    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.

In this case, as a Latin American, glad he talked about the beauty of Cuba and also helps the economies. Also he uses great cameras, cameramen, helpers, interpreters, etc, creating great videos.

    I am envious of your phrase: "Quality, craftsmanship and tradition" It's the PERFECT phrase to sum up what most gentlemen would be into. And it's the prefect phrase to summaries your entire channel. There simply isn 't much room for other aspiring commentators to manoeuvre into this space after that eloquent summary. The phrase is brilliant - a stroke of genius, in fact.

    Kirby, I watch your videos because of their uniqueness and high production value. I don’t smoke, consume alcohol or like wearing suits and all that stuff (no offense😅). I enjoy your videos nonetheless and always appreciate the effort and attention to detail that goes into things.

    At first, I didn’t watch Kirby’s videos, not because they were bad, but I felt they were slightly out of my league per se. I’ve later found Kirby’s videos to be extremely educational, entertaining & gives us all a peak into the world of the exceptional, finer things in life. Good job sir, excellent content! 👍🏾

    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?

    I have only 34 'Romeo y Julieta- Mille Fleurs' left in my humidor, and there are basically no more regular cuban cigars available to buy here in Germany. And I don't know if and when new cuban cigars will arrive here, so I just smoke these last few cubans that I have only on rare occasions, but that makes them even better, in the morning with a cup of coffee😁
    A 'Bolivar-Belicosos Finos', or a 'Partagas-series D-No.2' would be awesome to have once again.
    So I really hope that the cubans get their regular production going again.

    Going to smoke my first Habano when I go to Cancun in February, am excited. However, I have heard countless times how the QC has gone down so far from what it used to be with Cuban cigars. The quality in new world cigars is basically the closest you can get to perfect with a man-made product it’s a high bar to meet. Also, when the cigars are more important than the people to a country there’s an issue, just saying….

    Really enjoyed watching this. Just affirms my choice to prioritize collecting and enjoying Cubans despite all the naysayers espousing their preference for “new worlds” and sharing their absurd opinions on Cuban cigars as a whole. One is allowed to like chocolate…. and vanilla

    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.
