- The Holt’s guys dive into the world of cigar aroma and some of their favorite aromatic blends.
While a great flavor profile is essential to a good smoking experience, some cigars smell especially good and give off a pleasant room note. This video is about the cigars that do both: taste and smell GREAT.
If you're curious about different cigar aromas and fragrant blends, this video is for you.
What blend has the best aroma in your opinion? Let us know in the comments!

Watching the guys talk shop is the next best thing to firing up a good stick.
What is talking shop. Is that a northerner saying.
It’s a southern thing.
@@ckam7143 talking shop refers to talking about ones job or "work".
I was thinking that smoking, or I should say enjoying a cigar versus smoking a cigarette....is totally different...the nicotine in the cigarette is creating the "addiction" vs in cigars....you're addiction is the relaxation, the conversation, the whole ritual of enjoying a cigar...is what makes you wanna repeat the experience! I'm glad that I got into this elegant way of spending time...and thank you Holt's Cigar Company for contribution ... you are doing it in stylish way!
You do still absorb nicotine through cigars forsure. The habituation and ritual is similar to cigarettes too, cigarettes have just been made tabboo in our society now and cigars aren't widely smoked so they fly under the radar
Been smoking cigars 3+ years now.
Have 1 about every month or 2.
It's a treat for me and taxes in Australia suck.
I've never been craving or irate and sure everyone's different but I agree with the concept.
Its not a vice by any means
Nicotine's only about as addictive as caffeine. Cigarettes are generally full of a bunch of other stuff, but I definitely get more nicotine from my cigars than some people get from their daily cigarettes.
So true. Just fyi, nicotine does get into your system. I had a buzz not too long ago 😅
Doesn't help that cigarettes taste like sadness
You know that feeling you are talking about when smelling somebody else's cigar and you don't have one and how that sucks... Well you bastards do that to me everyday you drop one of these damned videos in the middle of a work day! Seriously... Have some compassion.
Haha! Exactly! Couldn’t wait to get home! Enjoying one as we speak! 😎🔥💨
😂😂😂💯💯💯

Smoking cigars or even my pipe for that matter is not just a relaxing experience but, an introspective one that allows me to plan, organize and think about things most important to me.
I fell in love with the oliva melanio maduro smoke aroma
That Maduro is an oil beast, smokes nicely.
@@nazarenocosta5280 That is going to be my Sunday morning cigar tomorrow. You have great taste my friend.
@@joecantrell8516 ahah, thank you man!
@joecantrell8516 I picked one up yesterday along with some blends I've never had. Im torn between the Oliva which I love and trying out one of these new blends tonight.
How much was it?
Greetings from Athens, Greece! Watching the video while smoking the Macanudo vintage maduro 2013, with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and the aroma is stunning! Another cigar with great aroma is the, My Father La Gran Oferta toro gordo.
I'll be in Athens in July. Whats a good lounge or cigar shop around there?
I love this channel. Im a woman and im gonna start getting into cigars and just tryna digest as much info as possible.
You're in the right place, welcome!
Enjoying my Arturo Fuente gran reserva listening to y’all from Bulverde, Texas. Good show y’all.
Hi from Bulverde Rd in SATX!
Enjoyed an arturo fuente casa cuba while watching this video 🫡
I love this channel and appreciate every episode. I order most of my cigars from Holts and the service is impeccable! That being said, with regards to this subject I have to say to the other viewers that Dunbarton’s Stillwell Star No. 1 is the most amazing cigar I personally have ever had when talking about the “aroma.” My garage doubles as my cigar lounge. When enjoying one of these I actually put the doors down. Thanks for your channel!
Thank you for your support!
I'm coming to visit Holts in Jan!
I started smoking cigars just over a year ago. I quit smoking cigarettes just over 3mo ago. Quitting cigarettes has made the cigar experience so much better taste and smell wise.
My top two aromatic cigars is the Nub Triple Roast and Dunbarton Stillwell Star 22. I really love the smell of both of those. I’ve gotten asked many times what I’m smoking when I enjoy one of those.
i can agree with you when you say a good cigar makes you chill/relaxes you.
