Oh, Jemma Freeman is such an exceptional woman! With her British English I can listen to her for hours.😆
Can we take a moment and just acknowledge how majestic & regal Jemma looks holding and smoking a cigar. Beautiful.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are really funny !!!
Women that smoke cigars is a huge turn off tbh especially beautiful women.
The reason I clicked the video 👌🏽
Women should not be smoking cigars it looks so weird and out of place.
@@user-xo4ju6pt8t They shouldn’t be voting either, should they?…
I love to hear Anna speak. The accent combined with the native español pronunciation helps train my ear and I appreciate that.
Kirby smokes cigars like an expert, his cigar smoking skill’s have improved greatly over the episodes, love it😶🌫️😎
Jemma is the pinnacle of CEo´s who love their company, respect their customers and are the perfect Host for their guests. A true conneisseur, an extremeley prudent and polite person who can bring the best of a gathering that brings the best out of the partners in crime and project the best ideas all people arround her have. It´s absoluteley exquisite to watch you all ladies and gentelmen perform these conversations. Be surrounded by interesting people and interesting ideas will aflorish.
Jemma is an INCREDIBLE custodian of her family’s legacy.
Agreed. Only if Nat Shermans Kids and grandkids kept the business alive in NYC here in the states. But they were greedy and spoiled brats who sold the family legacy off to a big business in 2018 and closed during COVID in 2020 2021. They should be ashamed of themselves. It really is a crying Shame SMH.
She was fabulous. Her posture at the beginning was the first thing I noticed strangely. Yours Kirby much like my own needs work. Another fantastic video
@@Bourne1984 her posture just fine... she is lovely...
@@caughtoncamera27 I know, hence why I said mine and KAs needs work.
We love you Jemma! Thanks Kirby for the quality guests who you invite on your show. Jemma is a treasure to cigar culture. As classy and refined as the finest products she represents ❤
You're the man Kirby you're the only one who lit the cigar with the soft flame. Everybody was using torches. I got to hand it to you. You are the cigar Aficionado .
@@reign_wwe I think Kirby learned it from the Sahakians.
It’s certainly part of the sales charm. The gold lighter, the metered, slow luxury. It got me- hook line and sinker! Just like you.
Haha, the professionals know it doesn't matter as long as you know what your doing that's why..
Sssssssssso what???
The ping and soft flame. How could you show up your hosts Kirby!!
Jemma Freeman is an exceptional woman, I enjoy listening to her talk about the history and I hope H&F will be able to continue.
I’m here to listen to Jemma who is a wonderful and gracious host.
They’re all amazing salesmen. But don’t discount Kirby, he could sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo. They’re ability to mold value around a stick of Tobacco is amazing.
@@PrybarCommandotheir, not theyre
Pure Class Kirby,I'm so proud of our English heritage,so glad you appreciate the good things in life like me.
Kirby is the best dressed dude on TH-cam. There is no one even close. Pure class.
Kirby, you capture the hearts and minds of Cigar lovers and enthusiasts all over the World... yet another outstanding episode in the cabinet of many.....
Thankyou too, to H&F in giving up their time so that we may enjoy their knowledge and expertise.
Anna gives such great explanations and Cuba’s QC control of cigars. Very intelligent lady. Enjoyed this video.
That’s an awesome suit you’re wearing Kirby. It contrasts very well with Jemma’s dress. Love the H&F Boardroom. Quality, Craftsmanship, & Tradition. Mr. Allison you nailed it again boss 🫡
They’re husband and wife. They’re obviously gonna coordinate their attire.
@@pascalsauvage2275 no, just good friends
What an educational video. Jemma is such a CLASSY LADY, loved her comments, and her explanation of the cigar industry. You can tell she really enjoys her cigars and her work.
I shall be trying this same new cigar myself at a cigar evening in my locality a few days from now, Kirby, so shall raise a glass to your continuing success.
Riveting as ever, Kirby! Can't thank you enough for the sneak-peek into H&F and the upcoming PL release. The 50 Cab is such a stunning presentation!!
Love this woman's voice and her serious knowledge of what's going on behind the scenes. Very cool.
That's a beautiful watch Kirby! Thank you for another great episode
What a wonderful discussion. It was a pleasure to listen to, thank you Kirby.
Jemma is a woman of the highest quality.
I feel so underdressed watching this elegant presentation. Wish friends and familymcould enjoy this hobby with me. Alas am the lone ranger and will enjoy each stick riding solo!
Loner.
JEMMA!
Excellent content & as always, an easy watch. Thank you for sharing with us!
Ever time Jemma in view I’m in…..the way he said the boardroom of hunters in a whisper was such a touch.
