In today's video, Kirby Allison speaks with Edward and Eddie Sahakian of Davidoff London to learn about their relationship as father and son. Starting the business and seeing where it has grown to today has been the path of Edward and Eddie. Now, we take a look back at the memories of how there two well-dressed cigar merchants came to be. - Навчання та стиль
What a fantastic old fella that. "Do I have your permission to smoke a cigar?" In his own establishment! What a gentleman!
Povl Besser Armenian class!
Agreed. Also like that he told Kirby to call him by name but kirby still calls him Mr Sahakian. Classy
Things are very different now.
Yes.... And nowadays those liberals have stolen all the class from the society, increased taxes and persecution of decent people... Nowadays no class rude and half poor people thrive and live like in paradise...
Those poor Armenians have been persecuted throughout history by just about every middle eastern country. At least Mr. Sahakian shows pure class.
I went in there about 30 yrs ago, I was a motorcycle dispatch rider , my face was covered in filth and I looked like a bag of shit after a long days work, I went to buy 3 cigars as a few friends were returning to Australia, they cost about £30-35, I went to pay with a credit card but was informed their machine was down, I didn't have cash on me and it was close to 5pm on a Friday, so I was stuck.....The sales assistant calmly said to take the cigars and drop the money in on Monday...
They got their money at 10am Monday morning.
I'm not sure why, but I find such beauty in this story. a few kind, well-dressed gentlemen at my local cigar bar recently caught me admiring the $50 Davidoff. I had never had a Davidoff before. They insisted that I try the beautifully constructed cigar, and I instructed them to take a look at me and ask themselves "does this guy deserve a stick with that kind of pricetag?"
The two gentlemen immediately took the stick down from the top shelf, walked over to the counter, split the cost between them & insisted that I sit down and enjoy it with them.
Not sure what I did to deserve such kindness
@@cybersecurity7466 this warms my heart to no end. There's something about the culture of cigar smoking that's so generous and kind, relaxed and communal.
Liar !!! Go and pay the fucking people
I think this is the best comment I accidentally stumbled upon. I love both stories. Both of you, thank you for sharing, this brought me genuine joy.
The beauty in this comment is that they simply didn’t judge you by your messy appearance.
No snobbery.
That is lovely.
i feel like a gentleman just by watching this
i'm a poor peasant
@MCMXC a.D. < I was gonna say the same, as the low class is just oozing outa me by saying "I smoke a Number 2 then take a number 2". lol
Yes!🙂
This is how humans should interact with each other
Wouldn't that be wonderful to see at international conferences ... the spirit of "How can we assist you?" instead of "How can we screw these imbeciles before they suss us?!"
In this crazy libtard world, class like this is looked down upon.... just sad.
💯
@@BillAnt Kind of sad you don't see the irony in your statement right here. Insulting people with names under a comment about how we should properly interact with each other. Maybe you should take a look at how you treat people and gain some class before attacking others based on their political beliefs.
'68 was the start to destroy the Father!!!!!
That older guy is all class
You should watch some videos of iran from the 50s n 60s. Classy place.

@@tijmen131 you obviously if you took the time to reply. Dickhead🙄
@@whocares4199 😂😂😂😂
Whoosh
People smoke cigarettes to relieve stress. I smoke a cigars to celebrate not having stress.
This was POETIC! I had to capitalize the word. You should this it on shirt!
@@ralphaelconfer9719 Thank you sir. That is kind of you to say so.
@fifthof I only do sometimes by mistake. It makes me chough and choke.
No, I don't. Cigar smoke is thick and it often will burn if you do. I learned that from choking from trying to talk while exhaling. Lol!!
fifthof cigars are really not meant for inhaling, you draw it into your mouth for flavor
Father and son; Old School Politness, Charm and Class. The way the older Mr. Sahakian started roasting the cigar then handing it to Kirby Allison is really Oriential Manners. Bravo all three Gentlemen.
Oriential? What's that mean?
In this context "Oriental" means "eastern" as oppose to "Occedental" which would convey "western". So, our manners in Europe and the western hemisphere can be called "western manners" and anything, generaly, from the Near-east to, say, Japan would be "eastern mannerisms". Hope this helps.
I initially thought he had forgotten or misunderstood Kirby, but then really appreciated the fact that he was lighting one for him.
@@FearEeatsTheSoul here we go, a politically correct libtard.
@@faharoon357 class is class don't tie to an origin. That's pathetically invalid.
I was in the Davidoff shop in London in the 1990's and asked for some Havana cigars at a time when Davidoff had already stopped production in Cuba. After a five minute conversation with the clerk, he finally told me that he had just obtained a limited supply of Davidoff Havanas from an estate sale; and opened up a locked drawer to reveal a small stash. I bought a box. Those were some of the last Davidoff Havanas ever smoked on the face of the earth.