Started watching this and I'm smoking the same stick as Faccia! Indeed, a very aromatic cigar and have gotten told while smoking the original blend San Cristobal! Recently bought the 5 pack San Cristobal fresh pack from Holts. Cheers 🔥 💨
One of your better videos. I get a lot of comments when I smoke the Fuente Chateau, sun grown or natural.
Wow when I visit you're establishment soon; your establishment will be the first in my lifetime of smoking that I will have been to that allows smoking IN the humidor
Looking forward to your visit!
Good Evening 😊 Appreciate You Sharing Your Knowledge 👍🏼 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
I’m from NY, but live on the west coast. You guys remind me of home, your sense of humor, the way you interact, the accents… the vibes. You guys are great. 🙏🏼❤
WATCHING THIS VIDEO MAKES ME WANT ONE!!
I found a real hidden gem when I traveled to NOLA. The New Orleans cigar factory , Los Hermanos Tres hermanos is an excellent maduro. Tried it several times and have never been disappointed. Hope you guys review it someday. They need the publicity. Great quality at a great price.
Anthony Micali looks so handsome with a beard. You guys are really charismatic with all these suits, ties, and cigars.
That you, Mrs Micali?
Totally agree; smoking cigars definitely is a relaxing activity. Watching your video while enjoying a Jamie Garcia Reserva Especial. Thanks for another great show.
The best aromatic cigars I've ever smoked are the Rose of Sharon and the Mayflower Dusk.
Was going to comment Rose of Sharon 👍
Love the channel guys… would love to see y’all go live sometime
It might be just me but when someone smokes a My Father cigar I immediately know what it is. Unmistakable aroma!
I get some comments from time to time when I smoke my favorite stick, the Aging Room Quatro. Such a great smoke, I'm glad it does not offend most of those around me.
Im a pipe, cigar, and legal herb smoker, going through 8-10 cigars a month, and probably 90 bowls of pipe tobacco. As a tobacco lover, I appreciate both cigars and pipe tobacco flavors more because I experience a wider array of flavors and types. Imo. Just finished an Oliva M Monticello from your cigar of the month club. Exquisite cigar! Really loving the Nicaraguan tobacco recently. On a pipe tobacco note, HU Tobacco from Germany recently released their products in the USA, and if you love flavor, and amazing tobacco, HU is a no brainer. We pipe smokers call the aroma “room note” when addressing a tobacco’s smell indoors. Would love an infused cigar vid from Holt’s, if that’s something you guys smoke. Appreciate the vids and info. And the great cigars in Holt’s cigar of the month club! ❤
That 5:50 mark is spot on!
Arturo Fuente Rare Pink has a excellent aroma. ❤
There is something about the Nica Rustica, when ever I smoke it the wife says wow that smells amazing 😊
Nica Rustica. The Broadleaf is my fav!!
LFD Cabinet No. 6 torpedo, AF Casa Cuba, Ferio Tego Elegancia, Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real some of my favorites. Aromas are like tastes, personal to smoker. Concur with the selections in this video as well. Missed Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro and Padróns
I am also guilty as charged with smoking to the nubs.
Missed Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro. To these gentlemen’s point, I am a nubber, so guilty as charged. I am going to take my time well spent to the limit.
Great segment.. my wife doesn’t smoke but there have been a few times she likes the smell.. going to have to start paying attention a bit more lol.. thank for the vid!!! 🙏🏼🔥🔥
Was out on the east coast a couple weeks ago and had to visit Holts. Wasn’t disappointed. What a great place. I waked in and was greeted by 3 great Tobacconist. Told them I was from Illinois and one piped up and said”what the fuck you doin here?”😂 Just my kind place! Didn’t get to meet these two fine gentleman because they were upstairs filming the Halloween video. Maybe next time. I did enjoy a fine cigar in the beautiful cigar lounge before I left. What a great atmosphere this place has. Wish I lived closer so I could stop by and enjoy this place more often. Maybe I’ll make my way out there again when the new place opens.
