Eddies voice, knowledge and mannerisms always make the videos he is in extremely easy to watch and enjoy. Impressive tie knot as well.
@Head Piece That's because you don't care to respect others.
@Chilledtim1 agreed.
I had my first visit to Davidoff London last week. What a wonderful place! I was kindly helped in via a ramp ( I use a wheelchair) and the staff were excellent. They were kind, polite and the young man who helped me and my father had a wealth of knowledge on the subject of cigars. I left a very happy man! I will be back without a shadow of a doubt. Thank you Davidoff London.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and the kind feedback.
i use a wheelchair too and i've always wondered if i could get into their shop. thanks for this comment mate. i will definitely have to visit their shop if i'm ever in london.
@@tonyridestrails Nothing stopping you.
What would you consider a sufficient budget for a one time trip / visit? (Including 5-10 souvenir cigars bought there?)
@@3-methylindole730 Not to be off putting but for 5-10 cigars I'd say at least £500. A single cigar from there can cost anywhere from £30 to over £60
Eddie, I love your videos. I'm a blue collar factory worker but when I sit down with a cigar and one of your videos I feel like I'm taken to level of class and elegance which I couldnt otherwise enjoy without... thank you very much Eddie and your Father as well
To be a refined, kind, respectful human being and Gentleman is not dependent upon your income or job title. You can be cultured and full of class while being a proud blue-collar worker who is doing his utmost to be a respectful Gentleman and kind human. Don't let yourself down or intimidated by not being wealthy or having a special job title. There are many people with all that and still having no class, culture or respect for themselves or others. You can be a fine Gentleman no matter where you come from and no matter what you do as a profession, as long as you do your utmost to be the best person you can be! By the way, what are you smoking? I am smoking an Ave Maria Immaculata Toro by A.J. Fernandez, which is a delicious fine cigar, highly recommended! Cheers to you mate!
@@Kenny-yl9pcIndeed, the status of gentleman is independent of class or income. It’s a way of being and acting, not of showing off.
So happy you are continuing this series, love to hear people talk about things they are passionate about :)
Eddie wears a moonswatch 😁 love it ❤️
Eddie is simply the definition of gentleman. If I could exude one tenth of his class and temperament, I would be a happy man.
Awesome! :) Thank you for taking the feedback of the community into consideration and reacting with longer videos! :)
Our pleasure!
Love that they are posting more, could easily see this becoming the premiere cigar channel on youtube
This is amazing. Expert Advice. Eddie comes across friendly, humble, and happy and to think a life in something he excels in was all carefully planned out by his father. Sort of like the cigars behind him
25 minutes? What an absolute treat, one day I’ll go across the pond just to visit Davidoff of London.
The Great Edward Sahakian, a legend from a vanished era. I’m a huge fan of Eddie and all his knowledge and professionalism.
Mr. Eddie... what a class... I'll go to London just to know your lounge. Learning a lot of you. Thanks
I remember back when I was a child, and teachers would read us exciting books, we’d all be so interested and paying full attention with anticipation. I feel the same as an adult watching ANY video when it involves Mr. Edward and Mr Eddie Sahakian. These Gentlemen are amazing. Been re watching a lot of videos while on break at work, until something crazy happens. Thank you Gentlemen for everything you’ve done and are doing for the world of cigars.
Eddie is so class. From his compliments to Cuba and Cubans, to his thoughts on materialism, consumerism and here with the reminder of what a collector's prime motivation should be; to enjoy the cigar.
Class is what it’s all about.
I love antiques and one thing I have loved since I was a kid is vintage tobacco baseball cards and all things tobacco like vintage humidors and silver and gold pocket knives and lighters and tobacco or cig cases made of precious metal.
No joke I once bought a old tobacco table humidor with two ashtrays that dangle from each side with a beautiful blue glass ashtray that is lined with copper .
I got it for a steel at $42 and turned it over and found to my surprise it was made in Springfield Vermont USA ,
I am a vermonter and always will be so to find a 100 year old table humidor made from my home state was amazing.
The best part about it was it was stuffed with old black silverware black with age and under 2 full sets of sterling flatware i found a 1969 gmt Swiss t/25 faded Pepsi bezel rolex which was missing the 18k white gold band and a 1913 shoeless Joe Jackson baseball card which was not a tobacco card but it was in near mint and 8 out of 10 grade mint!
The baseball card was a $3000 card one of less then 80 that’s ever been PSA graded and the Tiffany flatwere was 2 full sets I sold for $8,000 and i kept the white gold pocket knife made by esemco co. But I sold the watch on eBay for $10,000 and if it had the missing gold band I would I have got another $5,000 but alas it did not.
The old humidor is worth between $750-1,250 which I still have and is now loaded with amazing cigars I cherish.