I smoked a Dom perignon davidoff which was Cuban made
There are many thousands (yes, thousands) of boxes of genuine vintage Cuban Davidoffs in the hands of private collectors. It will be several decades before the last cigar is smoked.
@@kxish Very true. I, for one, still have some Dom Perignon, 5000, and Chateau Latour boxes in my collection.
Naresh Krishnamoorti Hahaha Fuckin Bullshit M8!
A family member of mine back in the day was special forces and got ahold of some Cubans during an operation. My 17 year old father not thinking about what he was doing smoked 2 of them. Little did he know these cigars were hand rolled for Fidel Castro himself. He felt so foolish, but he said it was to this day one of the best cigars he ever smoked.
Edward is a proper old school gentleman. I could listen to him all day long.
Was just thinking the same thing.
Thinking the same thing
Yes, all day long.
The fact the son is just sitting there not having a cigar 😂😂
Aled Griffiths that’s because his dad gave his cigar away.
Obviously he's the wise one.
And not interrupting his father at all, waits for his turn to speak. Pure class and manners.
Bill A Fuck you, old man Bill
@@eaglpaul1 it's customary to not smoke while your dad/mom around in turkish/armenian/iranian cultures even you are a grown up man
The way that son caters to his father is absolutely respectful and full of admiration and love. The same I have for my father.
Edward and his father showed much love and respect for each other. They both remembered the same memory day and time.. I miss my father. We had a such a strong bond.
Beautiful to see how much respect a son can have for his father.
A lot of class is seen throughout. Class in dress, class in conversation, and a masterclass in respect. Class is really a dying societal occurrence that you don’t see everyday.
I'm glad to see that review brah is advancing so gracefully in the world.
Lol 😂 the food review guy?!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Not sure how this got recommended to me but I'm glad it was. Great interview. I'd love to hear more stories from them.
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a big cigar smoking just been introduced to Kirby and have subbed very good interview with some well know legends
I really like the sit down chat format, especially when it’s with Edward and Eddie. I popped in a few days ago to buy my best friend his first cigar and enjoyed them in St. James’ park
Keep up the great work!
Hamish Harper newcastle?
@@iBoondox no At James' park in London he will mean
it's like I need a suit to watch this video😂
Lmao 🤣
The amount of respect these two gentlemen have is amazing. The way they carry themselves, the way they laugh, and the way they either wait for the other person to finish talking or ask to interrupt. He even asked for permission to smoke in his own store and asked to offer Kirby a smoke. That's proper etiquette.
So much of learning in one interview-way of communicating, dressing, relationshipa,respect and much more.The way father talks is so amazing and polite.A good lesson for learning language.
Wow. The power of internet. We're able to see and find out things we would never have otherwise. I'm very pleased to watch it.
"I would've left him to be with me, but it was a very selfish thought" What a wise man. You don't see enough parents respecting their children's decisions to go their own way in life and not follow in their parent's footsteps. Respect.
Edward must be so proud of the man he raised in Eddie ❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👏🙌🏽
We need more of this! Thank you so much for this kind of content. It is so inceredible to hear real stories from genuine people like these gentlemen and I love that you don't interrupt and be as quiet as possible as an interviewer giving spotlight to the ones you interview. Brilliant! Thank you, Kirby!
When i’m done with my studies and i safed some, i would love to work in my own cigar shop with a great lounge. Give people the same experience i got with my first cigar.
May I call you Kirby?
Yes.
And please call me Edward it will make things easier.
Ok so Mr Sahakian, how did you get into Cigars?
This made me chuckle 😊 Jokes aside I could listen to Edward and Eddie talk all day.
I came across this video far after its launch, but couldn't be happier. Kirby, thank you for taking the time to let this great man tell his story. Truly moving. I visit London for the first time next July and can't wait to visit this shop. Thanks again.
I have had the pleasure to have sat in that same chair one day in 2019. It was a privilege sharing one of my favourite Robusto Vitolas - the Ramon Allones Specially Selected cigar with Edward Sahakian. It was 1 hour of laughter, wisdom and enjoyment accompanied by A friend of Mr Sahakian's from across the pond. In my world dominated by investment, it was a pleasure to not have to invest and think about the future. But to simply, and rather beautifully waste the present. Thank you to Kirby for taking the time to make these videos and to both Eddie and Edward. They are truly, in every sense of the phrase, the last of a dying breed.
1:50 wow thats a subtle. a way to show respect and love by giving a favor whithout have to ask, almost telephatic.
