    Many of you will know I absolutely love visiting my good friends, the Sahakians, at their store Davidoff of London on Jermyn street, every time I visit London. This time, however, Eddie invited me to visit another treasure of theirs: The Edward Sahakian Cigar Lounge at the Bulgari Hotel!
    This is a cigar lover's paradise. Situated inside the famous Bulgari Hotel in the heart of Knightsbridge, this cigar lounge has the distinct honor of having access to a selection of both rare and vintage cigars from Edward Sahakian's private humidor. For a real connoisseur, this lounge gives you an opportunity to sample a selection of cigars that are almost impossible to get anywhere else!
    Edward Sahakian is the owner of Davidoff of London, one of the world's finest cigar shops, in addition to being one of the world's foremost cigar aficionados in his own right.

    I've dearly been smoking cigars with my father since I was 16, and for my 18th Birthday I'm going to travel to the UK, I plan on visiting the Sahakian lounge and having a nice cigar, You have showed us through this series the great hospitality of this truly amazing bunch of humble gentleman. Thank you for making these splendid videos, wishing you and your family the best of times.

    The day after procuring a cache of Cubans at Davidoff’s with the help of “Mad” Max Foulkes (Max signed a new N-95 mask in honor of “Surviving the pandemic one corona at a time” and took selfies with me), I was in line at Heathrow with the Sahakians. Of course, I extolled Max’s virtues and got Edward and Eddie to sign another new N-95 mask. No surprise, they were both extremely gracious. Two weeks later, I made another pilgrimage to Davidoff’s with two work colleagues. Max & Eddie set us up with some great sticks, which we enjoyed at the café next to the shop. Glorious!

Eddie seems like the type of person who could make anyone feel like they’re home now and everything is going to be ok. He has this overwhelming feeling of calm that emanates from every aspect of who he is. So impressive.

I don't usually bother with cigars under $10 and figured it must be lousy. Then I saw the 93 rating and had to give it a try. Glad I did. Really enjoyable cigar.

Very relaxing and even influential in some areas. I may not get to experience the same things but im very happy that you are able to and even more happy that we get to watch! Thank you so much for the wonderful content and I always look forward to more!
