Mr. Allison, I can see your excitement and it jumps over to me. So great to see this, giving us a tour of your house and finally the cigar and the smoke. Simply great. I can't wait to see Edward and Eddy joining you in this fabulous environment.
Love the drawings on the doors. Brings back memory's. Wait till the children are bigger... the TV's, they each want a "channel" of their own. ... by they way my wife would kill me when I'm "home improving" in my best clothes. And congratulations for the nomination!
Kirby, what a fantastic video again, providing a true glimpse into the life of a gentleman. Congratulations on the new home and wishing you many years of future happiness. I look forward to seeing this marvelous system in action and hopefully, in good company with the Sahakians.
Congratulations Mr Allison! This is such a beautiful living space! Pay attention to your extractor hood above the kitchen oven - it may interfere with your air flow against cigar smoke... as well as gas heaters! (Extremely Dangerous!!!) Good luck to you and your family in this extraordinary house!
This is so cool! Congrats on the beautiful home. I always only smoke indoors as well and all I use a Rabbit Air 😅 i figured eventually I'll need to repaint the room to get the smell fully cleaned out. I would love to have a better air filtration system...but all good. Cheers Kirby
Wow, I thought I was an air quality nerd and ahead of the curve with my 4-inch MERV 12s and HEPA portables in each room. I'm humbled after seeing this - you sir are are on another planet when it comes to optimizing air quality. Hats off to you!
You are crazy Kirby ... I work for CAMFIL and I sell these types of products to industrial customers. We can all feel that this smoke filtration system has been a struggle for you, but your dedication and perseverance have been truly inspiring ;)
I can't say it enough but please keep doing what you and your team are doing. This type of content is purely exceptional no matter what people may say. Side note: I hope you are given the communications award that you were nominated for! You deserve it.
Well done for all your efforts. I was surprised the company didn’t come out to do a final setup, install and check it was AOK. It did make me laugh thinking how much you must have spent on all that equipment and then seeing you using some dollar saw to cut up the white plastic pipe. Let’s hope the boss ( Mrs A ) is pleased with it. Otherwise it’s out in the backyard for a smoking adventure with Eddie and Edward when they make a visit.
Kirby, excellent video. Very interesting topic. I really enjoyed the subtle humor mixed in the sharing of your HVAC adventure. I suggest a slightly more comfortable outfit while working in the attic. Possibly jeans, polo shirt and deck shoes would reduce the wear & tear of your nice suit. That said, I liked your extreme dedication to formal attire in any case. You asked your viewers if we are in interested in seeing a whole house tour once all your new furnishings are in? Yes, please. You also asked what furniture would we recommend for your new sitting/smoking room? I would suggest a traditional leather couch and two matching leather chairs. The leather would hold up better with the kids and absorb less smoke than the typical fabric upholstery. Keep the videos coming. Thanks Eric
I love that Kirby fully commits to the suit thing...if I'm working in the attic it's running shorts and a T-shirt...my man up there in a pair of trousers and dress shoes that probably cost a months salary for me LOL!
Hi Kirby, I would look at Fleming & Howland for furniture. Very elegant and well crafted pieces. Not sure if anything is in your style, but worth a look.
Wow a lot of one step forward and two back. I’m suprised this wasn’t planned better but ah well that’s construction 😅. I really hope for your sake it actually works as intended. Interested in the “home” version of the camfil. These guys seem to know how to clean air 🍻
Kirby, that is a very impressive setup you have there, great work. I would suggest one thing, I am not familiar with the ionic air cleaner you are using, but I would advise against using ionized air anywhere in your home. They create free radical molecules, which are said by some to be dangerous to your health; just a thought. I look forward to seeing how this system works in practice now that it is all set up and ready to go!
I was told that this didn’t create ozone… but I’m going to call the manufacturer to better understand how it works. HVAC guys that sold it to me didn’t convince me they truly understood how it works.
@@kirbyallison it would be good know to know for sure, just for peace of mind, especially because it could effect your family. Hopefully one day we'll see you and the Sahakians putting your new system to the test!
i was looking for your sychronika when you panned to the kitchen. i just got mine and i am in love. i am a big fan of mcm so i would normally recommend eames, corbu, and mies furniture. guessing its not your vibe 🙃
I would have enclosed the patio and added a separate heating/cooling system out there. But, this is still really interesting and has applications beyond just smoking. A system like this would potentially be useful for welding, soldering, woodworking, painting or many other things inside your house.
I'm in the same boat, and have been looking at Roger + Chris for some leather club chairs. I think the Harley would be a good fit for Kirby's house / aesthetic, as it is a blend between the traditional and modern looks.