Wow, it was a real pleasure to see Father & Son interact here.
Perfect
Dear Kirby,
Fantastic video, I loved the chemistry and admiration between father and son.
Cheers - Paul
Agreed 👍🏽
Hello Kirby, please make more of these videos, they are soo touching and inspirational. We would love to hear back stories from master tailors and crafters.
What an absolute Gent the father is. Class. And he has done a great job on his son as well. Loved this video.
These gentleman epitomize what this world should be about. Hats off and thanks for another excellent trip down the lane of class and character.
Two things in my life made a big impact on me. 1. The first time I had real quality sushi 2. The first time I had a quality cigar.
Smoked my first cigar about 30 yrs ago with the Command Master Chief. Had the best sushi when I was in Japan
What cigar was it?
My first decent cigar that got me hooked was a punch punch
The manners, respect, and humility of the son is what I could pray for in a son..father was already a class act but son really showed the truest spin-off of such a father. I love this truly.
What a great story - more of this please. Great to hear the entire life and how it all begun. Great!
Great slice of life. Edward's suit is marvelous!
suits are so passe
Mr. Eddie really a humble man and also understand humanity.
Fantastic video. No BS, no music, just two classy men of a time long gone telling their story.
Such great interview- love how the father and son interact like a cloud and a sky ,
I love the way Kirby listens to him. Very respectful. Great interview !
These guys appear to be some of the most wonderful, finest gentlemen I've ever had the pleasure of watching and listening to. Great interview! 👏
I have always loved watching videos with the Sahakians. The interviewer did a great job interviewing with good questions and being a respectful listener.
I haven’t been to London in a looooonnng time. After the pandemic I will have to go on a trip and be sure to visit Davidoff.
Kirby my man this is one of my favorite video. Three gentlemen talking and enjoying a great cigar. God is good and life is good. Be well .
Light crisp & solid construction all the way till the end. Definitely in my top 5. Nicely done like delivered 👍🏽
This must of been the first encounter within the smoke shop. I am glad to see all three have came closer through the years. Enjoyed the content and hope to see more within this group of fine outstanding fellas.
Had the pleasure of meeting Edward on many occasions. A true gent.
Every time I visit London I call into the Davidoff shop for a cigar then over to Franco's across the street for lunch. A perfect combination If I say so myself.
May I ask you a question?
Is it absurd to smoke the pipe cigar to get the freshest possible smoke?
The entire cigar obviously, in a specific pipe
@@jobpipe Please accept my apologies, but I'm not quite sure what you mean. Pipe cigar? I've never come across this.
@@dappergent9422 Sorry for my English,
the cigar placed inside the pipe, to cool the smoke.
A pipe, created with the intent to smoke the whole cigar.
This was wondering
Thank you
Ml
Tremendous amount of respect .
Thank you very much indeed .
Absolutely amazing .
Enjoy your lovely weekend .
Cheers
Great conversation with two gentlemen, great job in letting them speak and sharing their stories.
I wish this interview could have been a lot longer than 28 minutes.
Watching all of this felt like 5 minutes in all. A great interview. I could listen to their stories and advice all day.
"Smoke less, smoke the best. Smoke Davidoff."
Smoke what you enjoy, enjoy what you smoke. PSSITA
the father reminds me a lot of my father. the sense of family in this talk was very strong and heartwarming. i wish i could visit this shop once time in my life.
Thank you for this Kirby. The Sahakians are delightful.
I’ve watched this video 3 times I just love it. I’ve also tried the Davidoff no 2 and it’s by far my favorite cigar.
Absolutely enjoyed watching every second of this. What classy gentlemen father and son! Very nice to see fellow Armenians as well! Would love to have a cigar and conversation with these two. Cheers.
Living legends. I have been buying cigars from Davidoff of London for more than 20 years and I hope this store stays in the family business for many years to come.
Thank you Kirby . You will have to do a second episode of this one . They have so much to say and us so much to learn
Superb video. Always make time to visit the shop when in London, but this is so nice to hear from this gentleman himself how the shop was opened. Really good piece of history you got here. Thank you for sharing.
Great video and interview. I really enjoyed listening to father and son tell their stories. Throughout, the video put a smile on my face.
My first introduction to cigar , thank you so much Kirby.
What a lovely video, fascinating true gentleman. Thank you
I have just recently started smoking cigars. They have reunited me with some of my greatest friends from the past. Watching your videos Kirby over the last few weeks have helped me realize that this entire experience is about the friendship that you either make, or rekindle during your time smoking. I'm buying my first humidor this weekend (you should totally make a video about that) and I cannot wait to continue this journey. I'm excited for the people I meet. I just hope, however, that they can match my expectation from the videos I have seen on your channel with Eddy and Edward. You have such a broad reach with youtube. Thank you, and the rest of the crew for being my smoking partners for being my first companions on this adventure.
