Cigar Keep: The Best Place For Cuban Cigar Lovers | With Tom Chamberlin

- In today's video, Kirby sits down with good friend Tom Chamberlin, editor of the Rake Magazine under normal circumstances. However, today they are discussing a new venture for Tom, which is the new Cuban cigar forum, Cigar Keep.
Cigar Keep is a website tailor-made for the global community of Cuban cigar smokers. A place for reading, reviewing and trading as a means to connect one another through our mutual passion for Cuba’s greatest export.
The site allows you to create your own profile and content about cigars, show other users your cigar collection and visa-versa, providing access to the owner’s market in a manner that has hitherto been non- existent. Once signed up, details can be added such as the contents of your humidor, the accessories you have, favorite places to buy, to smoke and a rating system so you can review cigars you have recently tried. Whereas there are websites that sell cigars via auctions or other means, Cigar-keep.com shall not hold stock but simply provide the conduit between collectors.
For more information, visit the Cigar Keep website.

I absolutely agree about the generosity of the community. On my last birthday I was at a lounge and I was gifted a cohiba siglo vi. Absolutely amazing smoke and experience.
Kirby's drip has been on point recently. Awesome channel, great content.
17:08 - Kirby is thinking 'you dirty dog, you!'
I love cigar series ! Keep it up
More great cigar content forthcoming!
Gentlemen, excellent content and excellent banter. I am a mid-level cigar user from the United States. I love the concept of the Cigar Keep site (and potentially future app). I'd love to see if it ever evolved to include those of us with limited/no contact with Cuban cigars and instead make much use of Dominican/Nicaraguan/Ecuadorian cigars. Best to you both and I'm so very thankful for your hard work!
I love these cigar videos. I’ve never smoked a cigar in my life and I don’t plan on doing it either. Still love the videos!
I enjoy cuban cigars but with the extreme price hikes I will be refraining from going broke buying any now. I really enjoy Dominican cigars of late. The davidoff dominican is fantastic.
Great video as always, I appreciate the work that goes in to these videos.
Thank you gentlemen, that was thoroughly enjoyable.
Keep up the amazing work. I look forward to the next videos.
It was interesting to observe the way you two smoked your cigars quite different of a ceremony but it’s fascinating to observe the distinctions that somewhat relate to show how you smoke your cigar in a way is how you are per say almost like smoking your cigar projects a bit of you in other words you can really gauge someone by the way they smoke a cigar. Fascinating and it’s fascinating to partake in watching.
Tom is great! Please keep up your conversations with him! Great work Kirby! Cheers!!
Bravo, Chaps! Thoroughly entertaining, as always!! 🔥🎩
Hey Kirby, great video as always. Was in London recently and had to make a visit to Davidoff of London, incredible experience.
What a marvellous video. I love the efforts you’re making to encourage the cigar community. Fun, open and relaxed. Please be bold and aim to set up an event or two for next year. I live in London and would love to meet others who’ve fallen into this wonderful pastime
Also davidoff isn’t in the drop down menu on cigar keep options 😮
That's a splendid looking windowpane check you have there, Kirby. I don't recall seeing you wearing that before.
Always great to hear what Tom has to say
Thanks Kirby I love your content, its 'truly unique' ; )
I cherish watching these lovely chats between gentlemen. Thank you for the excellent content. You've really taken production to another level.
Another great video Kirby, way to make Texas proud.
I do like listening to tom chamberlin, 💚💚👍👍
I live in Italy and have access to Cuban cigars. They're overrated and if it wasn't for the embargo people wouldn't put them on a pedestal.
Just became a member of Cigar Keep. Just started again with longfillers, my humidor consists right now of 3, cigars that is :)
To your post production guy: Nice vocal EQs with that boost in the 11-14k kHz. (Also, I'm open to offer some knowlege with color as it pertains to shot matching the different camera angles)
Thoroughly enjoyed watching! Checked out the newly launched platform and, even though I am not a collector, will keep an eye on it. Ha ha :)
Great show. Kirby I think you are the man to have good chat with Edward about his passion for rum. Would love to learn more about that.
I love the change of shirt collar, still hoping to see you don a true spearpoint one day
Excellent content as always!
I would like to add that Terra Magica was released as Regional Edition for Croatia, not Italy. The name "Terra Magica" comes from ancient Roman which was the name for our largest peninsula Istria. Istria is a famous tourist destination known for beautiful cities and villages, excellent wine, olive oil and truffles.
You can still find Terra Magica in some places so consider this as an invitation to Croatia, which is an extraordinary country for holiday!
Yes that makes a lot of sense. I wondered if the Adriatic coast meant both sides of that corridor so thank you for the clarification
@@tfchamberlin I can understand the confusion. Their regionalization makes me wonder too quite a lot. For example, the new El Rey Del Mundo Grand Marshall is released as Regional Edition Balkans. Croatia is one of the Balkan countries but from what halfwheel says, it will be available only in Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania. Strange but it is at least a good excuse for more traveling!
brilliant fascinating enlightening
Kirby, habe you ever thought about doing some content about wines and tastings ? There are plenty of winemakers that would be pleased to have you coming to their estate, tell you about the wines they make and give you the opportunity to taste and discuss about it. There is a lot to be learnt and enjoyed out there. Cheers.
Second this
Untappd for cigars. Great idea.
I would love to see a Cigar App similar to Leafly.
Kirby you should come to Cambridge (UK), I’d happily show you around our College and Colleges :)
Sounds like a great site and idea. How about an app so I can check out what I like on the move, log and pick spots to smoke on the run?