This conversation was an absolute delight to view. Thank you
Kirby, what a pleasure to listen to your conversation. The education and discovery you bring to get to know about cigars, the people behind it, the nuances, the history, the passion is just so charming in how you bring this to us it makes for riveting viewing. Thank you.
Discovering this hidden world with you is such a pleasure. Very nice suit too
Wonderful, educational, informative, truly great guests thanks Kirby and I am sure Hemingway was still around GF would have a leading roll in one of his spy books 😉
Fabulous content Kirby. Allows us the opportunity to learn and be a part of history that we may not have had otherwise. Keep up the great work!
Very kind!
The woman in purple even smokes beautifully. Very like to listen her
Thank you for another exceptional video Kirby. I'm very tempted to buy a box of the PL 47s myself!😍
Jemma is the epitome of class
Great segment, thank you.
Love the talk! Keep it up, Mr Allison.
Pure class ! Thanks!
Can we all agree that Jemma is one of the most beautiful women in the world? And I'm not just talking about physical looks
Jemmaaaaaa!!!! and a box of 50 Churchill size Por Larrañagas! Awesome video Kirby, please make more with Jemma :)
I know. What a gift to humanity!
Great video! Thanks :)
Looking forward to the UK launch night!
This is so interesting! Kirby really thank you for indulging us with so much interesting content. It is really unique and rare; I am really glad to have found your channel! And I don't even smoke cigars, yet. I don't know what it is but it pulls me in. I am seriously considering getting into the enjoyment of cigars and maybe even into collecting. But I don't know where to start. Is it better to start with the exquisite ones or is it not recommended and better to start with less well-known and less exquisite ones in order to appreciate and understand better what makes the exquisite ones so good? What do you guys think? What would you recommend to someone like me, or perhaps your past self if you could start all over the journey of cigars?
Excellent content Kirby!
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Yet another reason to visit UK. Need to go some day.
Just fantastic Brother.
Fabulous!
I really enjoy your channel Kirby! Could you do a review of the Liga Privada cigars. I’m an absolute fan of the H99. They really are exceptional.
the English lady is so regal
holy s...t! it was awesome!
They torched the hell out of their cigars
I'm be honest, i'll be blushing if I sitting beside Jemma 😊
The Por Laranaga Montre Carlo has to be my favorite quick smoke. I wonder what a Churchill would be like!
I love this.
I’d love to be able to find the Por petite coronas that seem to be hard to come by these days
The Prince of Wales is the best Churchil that I have ever smoked.
4 masters!
Amazing KA
!Eye candy Quartet; entertaining, instructiv, seductiv. Thank you!
I'm due to smoke this on it's day of release. Now I know what it will be, cheers 'mate'
11:40 😂😂😂 I’d be struggling too
The smoke of cigars in that room would make my throat hurt for a week.
It almost scares me, that I find Jemma Freeman just as appealing as I find Princess Grace. Even Princess Grace at her prime in the film High Society, sailing the model boat in that pool. How can this be? Grace Kelly was the most beautiful female specimen on earth, and here we are this cigar lady is taking my heart away. And I don't smoke at all. Is a lady exuding wisdom and class that transcends physical appearance? (I suppose that is the only answer)
Indeed 💯
I like ! I would test , but by drill look and form and the colour is good well !
I think this product is quality !
Pure cigarr good ! High costs is a model of only drill tabacco cigarrs ! The chosen is a daily or weekend smoke that to like for good evening or happening give over good ! Thx for product !
Je abodoment de Channel and like ! Bevore I took Dannemann , snd else rare in past ! Thank you !
The lady to your right is so beautiful and elegant. I know that’s not PC but wow. Perfection.
Jemma...!!!!!
I love these videos, amazing conversation as ever but I always feel such a disconnect from London and the rest of us in the UK. Cabinets of 50 are amazing and beautiful however this box costs nearly £5000! That is not a small amount of money, Its more than most will spend on a deposit for their car. I started smoking cigars around 2010 and the first regional box I bought was the Ramon Petit Belicosos for around £100. These PL are £100 each! Everything from Cuba / H&F recently is just aimed at collectors rather than smokers, over the last few years my cigar smoking has switched from 100% Cuban to now almost 100% new world which is a shame when I see all these lovely cigars I know my friends and I are never going to enjoy becuase they are so expensive and the collectors phone up the second they are released and buy up all the stock.
What percentage of the purchase price of a cigar goes back to the growers and those who worked in the fields and in the factories rolling them?
🔥🔥🔥
They should've made it... 47 cigars cabinet. I mean, isn't that obvious?
Kirby i have to tell you that you are very cute when you smoke a cigar 🤣🤣🤣
Jemma is a fit bird.
Thanks!
