I tried the oliva black swan yesterday and was totally blown by it, it's prob my 3rd fav oliva next to Melanio and serie v. So much flavor and I love the creamy smoke texture

I was also just reading some companies out of the country will ship Cuban cigars discreetly like putting them in certain packages, removing the bands and shipping the bands separately etc. to make it passed customs it could be another way Cuban cigars are getting into the USA easily.

Take nice video, thanks for the tips.

Good cigars but C.A. certainly has great merit in its well-deserved success, at least in Europe.

Nice work 👍

Oh wow, that may be the highest I've seen you rate a cigar! Also the translation of Mi querida - it isn't just in Nicaraguan culture but Spanish in general I think. I recall asking a Spanish mate of mine about it and they were kind of like "woah, I'd be mindful how I use that" and proceeded to explain it something similar to you! 😂

These smoke beautifully construction wise every time

great review!

I know its a sore spot, but I have had plume and its not mold. Have about 6 really special sticks Im saving for milestones and have had plume in them. The wrappers are a little faded but they wiped easily. Thanks for the vid! 💨

Triqui Traca is pronounced just like this: "tricky track-a". It's hard to go wrong with anything from the Mi Querida line.

Great advice. Good to hear suggestions from a real user. Enjoying your videos a lot.

Alec Bradley's Black Market bands are brilliant and their tobacco a delight.

Very cool topic, thanks for sharing. I like the artwork on the My Father cigars, however I also like simple bands like Montecristo as well. 👍 Take care and Cheers!

1. My favorite band designs are the simplest. 1 or 2 colors, simple rectangular diecuts (Cohiba), that kind of thing. 2. Been saving bands for over 25 years. Have 2 liquor bottles full.

Interesting. I prefer more elaborate, colorful bands, such as La Aroma de Cuba, some Alec Bradley bands, like the Prensado, and the San Cristobal line. I tend to be more interested in trying a cigar if its band is appealing. But, I've learned not to judge a book (cigar) by its cover (band). Cheers!

It wouldn't work to have a collection. I love to smoke but my husband smokes more than I do. I had a full box of cigars and by the time I woke up a fourth of those were gone.the next day.

Hey Jim, great video again, very interesting. Love your channel and your content. Always pleased when I see you've dropped a video. Take care 🖖

Love this cigar Jim. The flavor is spot on and with the toro size, great Sat morning cigar. Thanks so much!!

Great video! Thanks for the excellent content!

The Oliva G was my first cigar. Thanks so much for your content.

Excellent review! I have added this cigar to my list to pick up. Thanks for the great content!

Thanks for the review. I watch your review while smoking. I am adding this cigar to my list to pick up. Please keep up the good work!!

Great content! Thanks for taking the time to share.

Thanks so much for your content! You are my go to channel. I am going to give this cigar a try. I really like how you keep you videos short and to the point.

Thanks! I bought one because of your review and it was excellent. I will by more.

Ok, I'm in. Been eyeballing these for a while, I also am a fan of the Champagne Tubos- one of my favorite Connecticuts.

Hi Jim, I so enjoy your reviews. They’re very straightforward. And I feel I can put stock into what you say about the Cigar’s. A lot of reviews seem like they’re just paid advertisements. So thanks again I will continue to watch your videos.

I’m also a fan of this cigar. Perdomo construction has never dissipated me. It’s a matter of finding the blend that suits you best.

Thanks for the review! I tried this Cigar recently, i really enjoyed it too!

Here in. Orway we have to pay about 200 dollars for a box of theese 🤷🏻🤷🏻

Great video Jim. I find the whole process fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

What kind of coffee do you drink? It often reflects the type of cigar you will enjoy. Black=dark

There is no such thing as plume. Plume was an invention of tobacconists and vendors.

New Subscriber. Jim looks remarkably like, "HEY NOW!" It's Hank Kingsley.

I’ve had nothing but issues with zippo single butane. I tend to just use a straight zippo. Being an ex smoker the fuel taste is nothing that’s bothered me. I ended up getting a wood humidor. Just prepped it for a few weeks before using. Have had no real issues with it. Got a bead pack to go in it. Just filled it with the liquid I got to season the humidor and it works fine. The humidor was won off a cigar bidding website for $50 for a 50 count cigar holder. My cutters were just cheap straight cuts from a local cigar store.

Thanks for the video 👍👍

Plume does not exist. What you're referring to is mold that can be wiped off and isn't on the foot. Every single cigar that people think is plume which has been tested at a lab, has been proven to be mold. Period

Your advice is good, but starting with medium-level or, worse, flavored cigars could be a serious obstacle to falling in love with cigars.I think that Cubans are not a "trap" but still the best cigars in the world, it's a shame that communists on one side and Chinese on the other are making them a joke.

As for the cutters, I use a deep v cut cutter. I would highly recommend for a straight cutter is getting one that has a back stop on it as it won’t let you cut to much off

I agree Jim! Tupperware is the way to go! I use Systema and I have 3 of them. Best investment I made for my cigars. I keep it in a wineador with 65% boveda packs and a digital hygrometer. The best decision I made with my cigars. I would highly recommend Tupperware.

Thanks Jim, it sounds like Don Pepin had a mind for quality. Never heard of My Father cigars, will have to give them a look. I've heard of Fonseca before, what I read in the past weren't exactly glowing reviews. Hopefully this brand has been improved.

Always appreciate history cigars videos more than any others. No one else does it much , cheers

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I always enjoyed your videos 👍

Interesting story. I believe Tatuaje is pronounced ta-too-wah-hay.

Ordered my Black Swan’s. Waiting to get them.

I've always felt that AF bands are the most elegant, classy, sophisticated, and iconic looking cigar bands. To me they are pretty much the pinnacle of what a high end luxury cigar band should look like. The embossing, the metalic gold, the extreme detail, great color combinations, they just have it all. They are definitely in a league of their own when it comes to their bands. With the Don Carlos being my favorite of the regular bands.

Great series! Thanks Jim!!

I got two of these in a sampler and didn't really enjoy the first but I was fresh to the cigar world so thought I just didn't know enough to appreciate it. After a time when I understood better I smoked the other and found I could taste more but there just wasn't much to taste. I found it very earthy with a subtle cocoa and coffee undertone but not much else. It burned well, reasonably straight line, no dark spot like you had. It does have a long burn time and I smoke quickly. All in all, I probably won't be buying another for a long time.

Thanks for the pairings. I like to see what others drink with their smoke.
