Hi also first
guess what jason didn’t say wazowski at the beginning
what lighter did Brian use when he lit his cigar?
I commenting in a later video about not showing the Norwegian kroner (NOK) on the list of currency when having Swedish kroner (SEK) and Danish kroner (DKK). Despite been the closest neighbors to Norway Thanks for adding NOK to the list 😉
Brian gets given a cigar. Instantly pulls a chooch move of trying to smell the cigar through the plastic wrap.
He wasn't smelling the cigar. He was uhm reacting his skin oils with the plastic, then smelling it to see if their hands are clean.
No problem for the save.
No less than six minutes into the episode too, fucking six minutes is all it took for Brian to pull one of the choochiest moves, lmao
@@naxmorvigatore4168 a real chooch would then unwrap it and try to use a guillotine cutter on a parejo creating the deepest cut known to man.
@@hackerhacker-ms2wy Lmao you right, at least he didn't snip the tip with a guillotine
Honestly, anyone who calls someone a chooch (or any other insult) is likely a snob. In many shops that sell cigars, you can't pull a cigar out of the wrap until after you have purchased it. You can in fact get some of the scent through the cellophane, and it is a good way to get a feel for what a particular cigar will be like. If cellophane was so good at sealing that you wouldn't get a smell, then the cigar would definitely never dry out if in cellophane. This clearly is not the case and a humidor is recommended for any form of long term storage. One thing I respect about Alex is that instead of calling Brian out for what he said he instead explained in detail what a first impression was, and even after Brian called himself a chooch, Alex tried to reassure Brian that what he said has some merit even if it wasn't the proper way to appreciate the cigar. You will notice Jason mentioned Daniel from the Whiskey Tribe. He paraphrased what Daniel says, but most experts will tell you the same thing. What truly matters is that you enjoy it, and that you enjoy it the way you like. Do not let others tell you how to enjoy things. You can take guidance from others, but don't talk down to others for enjoying things differently.
Literally going on a date to a cigar bar tonight, thanks for this guys 😂
Gl
Good luck hope it goes well
How'd it go?
You married yet?
When are you going to have kids?
Please do another episode on pipes! I was so happy when you guys did, and I'd love to see more of you guys actually giving it a try rather than just listening in. And there's so much to talk about, from how all the various types of pipe tobacco are made and their characteristics (Virginia, burley, Latakia, oriental, perique, cavandish), aging, stoving, topping and casing, blending, history, cuts, and so much more.
Alot of tobacco companies freely give tours alot like breweries
As an avid cigar smoker always loved the cigar content
Edit I thought henke kelner blended the davidoff royal release not Diaz
As a chooch, so do I.
I can't be the only person screaming at my screen for Murphy or anyone to notice his cigar isn't fully lit and is about to canoe.
No I seen it and wanted to reach in and take it from him
Definitely getting strong Truman show vibes watching this considering I rewatched the old cigar videos just last night 😆 🤣 I hope everyone is enjoying the show 😉
Me too just a few days ago I smoked my first real cigar, and now this pops up.
@@MilkyKilky they're watching us 😆
I just went back through them all 2 days ago on a whim and I feel the same
To be honest, the tea and tobacco videos are some of my favorite.
agreed
i just re-watched all your cigar and pipe videos yesterday and was so sad when i couldn’t find anymore! i just got some cigars for my birthday tomorrow and i’m so happy you guys uploaded more 😂
For the record, the Morse on that box says "God save the king".
Came to the comments for exactly this...
Thank you random internet man. You saved me an hour.
@@D33r_Hunt3r_ more like 10-15 mins
Haha, of course I go and figure it out only to come down to the comments and see it near the top! Should have just looked!
@@pastyuscricketer Took me like 3 minutes with an online translator.
I was considering smoking my birthday Montecristo this evening, I'll take this as a sign, thanks Rogues!
By looking at the band and knowing what your looking at...
Of course Jeff shows up on a cigar video. ;)
Fancy seeing you here.
@@Tunkkis Hey :)
@@Doughboy1941 lol...
Once again, just when you think it's a subject you're never going to be interested in MR delivers it in a way that keeps you fascinated too the end. _(applause)_
Cellophane isnt really plastic. Its made of natural things like wood. This makes it bio degradable and allows the cellophane sleeve to breathe
I just got a few cigars after making a small donation to a charity for kids with Autism started by a NY Firefighter who passed away and wrote in his will he wanted a charity started in his name for the Mentally Challenged and they partnered with a local cigar shop.
As you can tell by my pfp, I'm so happy that finally someone acknowledged that Batman spends more on helping the city than on gadgets in some versions.
I prefer Nicaraguan tobacco myself but will smoke a lot of varieties. I enjoy the Tabernacles and a lot of cigars from My Father. I have been smoking cigars for over 25 years and my advice is to try everything and smoke what you like and forget about others' opinions and pretentions.
Davidoff is just a clean clean smoking experience. I use to buy their ciggs and they were my favorite. Bought their cigars once and it was amazing.
Cigars are like wine, whisk(e)y, and coffee. If you like it, that's all that matters.