My grand father lived on Marple Street in Northeast Philly and worked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and I remember going to their house in the late fifties and sixties. He was a pipe smoker ( prince albert) and a tobacco chewer ( mail pouch ) and a cigar smoker , mostly Phillies and although in those days you "could" smoke in the house, those hot summer nights he was out on the porch burning a Philly visiting with the neighbor ( they lived in row houses with a shared porch ) and that pipe and cigar smell was delightful ! I am sure his cigar cost about a nickel or a dime and would be appalled that one of his grandsons ( me ) has spent over $100 on a cigar ! These days I don't smoke in the house ( at least here ) but rather outside or on the porch weather providing. For the first time EVER in 20 years a couple of months ago my wife commented on "that cigar smells good' ! Wow!!!!! , this is from a non- smoker, what cigar was it? It was a Davidoff Royal Series original robusto ! The cigar was wonderful but her comment made the price ( $ 75.00 ) justified ! Keep up the good work and best regards from Montana USA , JZ
I enjoy Diamond Crown Robusto No. 4 maduro cigar is an ultra-premium smoke
Every Friday when I walk into my local cigar shop the aroma just calms me down
My wife definitely prefers when I smoke Maduro cigars, in particular the Nica Libre Potencia and HC Black Maduro. She says she gets a great peanut butter and chocolate scent off of those.
12:50 I don't get many flavor notes in the mouth, but while taking a drag and the smoke is coming off of the end, I can sometimes pick up a citrus, or chocolate or leather note on the smell of the cigar I'm smoking.
Aston Cabernet for me had the most amazing honey and raw cashew aroma.
Was brilliant.
Sweetness was on the nose not the pallet.
When I saw this tittle i was expecting to see you talking about Deadwood or some other flavored cigar. I have had that same experience where someone will come up and say that cigar smell nice.
Recently my buddy and I smoked Montecristo 2000 Special Edition. What an amazing cigar! Very dark Oscuro wrapper, but medium, really mellow in strength. Very, very deep, rich and pleasant flavors like dark chocolate, dark roast coffee,l and walnut. One of these cigars that look like a power punch, but turns out very mellow.
I have had the same experience. Smell a cigar and curse yourself for not having one. So I had a custom insert made for my bag. If there is a chance I’ll get to smoke a cigar, I always have one with me. And I’ll bring an extra just in case someone asks and they want one too. I’m happy to share. Invariably, I get compliments on the aroma whenever I am smiling one.
I enjoy a lot of them. Had and have coworkers who smoke the newly legal stuff in NJ and they think cigars stink...just wow.
Meanwhile we can smell their aroma all the way from Philly 😂
I had my very first Davidoff this week. It was the same one you were smoking. I enjoyed it so much in my latest order from Holts I got another. I was a little nervous when I first purchased it because of the price. I’m always scared when I pay that much if I like it or not. the San Cristobal reminds me a lot of the La Roma de Cuba which I enjoy very much, especially the Mi amor.
One of my favorite cigars that I feel has great aroma, is the Alec Bradley Prensado.
True, my wife hates the smell of almost every cigar, but she always likes that one and a few others.
I love listing to yall talk shop, you should consider doing a cross over episode with the "lounge lizards" podcast guys yall would be great together.
I believe they are near by yall, hour and a half drive to New Jersey to the Ten86 👀
I gave my brother in law a Rocky Decade. As he was smoking it I thought, wow that smells decadent!!!
Great video! More like this one, please.
Just bought a box of the La Fermentada from Cigars Daily and their collaboration with Oliva. Should be good.
If you don't mind, could you also list your cigar choices in video notes? That we be great to use as a reference, especially for those of us who are newer to the hobby!
It's a new drinking game; when they say "vibes," you take a shot.🤣
😂😂
Opus X just hits different. Especially indoors. On the course Sungrown Dbl Chateau...damn that smells good.
Very nice, see you for Fuente Mania next Friday, cheers
See you here!