Tobacco and cigars have brought me NOTHNG but
Happyness and jot there as fine as any fine wine in my mind and I love a good smoke and one day hope I can make it to the shop,what a dream come true it will be.
Finally!! A great video that doesn’t teach one how to cut and light. This is the type of content that the Sahakians should be sharing. Thank you Eddie!!
Mr.Sahakian, It is always a pleasure to listen to you and your father, talk about the passion that you both have for a Cigar. I have to admit that seeing a box of cigars with Castro's signature on it always fascinates me, in how your father has done such a wonderful job in their preservation all of these years. Always a pleasure to watch and learn from you and your father.
Eddie i just wanted to take the time to say one of my greatest pleasures is to get comfterable light up a cigar and watch your videos. thank you for your wealth of knowledge and setting the atmosphere for a nice relaxing evening cigar. i look forward to the topic of the very early cigars you mentioned here from 1938 and hearing more about mr Simon Chase, rest in peace.
I'm so glad you made this video! The aging of cigars is often a subject that is brushed over or only mentioned in passing, so this was incredibly interesting to watch!
I can watch this all day.
Eddie is a true gem, please keep these wonderful videos coming in the future
This can be a controversial subject amongst cigar makers today as I’ve heard many claim their cigars are not for aging and are ready to be consumed as is. I think Eddie addresses this beautifully in stating not all cigars are to be aged as well as explaining his informative opinions are subjective. His explanation that the character changes that take place over time are subtle and not always discernible to those whose palate may lack experience in properly aged cigars is key to keep in mind in deciding if you’re going to endeavor properly storing your cigars for decades before lighting them up. His emphasis on the process being done properly for the results he discussed as being essential for noteworthy results is important to know. All around an excellent and informed opinion piece on aging premium cigars. Eddie is a joy and I’m grateful for him and his family. Keep up the exceptional and unique content!❤
The amazing technology of you tube allows us all to enter the finest cigar shop in the world ( along with the Sahakian Shop) and "sit" down and talk with the greatest experts in the world. Learning every day. Thank You.
Not only was this relaxing to watch and listen to, I learned a lot too.
Traveling to this man's shop is pretty high on my bucket list, being able to share a story with these gentlmen will be most jubilant.
I stumbled on this video and immediately remembered an occasion some years ago when I was visiting London and I met this tall gentleman in the Davidoff shop that made a freshman such as myself feel very welcome although at the time I had no idea of the significance of whom I can only now think was Eddie! Thank you so much it was wonderful to buy some cigars from you and I hope that I will get to visit again soon! (P.S Eddie gave me a cigar tube to take one of my purchases home with which I will now admire even more so, thanks again for that!)
Wow! A long video from you, just when I’m about to light up my first Signature No. 1 Limited Edition 2023! What a treat!
What a voice, slow, gentle and rich.
As always, a fantastic well presented and beautifully articulated video Eddie! I appreciate the time you invest in making these videos and eagerly await the next. My kindest regards to you and your father. I look forward to catching up with you soon. All the best, Jakir Bahar.
Please continue uploading regularly! We appreciate the hard work!
The joy of seeing a new video being released is always great. Thank you for bringing us this video, brother.
I’m loving these new videos with Eddie! Just like being in the shop!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, Eddie. Always a pleasure to watch you and your father. I must complement your watch game as well. Always on point! Take care.
I like the juxtaposition of being eloquently informative discussing vintage well-aged cigars while also wearing a MoonSwatch. Of course, the outfit matches the watch.
Eddie, thank you for this very informative video, I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into making these for us to enjoy; I do hope that you will continue to make more of these.
Take care, all the best.
Great video. By the way, tu cure the nauseous feeling from nicotine, a few teaspoons of Maple syrup, honey, treacle etc etc. Something really sweet. Usually within about 30 secs the feeling subsides. You probably knew, that already but if not, it;'s a good way to feel better fast.
Thanks Eddie, Always respect you and your father’s experience. Your great knowledge and professionalism is always appreciated. Love watching your videos and with Kirby as well, Keep up the great work !!
The knowing smile as you say "We recommend having a full stomach and not having been too drunk" when you enjoy the cigar was priceless. Denoting that being too drunk is not only uncouth but detrimental while coyly implying there is a correct amount of drunk is suave indeed sir. Cheers.
Legendary Sahakian family, please accept a warm welcome from Yerevan!!
What a phenomenal video. This is incredible from Eddie.
An outstanding video on the ageing of cigars Eddie.
Please continue your series Eddie, it's greatly informative and wonderful to watch. Thank you
This is wonderful, Eddie. Thank you for sharing.
What a wonderful find this channel is. Both father and son are such wonderful rays of light. The respect between them 🙏.