Just started smoking cigars, great video guys!
Join the cigar club my guy.
Davidoff is crazy in that that isn't even their top-of-the-line. They sell a $500 stick named the Oro Blanco, and then have the Zino Nicaragua, named after their founder, for like $7 apiece.
Davidoff is known as a luxury brand which means that everything they sell is more expensive than "normal".
@@ΣτελιοςΠεππας and I'm not the biggest fan of them. They're okay but have never been my favorite smokes
I am going to assume it is more complicated than looking at the price tag.
Just rewatch the original cigar videos a few days ago, I'm glad you've made another. :)
I'm new to this, but I've probably smoked a dozen cigars of a wide variety over the last 2-3 months. I have yet to be able to tell one from another, except MAYBE some didn't burn quite as evenly as others. I could tell wines apart from the start.
Try a davidoff, I couldn't really either but I've tried the mild davidoffs and they are very amazing and different
I'm really digging Brians's new haircut. I still miss the spikes, though... :(
Ditto but this is gentleman Brian 🤔
Alex gives me the same vibes as Chris the wine expert; anyone who tries to tell (read: sell) me the backstory about a product rather than the qualities of the product instantly triggers my charlatan alarm.
"This cigar was handrolled by a one-eyed witch doctor in a POW camp by moonlight to secretly fund the local freedom fighters. He only ever made exactly 666 of them."
"Is it an enjoyable smoke?"
"Oh Hell no, it tastes like shit. That's why I want you to focus on its (fictional) backstory."
LSS: cigar is worth however much a chooch is willing to pay for it, and it costs as much as the retailer decides to charge. Rarity, quality, and story may influence these numbers, but they're fundamentally unrelated.
Russ, you bring up a great point. Nonetheless, quality and traits in a cigar are subjective. Breaking down the qualities or characteristics of the products/composition itself would be tough for Jason and Brian to gauge because they're foreign to the classification and qualities of the different tobaccos used. Given that the task at hand was for them to guess the price of three different expensive cigars, the back story was what was needed to be used, specially when all three are already using superb tobacco (mind you, of all three we only sell one of them and it's never in stock) through an extensive aging process.
While I do want to agree with you in terms of the fundamental un-relativeness of rarity, quality, and story in relation to the price, as quality should in theory solely dictate these, the basic concept of supply and demand tyrannizes the consumer's reaction upon the scarcity or rarity of the product, and the like it or not, the story is what allows Gucci to charge $600 for the same shoe that Cole Haan sells for $200, or Gap charge $45 for the same shirt that Brooks Brothers sells for $150.
If you are a casual cigar guy like I am or this channel. I reccomend to buy cigars online. Mostly its A.J fernandez, and many other brands. I buy my cigars on sale.
Quite surprised gas burners were used to light up, I thought wood matches were preferable to not interfere with the flavour?
Matches interfere a lot with flavor due to the sulfur. If you use a match, ideally you light the match, let it burn down into the wood, use that to light a split made of cedar, and use the cedar split to light the cigar.
Zippo lighters are the worst for lighting a cigar because the lighter fluid taste will impart itself into the first quarter of the cigar. Just don't use zippo style lighters that use lighter fluid.
Butane lighters (whether they're jet flame or open flame) are the best as butane burns clean with no odor or taste. Funnily enough, if you don't want to buy a lighter just for cigars, go to the gas station and spend a dollar on a BIC.
Really, though, if you are in need of a light and don't have any options, any flame will do. It's just that some are better than others. However, do not ever use your stove flame to light a cigar.
@@MaskMan191 To your comprehenive and well rounded response, I d'off my metaphorical cap sir.
@Henry T For sure, I just had a "hasn't had his coffee" moment.
It's butane...orderless and tasteless. Most cigar makers/blenders use a Bic to light their cigars.
@@Calebh40 'Twas just something stuck in my head from back in the day when I smoked cigars semi-regulary. Whenever I bought a Cuban, the guy in the cigar shop gave me a book of matches and told me not to use a lighter.
I didn't even consider butane tbh.
Cheers for the knowledge though.
Gimme more cigar and whiskey content!
"Tell 'em the winner sent ya."
Can you guys meet up with Kirby Allison and the Davidoff guys over in London, Edward and Eddie? Maybe Nick and Max Foulkes while you're there? Would be an awesome session
Made in San Jose Costa Rica. I lived there for just over a year by far my most favorite place on the planet.
I had to choose filling my tank or buying a nice cigar...
I don't mind walking.
Become a motorcycle guy wear a puff jacket and smoke a cigar while ridinh
Been waiting for this one.
Mike from monsters Inc had a shadow, props to whoever edits
But Jason didn't say Wasowski in the first take? I heard Bersowski before I knew his name.
he called him "Mike Bersowski", the guy's name is Alex
@@seaginclauss7868 oh my God he did! Lol I did not catch that
Huh, that cinematography, good job!
It's such a small thing to be proud of but I'm glad I guessed correctly despite my only experience with cigars or smoking in general is the previous Modern Rogue videos on the topic.
My go to is the classico robustos if i run out of my personal stash or the premium cohiba in my neighborhood.