Aganorsa leaf has 3 or 4 cigars that have aroma that makes my mouth water. Jaime Garcia by my father also
Montesino shade wrapper has an incredible aroma. Smells like short bread cookies!
great video guys . I pick the guitar a bit . It relaxes me as cigars do .Does anyone play that guitar I see in the background ?
Playing music can definitely be relaxing!! A few of the guys behind the scenes play, so it's nice to have a guitar around for when there's a bit of down time.
I get that question the most when I'm smoking the Jacob's Ladder from Southern Draw
Im new to the cigar thing ive never smoked one but i know a few people who do and i would like to try it what would you suggest i know i like the more sweet flavors what would you suggest to pair with a rum drink?
No cap though Ashton Cabinet and LFD Double Ligero in natural and maduro smell fire, frfr
Smoking one of those LFD right now! Cheers!
I like that it is a longer video
How do you deal with body and clothes odor after smoking a cigar? My hands and clothes smell very strongly of smoke when I've had a cigar. It doesn't matter whether I smoke outside or inside, in well-ventilated or poorly ventilated places. I also wash my hands in between and rinse my mouth.
And the taste stays in my mouth for hours despite drinking and brushing my teeth...
Do you have a solution for this or is it simply unavoidable?
)
I love the smell on my hands and clothes after I've smoked a good cigar! I wouldn't go to work that way but just being around the house I love it. The taste in the mouth thing is something you will prob get used to and eventually never notice again. That's my experience anyway.
14:10 Since, recently getting back into smoking cigars, I’ve wondered if aficionados appreciate other forms of leaf products! 😂
I offered a fair goer a cigar. He couldn’t find the cigar stand. I gave him diesel unlimited. It was an unspoken brotherhood.
Hops is related to cannabis, which is why beer can smell like that (especially strong dry hopped ones).
Have you noticed that the aroma is consistent with the flavor or notes?
It would be nice to have links for each of the cigars in the video.
100% agree I smell other people's cigar than mines.
What i want to know is how you don't become "nose blind" working in an around cigars all day??? Or do you, going in and out of a humidor, being around people smoking, how do you combat that??
At times we do become nose blind.
My friend complimented me on the aroma of the Oliva V 135th Anniversary.
“You guys might think we’re 🧢 but we’re being frfr ong rn”. Didn’t see Facc coming with that one. 😂🥃
Just tryna keep it 💯
Cigar smoke is my cologne.
I'm about to join your cigar of the month club. Are all of the cigars on your website hand made ? Thanks!
Yes, most premium cigars are naturally handmade products, and rest assured you will never receive any machine made cigars from our cigar of the month club 😉
@holtscigars awesome thank you so much. I Love the channel. I joined the cigar of the month club last night. And my cigars already shipped out! Can't wait to try them
Welcome aboard thank you for the support!
I always have to ask my wife about the aroma of the cigar I'm smoking, you hangs around longer when the aroma is good
I have been smoking tatuaje cigars and they have become my favorite. What are your thoughts on this brand?
Also I can’t seem to find any of the brands u recommended
Tatuaje makes great cigars, we love them! They're also made by the My Father factory 🔥
This might sound cringe, but since it is legal in my country, i had the privilege to experiment, so i took a really good pipe blend that aging for a few years, mixed it with some of my dads medical and that joint i swear smelled and tasted better than the pipe blend by itself and better than any cigar I've ever had. But i am a devout pothead since I use it recreationally and medically to regulate my autism and adhd and as a sleep aid since having those last two causes severe amounts of insomnia, so thank god for that, but i digress, but being used to the cannabis, i probably don't notice that skunky aroma as much anymore and smell more stuff in the cured flower such as fruits, brewing hops, I've grown some that smelled like skittles when trimming but after it was cured it smelled like vanilla, some smelled like hot dogs, catfood, chocolate, fish, some smelled like literal gasoline. So it's definitely a more play by nose type of thing and since i love growing it, and want to get back into growing tobacco, I'd love to take some of the CBD varieties i got for blending with my cigars
I think the best time to get the amazing aroma from the cigar you are personally smoking is on first light.