Just discovered your channel in recommendations. I deal with air quality, humidity, temp systems, etc. in ops at the world's largest archive of computer artifacts in the U.S. as a small part of my job and have never heard of this. We use a combo solution from Japan and Austria. This is an interesting home-use scenario.
Hi Kirby. Long time watcher, first time posting. Looks like you have it figured out. Congrats. It looked like you had a dm humidor setting in the one room. I’m waiting on a custom humidor from dm. Should be here by Monday. Good luck with the project…
@@kirbyallison hey Kirby I’ve seen conflicting info about seasoning a dm humidor. I’m seeing if I should or shouldn’t lemme know what you would do. As I’ve never heard not to season a humidor. Thanks
I just run it through the HVAC with filters on the intakes and a couple of air purifiers in the other rooms. Luckily my wife doesn’t complain about the smoke.
Kirby, I have you to blame for my recent purchase of an Omega Speedmaster chronoscope. I needed an appropriate watch for my planned bespoke Jean Rousseau watchband 😎
@@kirbyallisonDuke's a handsome lad. We've had five: Maggie, Hugo, Rosie, Lady and now Ivy. Ivy is 2 and she's a little pistol. Scotties are the best. And Labradors. Can't forget the Labradors.
Kirby, I can't stop laughing, cutting that vent pipe like a boss. LOL LOL We must be related. That's exactly how I would do it, get rid of this fing thing that's in my way.
Lou… can’t stand him. Absolutely hated having to build a house with that guy. Unfortunately, he was the only one with lots in the neighborhood we wanted to buy in.
Texas weather is extreme in both directions. Just dumping it outside would massively increase his heating and cooling costs and reduce comfort in the rest of the house.
The chairs you and Mr Cundey were sat in on suit to shoot episode 13 would go nicely in there. However, living in the English countryside im a sucker for a wing back blood red leather armchair.
Have you thought about an Energy Recovery Ventilator to bring fresh air into the house or specifically the smoking room? ERVs bring in fresh air from the outside, but they're designed to temper the air to the temperature and humidity from inside to save energy and comfort. Even if you're filtering particulates out of the air, you'll want to bring in more oxygen and expel the carbon dioxide. The HVAC systems sound oversized for new construction; 9-9.5 total tons is extreme, even for a very large house. The measurement of that is a true Manual J calculation. But if you wanted to add another unit just for the primary suite, you might consider an inverter-driven heat pump, which would work great in Texas. Lots of good building science content creators out there that you could do a crossover with!
Yes! The fresh air delivery is the weakest link of the entire system. I’ll look into an ERV. I find it frustrating that there isn’t more sophistication behind residential HVAC.
Dang, feel like it will inevitably end up being a problem since it's all open with the rest of the house. Sure everything will help, but ultimately it won't be nearly as controlled as it should be for an indoor smoke. Even with the isolated room, I'm sure that room would still smell. It'll never be 100% perfect
After having used it, smoke certainly leaks out. However, if I leave the Camfil running overnight, there is absolutely zero odor anywhere in the house. Totally cleaned up.
I look forward to Edward and Eddie surveying the new space! Congrats to you Kirby, it is indeed a "happy place"
When the Sahakian family visits the cigar lounge will truly be inaugurated.
Be truly majestic if the sahakians visit Kirby in his smoke room and all seductively smoke each other's cigars
Mr. Allison, I can see your excitement and it jumps over to me. So great to see this, giving us a tour of your house and finally the cigar and the smoke. Simply great. I can't wait to see Edward and Eddy joining you in this fabulous environment.
One day!
my mans is in an attic with suspenders on. lolll. never change kirb!
It is his trademark
Mows the lawn with a three piece too baby!
I strive to be like him ❤
High waisted pants with suspenders are superior workwear. Look at overalls, they're basically that with a little extra
I am very happy for you Mr. Allison! Now you can smoke inside without any problems!
It is a dream come true!
Beautiful air filtration system Kirby, I’ve been in the filtration industry almost 20 years now and I get just as excited as you my guy! Congrats! 🤘
Wow Kirby you really threw in the kitchen sink and everything else with it. Great job, nice tour of your house can't wait to see your walk-in humidor.
Kirby -- you are truly The Man. Who else would play such cheerful music in a video about ductwork!
Love the drawings on the doors. Brings back memory's. Wait till the children are bigger... the TV's, they each want a "channel" of their own. ...
by they way my wife would kill me when I'm "home improving" in my best clothes.
And congratulations for the nomination!
I remember finding the Hanger Project as a youth.. Now as a car collector and a 4-Toro-a-day smoker, love to see this system you installed.
Beautiful house/home Kirby. Congratulations!
I gotta hand it to you Kirby; you are not afraid to tackle anything. Great show! God Bless you
Kirby the only chairs suitable for smoking cigars on are leather Chesterfields.
Absolutely correct!
Kirby, what a fabulous home! Congrats to you, sir!
Kirby! This is brilliant. Congratulations are in order!
Kirby, what a fantastic video again, providing a true glimpse into the life of a gentleman. Congratulations on the new home and wishing you many years of future happiness. I look forward to seeing this marvelous system in action and hopefully, in good company with the Sahakians.