Love it when Kirby visits. So much to learn from these gentlemen.
Fantastic that you're doing longer format videos now.
Pure class!
Absolute Masterclass. Thank you for all of your contributions and further contributions to our shared hobby.
Thank you very much for your time making this video! A true gentleman!

Love these videos! I’ve never smoked and don’t really plan on doing so but your enthusiasm is infectious and I love hearing about this topic!
Thank you, Eddie for this wonderful presentation! Loved it.
Wow. I love these uploads. Thank you for your content - it's really nice to learn
Well I'm glad to see you backing at posting those insightful videos again;as you said Mr.Eddie there is a lot to talk about in the wrold of cigars,and I know it's very challenging to find time to shoot these videos,so thank you very much for finding the time,and I hope to see an episode about spotting the counterfeit especially in the era of social media where there is a huge number of scammers !
Amazing video Eddie. Thank you once again.
Such an education for an old novice wanting to expand from the norm. Not only learning cigars, but enhancing my gentleman's manor as well.
If Eddie fell in horse shit he would come out smelling of roses! love this guy
lol
Probably the most important video on cigars ever produced. Thank you.
What a beautiful classic man.
Incredible knowledge, wisdom & advice you & your father have & just importantly your happy to pass onto your viewers. Thank you Eddie.
Everything about the Shahakian's speak class, style, and elegance. I've learned so much watching videos and reading articles referring to Edward Sr & Jr. If I ever make it to London, Davidoff of London will be my first stop!
Love that Eddie is wearing a Moonswatch!
Thank you Eddie!! 👌
I have never heard anybody speaking so clearly and directly about this matter. The exposition is perfect. I hope I can achieve the knowledge of this matter as you have already, one day! Cheers from Italy
FASCINATING!!!
What a Treat. Thank You.
Fantastic, appreciate the knowledge sharing!
Remarkable. Thoroughly engaging.
Thanks again for a video Eddie.
Davidoff London videos are the best cigar videos on youtube, very happy to see a new one!
Excellent video Eddie, I enjoyed every second
Great video, congrats and thanks for all the advices!

Love the video! Thanks for all the info. Love hearing about the temp and humidity settings 👍
Great video. Thanks.
Eddie has gone to the top of the list of people I would most like to meet in life!
Thank you very much, Eddie. Keep it up!
The sweet suit, the voice, the cadence, the class and all that...but I'm most enjoying this cause you can just tell he's passionate about his stuff, and that's always cool.
Fantastic information that can't be found anywhere else! And the MoonSwatch suits you well! 👌
Great video!!! Wealth of knowledge
Very humble and enlightening explanation by a soft spoken gentleman!
Fascinating! Thank you for another highly entertaining and informative video. Kindest regards.
Mr.Sahakian thank you very much for all the information.
Wow!! What a pleasure to hear your in depth insight in this tooic

Thank you Eddie. Wonderful video as always. Very informative, and the softness and cadence of your voice makes for an excellent presentation.
Thank you Eddie your presentation, kindness and knowledge is exceptional.
So appreciate you, your time, sharing your experience and knowledge. Thank you 🙏 ❤
What an awesome video, this just further rekindles my interest in cigars.
As always, a class act by Eddie.
Eddie, please post more videos. Learning so much between you and Kirby's videos.
Question: thoughts on ageing in a simple box/cabinet humidor? I have a simple one made of Spanish cedar, around 10 inches square and 8 inches deep. currently my mix of Cuban and New World cigars are all mixed in higgledy piggledy. I'd say most of your viewers have something similar, I think a video with your thoughts on such humidors would be useful. keep up the good work
I have been hunting that book for ages! Glad it found a proper home with the Sahakians.
Exceptional in every way….
Extremely helpful!!!
Eddie is knocking it outta the park with these videos.
That was hypnotic.
Style and class, well done explanation.
Very much appreciated and enjoyed video Sir. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Thumbs up~John
It's always a pleasure to listen to Mr. Sahakian as he shares his knowledge. I've discovered many of the benefits to aging (Cuban) cigars more by accident than design. Over time, with my buying rate far exceeding my smoking rate, I now find myself with a substantial number of my cigars at 10+ years of age at the time of writing. The absolute jewel in the crown though, so to speak, are my Bolivar Coronas Extra from April of 1999, without doubt the most wonderful cigar smoking experiences I've ever had, it *still* irks me that such a classic cigar was done away with! I'm convinced also that they have many more years left in them too! I wholly agree that the benefits of aging non-Cuban leaf are far more subtle, the one standout for me has been that the pure strength and frankly, brutality of some Nicaraguan cigars tails off and the smoke becomes a much more rounded and enjoyable experience.
Thank you for the knowledge.
Wonderful video! Thanks for all the advice ^^