I really enjoyed this interview. Thank you.
It was a pleasure watching this father, and son interview.
It is good for the soul and for the mind to observe a conversation of such eloquent people.
Beautiful interview, i have the highest respect for both of them and every word said is true. They have an atmosphere in their shop that can be matched by none, i was lucky i visited once but did not have the time to sit and talk. Thank you for this magnificent well put together interview, it is highly appreciated.
Kindest regards
Al janabi
al janabi wow well said.
Wonderful interview Mr Allison. I love the way these two conduct themselves. I’m watching this as I smoke a cigar and It’s made me realize I should do better with my son. I grind him pretty hard
These are two of the most pleasant people I’ve ever heard speak,Great duo!!!!
Another great video Kirby! Really enjoying your channel and content. Next time I'm in London, I can't miss this shop. Absolute Legends. I was reminded of my first experience with a cigar, which was also a Davidoff #2 with my father in Las Vegas. I still have the band and we still enjoy each other's company with a nice smoke, each time we meet.
This was one of the best cigar videos I've seen.
Stumbled on this old video by mistake. I very much enjoyed it. I would love to sit down and have a cigar. It reminded me of listening to my wife's father talk about his youth. Thank you.
great interview! i’ve seen it twice now and absolutely enjoy it! Thank you gentleman!
I could watch them over and over also...
This is just brilliant, I really hope we don't lose establishments and characters like this forever but you don't see many anymore.
The older gentleman is the epitome of class. He exude sophistication so much so there he is having a conversation not with you yet, it's like one is drawn to him like magnet to steel. Yes, we all know smoking is bad for us But, can't help wanting to be there in person having one..... I find it to be quite soothing & interesting i must say......
Thank you, Kirby for doing this wonderful interview. I now know where I am visiting the next time I am in London.
A great visit, I can relate to this intriguing conversation,.
I love the father and son bond over cigars.
Wow truly gold. Expert,Elegant,Prideful most of all Humble. Thank you
This interview is a treat on a weekend
Nicely done Kirby. Thank you!
What a beautiful conversation
One of your best videos Kirby!
Nice to see Kirby smoking cigars. damn the ban on smoking.
Cancer says thanks.
@@Bigwave2003 the cdc separated the data they had on people who smoke 1-2 cigars per day from their smoker data pool and showed that this demographic had an insignificant increased risk for any cancer. Don't try lumping in cigars and pipe tobacco with cigarettes.
There's always THAT guy. If you don't want to smoke cigars Bigwave then dont but let those who do alone.
yes there is a smoking ban in the UK, but we are allowed to sample cigars in specialist tobacco shops, providing the shop makes atleast 50% sales in tobacco, and it must be sampled from start to finish
@Darkcurse25 Your answer does not make any sense: most people, how many, one, two, twenty? THis is the old story of "my uncle who smoked 4 packs a day and died at the old ripe age of 102.
Excellent video. I’ve watched many of your more recent videos with Edward and Eddie, but only just come across this one. They had both already struck me as extremely interesting well mannered gentlemen in your other videos, however it was wonderful to hear their stories and background. Particularly Edward’s initial journey in the UK - quite a remarkable story. Thoroughly enjoyed listening. Thank you.
I’ve watched this 3-4x. It’s such a refreshing conversation.
I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for someone to offer Eddie a cigar..
Enjoyed the interview and how you let the person speak.
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the eloquence of father and son. So beautifully dressed, ties tied with a Windsor knot, beautiful stories. Son offering his father an ash tray as father cuts the cigar, “twice”. Father lighting a cigar for a guest. How delightfully wonderful.
I haven't even watched the episode and gave it a thumbs up. Good on you Kirby for indulging and exposing your audience to one of the greatest pleasures on earth, fine cigars.
Beautiful father and son relationship, it brought a tear to my eyes.
Thank you! Yes - they have a special relationship, for sure.
Great interview/ discussion/ "chat" like Edward said! Loved it!
Things like this are what UA-cam is for. Great stuff
Excellent content again. I was especially good to see those Tokaji Aszú bottles in the background. Good to know that they are appreciated in the other side of Europe as well. Greetings from Hungary!
Thank you for the time together.
This was an absolute breath of fresh air to watch. Simply timeless. Oh to the GENTLEMAN. God Speed and mates!
What a wonderful human interaction. A very well put together interview.
Definitely some of the best content on yt!
Even the way the old guy holds his cigar is just all class.
Fantastic. Perfect way to enjoy a cigar.