Stupid question from a beginner, but could I keep and age these in a desk-top humidor?
Of course. If you can Keep a proper humidity of 62-65 for aging
Kirby Hombre habano🎉
Does anyone know why Ana holds her thumb against the end of the cigar when she is not puffing on her cigar?
Slows the cigar burning itself and limits the burn. Enables you to smoke and enjoy the full cigar.
Interesting... never heard this before, but I like the idea!
@@pascalsauvage2275 watching her doing it made me think there is a certain reason for it. Thank you for the reply cause I will have to try that. Thanks again for the advice ❤
Its a shame they discontinued the Churchill size true the marcas.
what would be even more amazing, that all these distributors come together and make cigars accessible to not only the wealthy, but to everyone that would love to share the passion. I also love regionals and Limited editions. But the prices of entering the interesting market of cigars, it's unfortunately not for everyone. Let's share this with a broader audience.
I get your sentiment, but on the other hand there are many people who are working hard to make all this happen, especially in the country of origin, the farmers, the factory with its workers, the master blenders and so on. And I think it's important to value their hard work accordingly. It is not a cheap product and maybe it shouldn't be. I mean what are the possible consequences of making it cheap, I worry not positive ones. But from what I understand you can buy single sticks and those are always approachable price wise. You know, you most likely won't smoke something that exquisite daily and nor will you be able to purchase a cabinet full of 50 of them, but a single stick for a special occasion is always possible. But from what I understand there are many cigars with exquisite taste and quality that aren't expensive, so there might be a middle way for you, to not spend too much of your hard-earned money but still to be able to enjoy it to its fullest.
@@Kenny-yl9pc completely agree, I know I am very fortunate I can enjoy the higher echelon of cigars. very grateful and always generous to share the more unique finds.
the prices of cigars do not have anything to do with the pay of farmers, producers and rollers..... especially in Cuba. the very transparent price-hikes the last years have been solely for the state of cuba, and better margins for distribution.
I am also not promoting cheap.... as do you. My wish is just that for a 'newcomer' to the exquisite cigar world, there would be cubans that are exceptional and affordable.
Still my favourite 'give away' cigar to introduce is the San Cristobal El Principe. and have never had anything but praise from a first time smoker.
btw. I am lucky to still have quite a few boxes of the Siglo VI, but here in Canada the price per cigar is CAD $160.
@@Kenny-yl9pc what I always recommend.... smoke many different cigars to see what you like, and hang out with likeminded people for amazing conversations. but always make sure not to rush. as that will ruin everything you try. there are so many choices, and ao many price points.
cigars would you recommend at the lower price ranges, would be great to try a few
Don't waste your money on "Regionals". I have inside info that assures me they are the normal cigar with an 'extra band'....NO difference. You are asking yourself now...who is this "inside info"? I've been visiting Cuban since 2000 and have met and become friends with some of the most knowledgable people in the Cuban cigar industry. The Cuban cigar industry is not exactly known for being the most scrupulous group. It's all about getting the product out one door and the cash in the other. Now add the Chinese into the equation and you can only imagine what is happening !!!
It upsets me that corporate gets all the credit for these works of art. There has never been a mention of the individuals who actually roll these.
Ana an enciclopedia in Cuban Cigars.
Mr.Allison seems to enjoy his cigars perhaps he should try Jamaica cigars maybe not of quality of Havanas but not always more expensive means better it all depends on tests. also as he likes hats down St. James street is a famous shop of hats and very british perhaps he should visit at present i cannot remember the shop names
What’s the ticket on a cab of 50?
Bit of a mood killer with the labels "Smoking kills - quit now" and "Your smoke harms your children". But I enjoy nonetheless 😀
Kirby taking his time to enjoy that virgin puff. The others were straight into it lol.
Fk this is incredible
I'm here for the Sahakians😂
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼😎🇺🇸
Pass it I'll toke it..👍🏻✌
Nice video, but cigars in the UK are so overpriced - a 2 EUR cigar on EU mainland is like 10 GBP in UK - what a joke.
The tobacco tax in the UK is absolutely ridiculous.
Kirby is salivating like Pavlovs dog.
Por La-ra-ni-a-ga...
They got away from a cab 50 because people can’t afford it. When a box of 10 is 350-500 if not more, 50 is crazy for the regular guy who loves Cubans
For sure no question. But it is nice to see a Cab of 50 back in a limited way, even if it means that it will be out of reach for most people.
Not a single drink with the cigar?
Por larraña [+ ga] [the part you‘re missing]
Pls send me some!!
Let's see Paul Allen's cigar club.
Love watching classy women smoke cigars.
i hope arnaldo has apprentices
Quel kéké
Oh, yes, Henkel & Schwarzkopf, I know that!