Yes. Air exhaust can cause more problems than they solve.
you are just truly a legend !! I love to see the look on your face opening the filters !!
Aren’t they amazing!
Happy for you Kirby! All the Best! Enjoy some wonderful Havana cigars!
I've never seen someone geek out over HVAC this much in a video. But congratulations Kirby.
Beautiful home, man. Congratulations
Congratulations Kirby! Another dream fulfilled. Can't wait for the first smoking video in the new space, perhaps with the Sahakians. Cheers!
Beautiful home🏡Congratulations

…and I’m still obsessing!
Kirby that is one serious unit but more so, your new place looks amazing. Very classy and sophisticated color palette and furnishings. Well done 👍
Thank you! Still have some work to do… but getting close!
I'll look forward to the updates! Love every one of the videos and haven't missed one yet @kirbyallison
The dedication to indoor cigar smoking is obscenely commendable.
It is obscene. I agree. But utterly fantastic.
Congratulations!
Great design and ingenuity! Definitely a labor of love ❤️ Congratulations!🎈🎉🍾🎊
Congratulations Kirby your home is beautiful, happy smoking
You are crazy Kirby ... I work for CAMFIL and I sell these types of products to industrial customers.

You guys make the best stuff! Why not use it residentially?? 😅
Congratulations Kirby!!

Some nice leather Chesterfield wingback Armchairs would suit that smoking room.

I tell her that we’ll have the cleanest indoor air in dallas… the only condition is being able to smoke. Haha.
This was an awesome watch
Camfil rep in Ohio - this is one hell of a residential application! Well done Kirby!
Glad you like it!!

Congratulations on the new house!
When is the walking humidor video coming?
Should be out already! If not
Already, soon!
Will you be filming from your new smoking room?
Really wonderful job on the house.
Lol when Kirby goes in the attic he still wears a suit
That's the Terry Haste jacket. Looking good.
What a man! Love it!
I love that Kirby fully commits to the suit thing...if I'm working in the attic it's running shorts and a T-shirt...my man up there in a pair of trousers and dress shoes that probably cost a months salary for me LOL!

You are indeed completely, truly and utterly insane, I whole heartedly approve.
Time for Eddie and Edward to visit and enjoy a Davidoff together.
Is Kirby trying to suggest, to paraphrase Ric Flair, his suits and his shoes cost more than his old house? 😂
King Kirby
I'm sure that you spent a pretty penny on this system. I'm surprised that a HVAC tech didn't come out to install those filters.
No advertising partnership on this one, unfortunately. But they are kind to entertain me… this is far beneath their standard applications
Love your place by the way!
Anything for content! 👏👏
A bit of sweat equity, I like it.

Brown or Green Leather Chesterfield Chairs, way to go! 😃
You are insane! Up in your attic in your bespoke clothes! lol. I wish I grew up with you. You’re so fun to watch.
Mr. Allison, your crazy. Thank God for that. Keep pursuing the world of Quality, Craftsmanship and Tradition. 👏👏👏
lovely house kirby !
Great system, I have a carbon filter for my allergies. But doesn´t the efficiency of the filters decrease as the volume of air increases?
Yes. Which is why this thing is MASSIVE.
You have a beautiful home
impressive fully insulated attic with spray foam
Gotta love just cutting the bathroom vent to make it work :D. At least that's an easy fix.
I love a big brown leather couch or armchairs for the smoking room, maybe take a look at Jeremy Siers smoking room, that's a piece of inspiration!

He use only suits.. than throw it to thrash and buy new ones.. he actually have barcodes still sticked to his boots if you look closely in this video

Yes. I have other stuff. Just didn’t want to disappoint anyone by ruining the mystique.
Honestly, jury is out on this one

I could probably do it better than most of the guys out there…
What do we have here? Other than glorious beauty 😂 great video Kirby.
Kirby you should try out a mustache. I bet you would make it more refined than ever.
Not sure if the filter is going to work at all given the change for the open concept… probably needs to be enclosed to work well.
What happened to the walk in humidor?
It’s at the office.
All that amazing effort and the final filter you put in was not the right size? 🤣Honestly a really great video and setup. Thanks for sharing
That was just to catch carbon particles that exhaust when you first turn on the filter.
@@kirbyallison understood, and you did mention that in your excellent video, I just thought it was humorous. Enjoy the great 💨

Is it big enough for all your smokes?
Big enough for me!
@@kirbyallison just making sure.
Maybe I missed it, but why the expensive filtration system? Why not just direct it outside?
