I actually think this might be the best cigar video on the internet. This guy knows what he is talking about. It's almost like he owns a cigar company ;)
This channel makes a certain popular, large format, glossy cigar magazine look like a comic book. I am ordering Perdomos today - and going to consider it my tuition.
Beautiful description of a very annoying problem. I haven’t had this happen very often in premium cigars, but when you cheap out, you’ll see it a lot. Thanks for the explanation, Nick!
Came across this channel a few months ago, yesterday, treated myself to a cigar, was at the local shop, saw the Perdomo logo, and bought one, found the video of how to properly light a cigar, and thoroughly enjoyed my smoking experience. Thank you 🙏
Great stuff. Always right on things. Your video on lighting cigar confirmed what i thought about the over torching. I even use a soft flame for the filler as to have a less hot flame or matches when its not windy. Also agreed on 62% to 65% humidity. Ive never had one of your cigars, but your videos have convinced me. A master marketer as another commentor said!
Nick, you are my cigar father. The 20th Anniversary Sun Grown was the 3rd box I ever purchased (2nd was a bundle of Perdomo Fresco). It was largely because of the way you exemplify what is great about the cigar industry that got me hooked.
I've been saying, for years, that rushing the growth of vegetables has a negative impact on quality. It didn't even occur to me that growers of tobacco were doing the same thing. In retrospect, it shouldn't be surprising. I like how Mr. Perdomo puts forth an effort in appearance, and clear communication. Gotta respect a guy who still breaks out a suit. It gives one the impression that he knows what he's talking about, and that he puts care and effort into his product. It's a good marketing strategy; I have every intention of trying a Perdomo cigar, at my earliest opportunity.
What a classy, intelligent tutorial. Much of your notes on craftmanship are arguments against so called bargain brands. Living in high desert, maintaining humidity is problematic. Over correcting has caused unhappy outcomes. Thanks for explaining why.
I can speak from personal experience, 9 out of 10 times when I've had an uneven burn, it has been without question my fault for lighting it wrong. I did have an interesting 'over humidified' experience. I was in Kuala Lumpur at Cigar Malaysia and there was a roller there doing freshly rolled full Indonesian sticks. The owner told all of us there that we could expect them to burn unevenly because, well, they'd JUST been rolled. Still, the opportunity to try a 'freshly rolled' cigar doesn't come along very often, so I got one. All things considered, it burned pretty well (he was doing the mini tubes thing you mention above, no bookends here) but it DID keep going out. Still, pretty interesting and a decent smoke.
I always turn my cigar while I'm toasting it up and then take a couple of puffs off of it and then blow it towards the lit side and I can get a good look at how its lit.
Fantastic tips, Nick. As a beginner I used to keep my cigars a little too humidified, which did cause combustion problems. Once I found a sweet-spot for my humidor, things got better. I've never had a Perdomo stick canoe on me and I've smoked nearly your entire catalog. Really like the factory tour blend recently.
Wow Nicholas, thanks man, that's awesome. Thank you so much for the kind words and for smoking Perdomo. That factory tour blend is great. I made them just for the tour but people enjoyed them so much that we had to release it.
Perdomo isn't one of my favorite cigars. Had 2 that burned badly but I blame that on the shop I got it from and 3 that I didn't enjoy the flavor of. That said I have had several that I did enjoy and most of my friends love them. Very informative video and I love his set up. I wish my smoking room was like his.
Very informative video. I have become quite the cigar enthusiast but have only been smoking them a few months. I have since invested in a high quality v-cutter, guillotine and punch. I also purchased a decent quality humidor with digital hygrometer and a 5 stick capacity travel humidor as I'm always on the go. My last major investment was a Cigar Dossier to record my experiences of daily smokes so this has become a serious hobby for me. While I have only had a few Perdomo smokes, I do recall how great of an experience I had with each one...most memorable was the 25th Anniversary Edition. I have had trouble being able to distinguish the different notes on my palette while smoking certain sticks and I clearly remember how "peppery" flavored that 25th Anniversary was towards the end. That one marked the very first time I was able to truly taste the essence of a fine cigar. Needless to say, there will always be Perdomos on rotation in my humidor. Great product Sirs and great tip Nick on pressing down on the foot of the uneven side before retouching. I will certainly try this with my next uneven burn*
Your channel has the highest production quality than any cigar channel. Keep it up. I see your channel growing. Smoke on. Also it isn't boring as shit.
Thanks man. We're growing because of great people like you supporting us. I appreciate the kind words too man. Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.
Nick. Just bought a 20th anniversary sungrown. Enjoyed it so much i went back and bought a box of them. Normally smoke oliva or Arturo Fuente. You have a convert now. Great job.
Nick, I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. as I have embarked on the cigar journey it’s good to have cigar guys like yourself sharing their cigar knowledge. P.S currently awaiting my first Perdomo Habano and can’t wait to try it. 👍🏼👍🏼
The more I watch the more I learn. You explain everything in great detail and you never cover anything up and that's why I enjoy these videos. Seeing how much quality control is put into your cigars, I'm gonna start smoking ONLY Perdomo cigars!!!!!!🔥💯😎
Very helpful tips! I usually smoke cigars three times a day. Out of a box of 25, will occasionally run into what you have touched upon. One work around that I discovered many years ago, is to trim the area that is not burning properly. Then relight. Your definitely 100% correct regarding that some cigars will unfortunately have to be discarded.