I challenge you guys to really try and describe room notes. If you can rattle-off tasting notes, accounting for the sense of smell should be within reach.
For example, with that Davidoff, I always think buttermilk pancakes and a western boot store all-at-once. I know I’m right! 😂
can't beat that 😂
man, when i was 16 my first job was a Bus boy at a Country Club. i remembered all the servers complaining how they didnt like the bar area of the club because of the Cigar smoke. I always loved the smell of cigars so i didnt mind. they would tip me extra for clearing their tables in there so they didnt have to.
Their loss was your gain 😂
@holtscigars damn right
Other aromatic cigars:
Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne
Montecristo White Series
Joya De Nicaragua Cabinetta
How many cigars do you guys smoke on average per week? I stick to about 1 every week or 2 weeks.
Oliva V Lancero gives off an amazing strong scent
Has anyone tried the Kristoff Guardrail? I hear its pretty aromatic.....cant wait to get my hands on one?
If you guys get a chance can you maybe review a couple new releases like that? :)
Commenting this before the video cuz I am an impatient fuck, but AVO Synchro Caribe is one of the most aromatic cigars out there imo. Don't know yet if it made it on your list
Room notes vary less, and smoking overshadows it, but if you cultivated a connoisseurship in it, you would find some more descriptive notes.
To me, maduro room notes smells more musky compared to the sweeter aroma of lighter wrappers (which is ironic because I usually get sweeter notes from smoking marudos).
Also, the hops used in beer definitely smell like cannabis. Go to a home brewing store and smell some to see how dramatic the similarity is. I can't say I've ever smelled that degree of similarity from cigars beyond a vague "herbal" note that could just as well be cilantro or sage.
I definitely get sleepy after a cigar
How do I prevent or fix canoeing of a cigar?
I love the Padron 1964
Who doesn't!!
@2:19 That's the nicotine activating your parasympathetic nervous system which is one of the reasons why I think tobacco is associated with long life. Not cigarettes though, that's different, and activate you sympathetic nervous system too much cause you inhale a lot of the nicotine instead of a slow absorption which is more controlled, it just takes longer to feel the effects vs cigarettes, and less of a rush
Having a cigar after a drink/ puffing some herb will feel good cause they enhance each other. Why you think you always see Shamans with a cigar, they are using it to stay in a certain frequency!
Why is it that one can smell a different aroma, from someone else’s is cigar? I agree 100% that it happens. My top 4 that I get comments from non smokers are the Davidoff Ann., the San Cristobal Quintessence, Rocky Patel 1999 and the EPC New Wave. I only smoke the EPC New Wave at the beach for this very reason. Strangely enough on many occasions people ask me if I am smoking a vanilla infused cigar, but I never get that tasting note from smoking it.
What we taste and what we smell often times dont correlate. Tobacco and Marijuana both have a distinctive taste bcuz it's a plant at the end of the day but the smell and the actual smoke trigger our brains to find a familiar flavor.
Aromatic blends? Steve Sakas Stillwell Star. Any of them
Mazz please Do Top 10 Pig tail Cigars.
How do you deal with cigar smoke smell in the house. It’s gotta sit there even with air purifier.
I wish i could find Dutch masters Panatela. I know they are old drug store machine made... but its the aroma I enjoyed decades ago..wax nostalga😶🌫️😂
My boy Fach, forgive me if i spelled it wrong. Looking good with the beard.
Was in nashville couple weeks ago at a roof top bar with my wife and had a woman behind us ask me to blow the smoke her way she loved the aroma.
Oliva V 135th
Sometimes I need to take a short nap after a strong cigar. I know what he means
Off subject question
I’m a soldier going to Poland soon
Do yall be able to ship cigars over?
Unfortunately we do not but we do make contributions to charities that send cigars to our troops. Thank you for your service 🫡
@@anthonymazzola4470 hey thanks anyway fella, God bless yall 🫡
