- In today's video, we sit down with legendary cigar connoisseur Ajay Patel of No. 6 Cavendish in London for an exclusive viewing of what could be one of the most intrinsically valuable cigar humidors in the world: the Trinidad Diplomaticos from the 1994 Cigar Aficionado Dinner of the Century.
Auctioned off at the 1994 Cigar Aficionado Dinner of the Century, the Trinidad humidor was the first time that the public had ever smoked the mysterious Trindad cigars from Cuba. Reserved exclusively as diplomatic gifts from the Cuban government, these cigars had been kept as a complete secret since their beginning in 1969 until their discovery by Marvin Shanken of Cigar Aficionado on a chance encounter 23 years later in 1992.
In this video, Ajay also shares with us several of the other incredible Trinidad humidors in his collection, spanning the entire commercial history of this renowned brand.

Kirby, I loved filming this with you. Watching it for the first time after filming. The detail you team captured was just amazing.
Listening back to the history again took me back in time.
Also, like to thank everyone who watches this video. We like to bring to everyone knowledge of the history that Habanos s.a makes and brings to the market.
Kirby thank.
The Patel family in business.
Having a couple cigars from the 90s in my humidors, this video raised my heart rate more than Id care to admit.
speechless, absolutely speechless
I actually have a box of one of the 1998 24 count Fundadores. They smell amazing
As always, great content Kirby, bravo Sir
Amazing episode!
Great vlog, I just wished Kirby has given his guest more time to talk ❤
What a name for a vitola, Cañonazo!
first another video with great aesthetics.
nice display of collectible and historical pieces.
you can certainly smoke whatever cigar you want.
will these ever be tested or will you leave them be. what has more value to you.
Best-dressed cigar guy on the internet.
Yes, Ajay is very posh. 😊
@@Joedirt3349 not particularly. he's normalish
Wow, but no free cigar smoke for you Kirby, that's not very polite, Kirby loves free ride!
Did I spot some mould on the box of 70 from ‘99? 😮
You can tell Ajay is more the business man in the cigar world, lots of numbers and statistics. Different vibe than the videos at Davidoff… I was hoping Kirby was going to be offered a cigar at least, bad form!
People don’t respect language anymore. Holy grail, literally, masterpiece, hilarious, genius.. it doesn’t mean anything anymore.
Only too true. Just hyperbole.
It’s literally the holy grail of Cuban cigars tho 😂
@@dudeman3186 don’t let yourself fall for some guys in expensive clothes talking about magical leaves. There’s nothing keeping anyone to reproduce the exact same blend with another brand. It’s pure marketing. 7 boxes and that’s it? Then what? They burned the plantation? Cmon..
@@lofimodaThanks for telling us that you have no clue what you’re talking about.
@@ogkushbreath8607 go ahead, give me a chuckle
Habanos Mabanos, These old Habanos are all the same, just stickers are different!
Kirby in the style of Benjamin Disraeli..
Could at least offered some refreshments if not a cigar
In a recent survey women class an interest in cigars as a big turn off when it comes to men. Nothing as unlimited as limited collections ;-)
Well..I shall not miss them.
Who the fuck cares what they think?
That GenZ guy is sketchier than Kirby man
Arturo Fuente is the best!
Do more research cohiba isnt the only lancero still available
Why not just smoke one?
Or 2
Probally because each one is worth thousands
One of these cigars has to be in the tens of thousands.
We are talking about Aj here. He will never do something like that lmao 🤣
The value is in a FULL humidor. Not one that’s been smoked from. It’s a shame really , they will just age away into flavorless rolls of leaves
I don't know, I don't trust you guys, this looks too suspicious!