Mr. Perdomo, thank you again for a great cigar-educational video. Your family's products are iconic and have been part of my celebrations with many of my veteran friends when we all get together. I always have at least five Barrel-aged Sungrown Maduros in my humidor and use them as an example of what a great cigar should be. Thanks for all that you do for our beloved pastime.
Thanks for these information sessions. These are awesome. They are presented with zero pretentiousness and with a ton of great content. It's also nice knowing it comes from a real expert and not someone like me that just picks this stuff up second hand. I've loved your company for years, you are one of the favorite originals that continues to make world class cigars. The lot 23 is as good now as it was 15 years ago.
Matt, thank you for your kind words. We sincerely appreciate your loyalty for so many years. Our goal is to never let you down! We are glad you are enjoying the videos.
A couple weeks ago I came upon this video about tunneling here and the pushing down of the cigar to open it and burn properly. I came upon this today with my cigar and remembered this technique. It worked and was able to finish enjoying my cigar. Thank you, Mr. Perdomo!
Just found your channel. Thanks you so much. I started smoking a couple of years ago and learned some things on the fly because shyness wouldnt allow me to ask patrons on the cigar shop. Your channel reaffirmed some of my practices, taught me new practices, as well as gave me tips to prefect others. Thank you.
That's awesome to hear man. It's smokers like you that made us want to do this in the first place. Those guys in the lounge can seem very intimidating and hard to approach, but that's usually far from the truth.
Baseline Perdomos are some brands high end and dream achievement. 🤣🤣🤣 Love the Connecticut, sun grown, and maduros. The 10 year Connecticut Champagne blend is amazing and a favorite.
Thank you, I want to say I have been frustrated the last couple days. I am a semi novice smoker and I am truly thankful for this article/video. I have been experiencing just what your video expresses. I bought some very expensive cigars, for my budget Drew Estates ACID, and was so disappointed by the burning I had. So seeking some assistance this video made it clear what I was doing wrong. I light up many times to keep the ash going. Burning the bottom to get a better draw. Keep it going. No patience. It was burning uneven on three of the sticks I was using. I thought it was because of faulty rolling but learned it was ME. Today I had the best burn and consistent result by applying what Nick Perdomo stated. I am a follower as of this week. Thank you
When I light my cigar I use a strong torch about 4 inches apart from the cigar and torch the cigar until it lights itself, first I light the cigar or toast the cigar to mold the binder and wrapper together and then I rotate the torch without pulling on the cigar to the point where it lights itself and then I blow on the front end of the cigar and then start smoking; flavor preserved
Good, relevant information. Thank you. Despite my taking the time and care to light cigars, many is the time I have had to touch up a good cigar because it has decided to burn unevenly. So it goes, I suppose, when one consumes an organic, hand made product.
Perdomo is my go to cigar but smoked another “premium” cigar this evening. That $20.00 stick tunneled on me all the way. I’ll be back to Perdomo tomorrow night. 👍🏼
Thanks Nic...another great video from the Cigar Professor. That was a pro tip on how to fix tunneling by pushing the stick on 5he ashtray. Definitely gonna add that technique to my arsenal. 😤
Appreciate the tip re: 'over-humidifying', which I tend to set a little higher anyway to 'compensate' for Arizona's uber-dry desert climate that often seems to suck the moisture outta everything as soon as it leaves the humidor. Though sounds like my own frequent 'canoeing' issues could mean I'm 'over-compensating' a bit in the humidity dept ...Grazie!
I tend to rotate my cigar as I draw on it; another reason for the tunneling is that when you pull most of the air when you're pulling on the cigar is at the bottom of the cigar, so when I start tunneling at the bottom of the cigar rotate the cigar and start pulling on that side and after about a minute or two of pulling it begins to burn evenly
Not sure if this has been asked but what about using a perfect draw to open up the cigar? I find that sometimes it helps when there are issues. As always you provide good info. Some of these issues can’t be easily identified and it does ruin the cigar smoking experience. I hope that not too many tobacco farmers are speeding the process up but I do understand the economics side of why they might do it.
I have never tried the perfect draw but it might be something to look into for future videos. The deep V cut can sometimes remedy filler bunching issues.
,Great video. The 10th Anniversary Champagne is by far my favorite. But I have to ask. What ever happened to the Perdomo Remainders. Outstanding cigar for the price in the yard and on the golf course.
The best sauce in the world comes out of her pot that's buffalo back in the day when the water was great and beautiful tomatoes same thing with a nice age musty semi sweet little spicy little natural coco coffee that my favorite profile of a cigar nice creamy meaty smoke my friend
I get this so often with Fuente cigars. Also Fuentes have some sort of hard center almost seems like a piece of wood in the center. Perdomo is pretty solid however my father and I have had the HSV Sun Grown and the wrapper is super fragile.
