrs ago. 🤠🇺🇸
This shop is frequented by a certain father son duo that I miss greatly. This was a fabulous video. I'm sure the duo is still fighting the virus one corona at a time .
I remember watching cigar videos since I was 14. 7 years later, now 21, bought my first Davidoff 💪🏽
i found out about Eddie from Kirby's video, 2 days ago, his voice is soothing, ive literally watched every single recommended video of him.
Great video. Eddie is a true gentleman. Enjoy every video I've seen that features him. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Expert at his highest level, just excellent my friend.
Thank you Eddie for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Outstanding video eddie sahakian as usual dressed perfectly and blessed with fine manners. 💚💚👍👍
Thank you!
Wonderful video! I love how he explains how to choose the perfect cigar for the occasion and almost pleads with you to get one, even though the boxes in the back all say “smoking kills - quit now” haha!
I like the cigars in the metal tubes,
I find that the tubes trap in the flavours and freshness in the cigar for longer.
The Grand Cru Robusto has been a recent favorite of mine, with smooth yet rich flavor profile, and just the right size for about any occasion
great video! looks like this channel is going to do very well. Keep up the quality content.
Thanks, will do!
Eddie միշտ հպարտ ենք։ best of luck to you and your endeavors!

You are smooth....love the videos.

Feel free to visit our website (www.nextcigar.com)for a wide range of cigars from Cuban and the New World!
You know when people asked who is someone dead or alive you’d have dinner with…I’d certainly would choose Eddie as long we can smoke together
That is a beautiful suit
Eddie, I hope to have the absolute pleasure of meeting you one day
Given one survives the initial strike what would he suggest to smoke at the start of Red Dawn minus of course weed but that comes later....
Davidoff Winston Churchill "The late hour"
That's a fine suit my good sir
Wonderful video, but can’t help but notice those prices at 3:25.
Eddie reminds me a lot of Marco Pierre white, but with cigars.
Wow great channel!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Picking cigars is a hard choice. I like smooth and mild cigars. I always end up with the opposite.
I have that same problem. That being said, picking a selection of five or six and then enjoying each one is part of the experience. A lot of the time I enjoy each one but eighty-five percent of those I won't choose them again for one reason or another.
The ones that do make my cut go into my cigar scrap book. I paste the rings of those cigars I really enjoy into a nice scrap book. It's all good fun really!

Didnt talk price ranges
Can't wait to smoke my first one day.
I always find blunts are great.
Are you related to Michael Imperioli?
😂
I like La Paz cigars
1:29 "visually, the eyes are the first and most important introduction to the cigar". Indeed sir, because i can't SEE with my ears very well...
Editor pls add drop shadow to the text ty
Kirby Allison brought me here
Never smoked a day in my life but this dude could sell water to a whale

£38 for a single Grand Cru Robusto and £138 for a pack of 4? Wow, glad I don’t live in England 🤣. A pack of 4 here in the US is right at £80

Eddie, you are always dressed like a million bucks, but why do you wear your tie so high?
Cigars for the pretentious! 🤑🤑🤑
Please no more of that wobbly piano music
