    HI KIrby, as a Cuban born, that live in Cuba for 21 years, now in NY, I am delighted to see these videos. I worked in the tobacco fields when I was younger, and I know how tedious the process is from harvesting to rolling. It’s 100% true that the entire process is manual as the tobacco leaf go from the filed to a big wooden house where the leaf get attached to a big stick and stay there for at least 45 days. Today everything is so modernized and produce so fast in every industry in the world that taste and quality is loss in the process. I am happy to see that the Cuban cigars have not fall pray of the modernized world. Can’t wait to see the other videos of you in Cuba and the cigars you tasted. I hope you enjoyed Cuba and hopefully we can meet each other the week of February 26 in Havana. Cheers!

      @@kirbyallison Might want to edit that statement Kirby, kind of sounds like you'd prefer Cuba to stay a communist state for the sake of the cigars at the expense of the quality of life for the people that live there. Political opinion is what ended communism in Russia, but then again that's just vodka and that's produced world wide so who cares.... Did you move to Texas or were you raised there? Being a native Texan myself I'd expect a bit more fire than compliance. Nothing wrong with being a gentleman, but when it's time to be a man the "gentle" has to drop off for a bit.

Also, when the cigars are more important than the people to a country there’s an issue, just saying….

    I was able to travel to Havana through a local travel agency, Cuba Executive Travel, Inc. out of Apollo Beach, Florida (No affiliation). They take care of all the details for your trip.

      Great! Such a beautiful and interesting place to visit. I feel that it’s important for Americans to visit Cuba to better understand the spirit of the Cuban people.

    Kirby:, the Cuban cigar industry, the UK purveyors, the various factors in the upscale life industries should be paying you a good sum for all that free exposure!

      I’m still waiting for that day! 😅 Until then, I’ll just take an occasional free cigar…

    I've been sitting on a question since I watched your first video featuring cigars. I fully do not expect an answer and I suspect you know what the question is. How do these lovely sticks find their way back home to you in Texas?

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Someone else will have to answer that question… 😅

    How many Cuban government officials were with you while you were filming/visiting? Remember people, this is a communist country and despite the opulence shown here. Outside of popular occasions to visit the cigar shops are near empty and lines for food are long. I hope Kirby can find it in himself the courage at the end of this series to speak of what was not allowed to go "on record" and to give an honest account of the state of Cuba. The truth needs to be known.

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't think we had the opportunity to film with any of them... not important enough, I guess...

      Sometimes it’s just about cigars, boss. Not everyone needs to have a stellar stance on every “issue”.

    The American embargo on Cuba shows how asinine many politicians are. End the embargo now.

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Couldn't agree more. The only people that suffer because of the Embargo at the people of Cuba. And it is immoral to try to force political change by starving people.

    Kirby, glad you corrected the rear brim of your hat at the end - its not usual etiquette to fold down the rear (as you would not raise the collar of your jacket), but you note that it makes the hat sit lower you your head too, as it influences the way the leather sits - 0.25mm can change the way the hat sits on the head - it looked too large from the front with the brim down, a pity for a custom Optimo - of course on can roll up sleeves and raise the collar on a custom jacket, but not when worn with a tie and custom leather shoes.

      With the brim down, the only missing was a magnifying glass.

    • @kirbyallison

      Yeah. Too bad about the back. Sad nobody mentioned it because it definitely isn’t a great look.

    The only complaint can be is that each episode is only 30 mins and not 120. A peek behind the scenes vlog with you and your guys would be cool too Mr Allison, where are you staying, how are you getting round? If you are not travelling by motorcycle taxi while smoking a double corona one will be disappointed!

      And I can assure you that the BEST is still yet to come! The content is so good that I wish that I could release it all at once so that everyone could just bing watch it in one day! Even after having watched these videos countless times in the editing and proofing process, I still find myself excited to see them publish!