Always have a tik about people that don't unbutton the jacket then there sat down ... Great chat chaps .
Its 'His Majesty' now...
Yes unfortunately this was filmed prior to Her Late Majesty’s passing.
Question for @Thomas Chamberlin - will you be amending the cigar logging frame so that one can log numbers less than a box worth? First of all boxes vary in content and secondly one gradually smokes through the box! For example I’ve 20 left of my Partagas Series 2, but the site won’t let me put that number in, and so I either have to state a box or 20 boxes.
Many of us will look forward to the Cuban Cancer Cruise!
Yes, this is an excellent comment and a brilliant point. And it is also being addressed. Thank you for raising
Have you ever bought a suit from logsdale in New York? I would love to see a video on that I have seen that bespoke shop featured before period but I would love to see your take on it
I really enjoy the cigar content. Being from Dallas as well I find it hard to cigar friends. I've always been a bit of an old soul but overwhelmingly people my age seem to just not enjoy it.
Ditto. Kirby should start a local smoking gathering. Or we should.
@@yayayaokoksure are you from the Dallas location?
@@WatchWatchlist yessir!
Thx kirby this video gives me an excuse to smoke my Churchill Ramon Allones
I'm smoking the AJ Fernandez
👍👍💯
😂 Kirby is plastered!
Interesting idea, though I wonder if people would like to reveal what treasures they own.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kirby, next time you are in Mexico lets have a cigar in Polanco, i would love to chat with a proper Dandy of this century
What site would you recommend that have guaranteed shipping?
Does anybody know what has happened to the Cigar Keep website? I haven't seen a new article for 3 months and they disabled the cigar trading?
I don’t know about the ability to trade cigars via the site. I would not send any cigars without some hefty security and verification measures in place. Cause this will invoke fraudulent behavior.
Tom, is that your library or is it another location?
great idea but i just listend to an american greed podcast about scammers in the vintage wine industry who would counterfeit labels etc
Should be thought in college
The art of conversation
Is Cigar Keep only for Cuban cigars, or does it also allow for New World cigars?
Initially Cubans but we will not be ignoring New World for long.
@@tfchamberlin Good call. New worlds have caught up & surpassed cubans. Its criminal to still tout cubans as the be all end all
@@christophersuchy3632they are though. New world is like poison compared to aged Cubans.
@@SandroMagna L take
@@christophersuchy3632 huh?
Great discussion... I have entered my cigar collection into Cigar Keep. Mate, I don't know, maybe its just me... I find it incredibly difficult to engage with.
Message me about it on Cigar keep and let’s see what’s missing for you
Kirby! A cigar smoker myself I’ve had many Cubans, and many cigars considered “new world”.. May I ask, is it just the lack of availability that draws you to Cuban cigars? I’ve had many cigars that did not come from Cuba that were far better than anything habana has put out. Just curious for the specificity of Cubans being your preference.
100% this. I live in Italy and have access to Cuban cigars. They're overrated and if it wasn't for the embargo people wouldn't put them on a pedestal. I buy Padron cigars from the states because a $8 Padron 5000 maduro is better value than ANY Cuban. That includes the 2017 Limited edition Cohiba's I bought in 2018 for 41 EURO per stick.
I would pick a cheap Partagas Aristocrat over any new world cigar. New world cigars are like poison, be it Fuente or Padron. Jesus christ. I don't understand how people enjoy the crap. Cuban cigars are by far and beyond better tasting. With age and rest, they're unmatched.
An Arturo Fuente Don Carlos or crappy Drew Estate #9/T52 for more than Partagas D4/E2/P2, Montecristo #2/Especiales #2, Bolivar Belicosos Finos, Romeo y Julieta Short/Wide Churchill, Punch Punch etc? Gtfo.
Why aren't you guys lighting up while chatting?
Hey Mr. Allison, I enjoy your video. However, I will be 2 years sober on thanksgiving morning.
Would you have any interest in more content on non alcoholic drinks?
Works if you work it
A great suggestion. Hopefully one that Kirby acts upon eventually. I personally would like to see more coffee at home content.
There is a huge community of people who collect Opus X in America.
RHODES ISLAND GREECE 1ST
I spoke too soon before you lit up:(
Why does Kirby have a problem with a Canadian having a better collection?
Where is your favorite place to smoke a cigar in New York City? Are there any great lounges in there that you know of?
Is Cigar Keep worried about Cuban counterfeits? That’s the biggest cigar problem in the USA. You also have all these online stores from Hong Kong, Switzerland and others. Are they real Cuban cigars? How do you know? Many, many times their prices are so cheap that it’s hard to believe. Look forward to hearing back from you.
Seems like a fun idea for a website, I must say.
But to be honest Cuban cigars are one note and a quite boring smoke. There is much more interesting stuff coming out of Nicaragua and Honduras for instance. With more richness in taste and variety of taste through the progression of the cigar. And at a price point that is far superior at that.
Looking forward to your video interview with Jemma Freeman of H and F. Have you considered a video with Richard Patterson?

a good whiff of the ol cancer.
None drinker 😂
Never use the word "avid" in your vocabulary.
It's synonymous with "I'm just a big cockwomble".
Why?
I take exception with you promoting Cuban cigars when one would consider what has been going on there for over 60 years. Shameful
What are you smoking? No need to talk politics. You think the USA or England have a squeaky clean history? Doesn't mean you should boycott basketball, eating hamburgers or stop playing cricket and enjoying meat pies. It's about bringing people together not reminding them of repression.
They mentioned this concept before briefly like on Faulkes and then never again, zero advertising....
I am actually making a digital smoking lounge in meta… I feel attacked. 3:40