I was supprised to see so many currency convertions. What influenced the choice of currencies?
It's a regular feature on Modern Rogue episodes when they talk prices. It stems from having an international fanbase.
@@nephicus339 Yes, but you can't show all of them. There are too many, so how do they decide the currencies to show?
@@stefannilsson2406 I check our viewership stats and keep a list of countries and their currencies in a spreadsheet that converts for us. The 10 countries that watch our channel the most (skipping repeated currencies) get included in the conversion. It's a tough balance, because everybody prefers to be included but we have limited space, but I think this is a fairly equitable approach.
@@stefannilsson2406 Average statistical data from previous videos? i don't know, i'm not a youtuber.
@@BrandtHughes Cool. I was also kind of supprised to see both the norweigan and swedish crown since they are so close to eachother.
Just finished a nice My Father Le Bijou. My first celebratory smoke in, like, 6 years.
The highest I paid for a cigar was $65 and change for Placencia Year Of The Tiger cigar. I got the cigar so I could see what the hype was all about, however I was not impressed. I've had better cigars for a quarter of the price I paid.
Union Cigar in Gettysburg PA sells the A Bull for $24
This video triggered my asthma.
Thanks for brl conversion. That's it just thanks ✌️
Please do more cigar content!
Love that chooch, we use it Malta describing someone as an idiot rather than a fake poser 🤣
I heard a few year ago the Cohiba's were some of the best- but that was in Cuba
I've had a wide range of Cuban cigars, and while Cohiba was Fidel Castro's brand, and were exclusively made just for him, heads of state, and powerful guests of Castro's, Cohiba was eventually released to the Cuban public for consumption. I've also tried Montecristo, which is another of the major brands.
Personally, I prefer Partagas. It all comes down to personal tastes. I'll always pick up a Partagas before Cohiba, and Cohiba before a Montecristo.
Love the humour guys!
Yoooo! More a cigars!
It's a shame my country doesn't allow ordering tobacco over the internet, or listing your products on the web. I must do my online window shopping in a certain close by foreign country, which also conveniently has much lower taxes on tobacco and alcohol. Your loss, home country.
Also, describing Batman as a "vigilante cop who doesn't contribute to his community" is both really surface level and out there BS critique.
I'd really like to see a fly fishing episode
I've been craving a new cigar kr whiskey video recently
Damn I want a cigar now.
Andulsian Bull prices have come down again. If you pay over $22-24/stick, you’re getting ripped off. And honestly you should be more in the $20 range.
I feel like I did when cryptocurrency was explained to me by someone who was clearly INTO cryptocurrency.
Also: To me cigars smell great but they all taste like cigarettes smell. Still, this is good info to have in case some boss or someone I need to talk to also happens to be a “Cigar-bro”. :D
Cellophane is not plastic, it’s a nature product.
i wonder if T Techy Texas could say that url
Thanks for the BRL
So, anyone looked into if the flashing section of the screen has any hidden data?
I dont/wont smoke (cigarettes, weed, cigars) so im not to sure why im here.
Gotta support the rogues though
For those wondering, I got "God Save the King" from the Morse Code
i look it up if possible when i get home if it was a gift
Price alone doesn't mean it's a good or bad cigar I've had expensive cigars that were very unpleasant and awful and cheap ones that were fantastic and vice versa
I wish I liked cigars but they just kinda suck. They never burn well, they rarely taste good, they last too long and relighting them sucks. However pipe tobacco is incredible. I rarely smoke it but when I do its always good.
Day 1 of asking the Modern Rogue for a D&D episode.
damn brian is looking a lot skinnier

O heck yeah Chooch it up guys xD
This is the only channel I've heard the term chooch.

OK, but I’m not gonna say any numbers.

Brian holds his cigar the way a Russian holds a cigarette
Welp damn, adding this to my "Shit You Need to Know" list
Don't Be A Chooch, While Smoking Your Stogie In The Hood
Absolutely no difference between a $25 cigar and $75 except the hype and BS associated with the $75.
Every time you bought one you overpaid no matter how expensive it was.
The fuck happened to the video thumbnail
you can tell cheap from good thats for sure
I've smoked a lot of cheap cigars in my life and only a handful of more expensive ones and I still can only really tell a slight difference. It's kind of like scotch... I can tell a huge difference between a $15 bottle of blended and a $50 bottle of single malt but I could barely tell you the difference between a $50 and $100+ bottle.

It's expensive if it has a price.
smoke a cigar with chewing gum try it
Take the bands off, make yourself unaware of branding and smoke it. If you like it you like it. Only assholes care about the price of their cigar.
What was Brian using to light his cigar?
Most important... don't be a chooch!
Rule #1...Always take a cigar out of the wrapper or tube. Rule #2 Always use a good humidor and maintain a 71-72% humidity. Rule #3 Based on Rule #1 and #2 Cigars are like fine wine. They get better with age if cared for. I have 20yr old Cuban cigars that will not disappoint...
"How expensive is a cigar?" EASY! buy it then look at the recipe, DUH.
Please don't fill. In 60fps... It just looks weird and disgusting