Thank you for the information. I just finished a stick with a one-sided burn in the first third that I probably would have had to touch up repeatedly. Your technique worked and the rest of the stick was totally acceptable.
I've found that about any cigar burns uneven for me if I have the driver side window open while driving. Especially when going 55+. Operator error of course but have learned to hold the cigar in my right hand while driving.
I just got serious about my cigar love and this is problem that is happening to me and this video truly helps ! I have yet to have a Perdomo cigar but they will be next purchase my favorite lighter and cutter is the Perdomo torch and cutter set and a good set I love it !
Very interesting video, i had no idea that the 1st point affect the burn. Plus the tips are very helpful! I place the uneven part down and touch up if it happens but next time this happen i am going to try the push method too. Thank you for these great videos. Kindest regards Al janabi
Hey Nick...great vid..very informative...?..are you from the Philadelphia area?...your accent sounds like mine...born and raised in the city..thank you again for being a leader in this great hobby of cigars🤙💨💨
Hello Nick Perdomo and Perdomo Cigars! Great video, great channel and really nice to get closer to the genius behind the brand! I have a suggestion for videos, i would love to see all currently produced Perdomo cigars described on this channel. I think it would be great videos, great info and good for customers to get a sense of the product line!
Thank you NP for your suggestion on the book opening push of a cigar that has a wonky burn it worked wonders on the cigar that I’m smoking today. Alas it is not a Perdomo cigar. But then I’ve never had an issue with a Perdomo cigar having a wonky burn.
Nick thank you for the recommendation on the Maduro Robusto when I was at your Miami Garden, Florida location back in the early/mid 2,000. Also you got me hooked on the Cuban coffee. I need to come down again next time I’m in the area. Maybe I do the tour on the factory when things get back to normal.
One thing I’ve noticed, with well constructed cigars, when I get uneven burn that I can rotate it and hold it in a single position and smoke it there until it catches up. It only works with cigars that are well made.
Cigars are such a work of art. Very underappreciated.
Absolutely Kent.
Totally agree brother. Smoke on and enjoy. I know I am right now!
Your wrong a lot of us millennials smoke them also most recent high school graduates have been smoking them
@@spasplash156 yup

You speak the truth Robert, 90% of the time it's due to a bad light. Your experience in Indonesia sounds fun, might have to give that a try myself.
I always turn my cigar while I'm toasting it up and then take a couple of puffs off of it and then blow it towards the lit side and I can get a good look at how its lit.

Someone just can’t go wrong with a Perdomo cigar. Nick is an artist.
When I light my cigar I use a strong torch about 4 inches apart from the cigar and torch the cigar until it lights itself, first I light the cigar or toast the cigar to mold the binder and wrapper together and then I rotate the torch without pulling on the cigar to the point where it lights itself and then I blow on the front end of the cigar and then start smoking; flavor preserved
I use the same method. Toasting the foot of the cigar then rotating 360 degrees to ensure an even light.
Try doing it while you sing...the wheels on the bus go round and round...

Very interesting video, i had no idea that the 1st point affect the burn. Plus the tips are very helpful! I place the uneven part down and touch up if it happens but next time this happen i am going to try the push method too. Thank you for these great videos.
Kindest regards

Hey Nick...great vid..very informative...?..are you from the Philadelphia area?...your accent sounds like mine...born and raised in the city..thank you again for being a leader in this great hobby of cigars🤙💨💨
My family left Cuba we went to Baltimore. Pretty close to Philly, which by the way I love also.
Greatly appreciated! This explained a lot.
Happy we can help Teddy, thanks for watching.
Hello Nick Perdomo and Perdomo Cigars! Great video, great channel and really nice to get closer to the genius behind the brand! I have a suggestion for videos, i would love to see all currently produced Perdomo cigars described on this channel. I think it would be great videos, great info and good for customers to get a sense of the product line!
That's a great idea Kent. We're working on a format to best produce that type of video.
Thank you NP for your suggestion on the book opening push of a cigar that has a wonky burn it worked wonders on the cigar that I’m smoking today. Alas it is not a Perdomo cigar. But then I’ve never had an issue with a Perdomo cigar having a wonky burn.
Nick thank you for the recommendation on the Maduro Robusto when I was at your Miami Garden, Florida location back in the early/mid 2,000. Also you got me hooked on the Cuban coffee. I need to come down again next time I’m in the area. Maybe I do the tour on the factory when things get back to normal.
Around 20 of the 10th anniversary Connecticut left in my humidor, best ever
What an awesome humidor please do a review on that monster!
That sounds like a great idea.
Love these videos! I learn something in every one.
You are a class act Nick. Love your cigars.
Great video. Beautiful humidor. And nick is dressed very sharp. Makes me want to smoke a cigar surrounded by leather bound books
One thing I’ve noticed, with well constructed cigars, when I get uneven burn that I can rotate it and hold it in a single position and smoke it there until it catches up. It only works with cigars that are well made.
