Those are some amazing habano cigars. I really enjoy the San Cristobal, Ashton Symmetry and the La Aroma de Cuba Especial quite often on a regular basis. Also incredible video
Ant is like one of the guys from my crew who ironically is named Anthony. I definitely agree with almost all of your pics. Oscuro is definitely a tough sell sometimes. I find that I am not picking out Maduros very often. Good video and I’m always curious what a lot of other people are smoking especially since I attend quite a few events in my area(just outside NYC).
Relatively new cigar smoker here (about 6 months into the hobby). I have grown very fond of Habano! I love the spicy and robust flavor/aromas that a Habano wrapper always seems to deliver.
Love Habano! And happy to see a few sticks on here I can afford and already enjoy! Great work and still on the lookout for the best “nutty” cigar list. 😊
This is best channel to learn about cigars. Im new to cigars could you please tell me whats best cigars for new cigar smokers??? I would really appreciate all youre advice.Thank you in advance. Please keep those videos coming thank you for teaching everyone about fine cigars.
I’ve been sampling mostly Connecticut wrappers with Dominican fillers, AF Chateau Robusto has been my baseline, I recently tried it in Maduro and LOVED it!!! I already know I’ll have a great appreciation for the Maduro wrappers. Great videos, love the socks btw!
Smoked EE in churchill on my vacation. First tought "this is what every cuban cigar is trying to be and should be", burn, construction, flavour, loved it, very cuban flavour for me and my memory.
Sir could you please tell me what are good for young lady to try smoking ???? I love learning about cigars my Dad used to smoke them he died in car accident. The smell of good cigars remind me of him. I would love to find a boy friend who smoked fine cigars as I really love ❤️ the smell and aroma of good cigars very comforting and relaxing.
The first Four cigars are in my rotation and I enjoy smoking them. Agree with the hickory wood notes, Infact I have found this taste notes in La aroma de cuba classic line and also present in E.E. I am curious to try the last cigar on the video but I live in Europe. 😅
of course there are a lot of cigars that could be on this list... but surprised the AJ fernandez Enclave isnt on it. That is one amazing stick! I do love the oliva v and and the la aroma de cuba edicion especial
Hey, Mazz. How many cigars do you smoke a day? I’m sure it varies but on an average. Also I’m planning on visiting your shop during my summer vacation. Can’t wait to meet you and see the shop.
Barely getting more into Habanos. I tend to steer clear from super peppery cigars. Casa Cuevas habano, Esteban Carreras habano, and HANDS DOWN Le Bijue. I love that one. Melanio V torpedo was excellent as well.
I'm sure you'll never see my comment, Anthony, but I love your channel. I started smoking when I was in my 20s, and my wife hated it. So I quit. I recently went to a lounge in Spokane, WA. and realized how much I love cigars. I look forward to your reviews and appreciate your expertise. I'd love your recommendation on my first box to purchase. So far, My Father, has been amazing. Is there a cigar you'd recommend that I can smoke to my knuckle?
Glad to hear it! My Father has a very diverse portfolio of cigars, it really comes down to what kind of cigar you enjoy most. Do you prefer mild, medium, or full-bodied blends? What blends have stood out to you from My Father, or other factories?
Hi there my BOTL Ma man the next time you need to help someone with flavor notes. Mazz tell them to get a flavor wheel. You can find them online. If there’s anything that will help them it’s a flavor wheel. Happy New Year ma BOTL Great video too start the new year with. Just got done ordering a gang of sticks and that Placentia Salamone. You know what I mean. Lol. Apples auto right doesn’t always get the word spelled correctly. So that is what I would recommend to anybody who wants to explore your pallet and get a good start on what you are tasting. A Flavor Wheel. Ok. Out
What does age have to do with the quality of a cigar? In the wine world the wineries that have been at it for generations are the most revered. Why is it any different for premium cigars?
i think that old henry should possibly get a band rebranding, it will make it look a little more luxurious and it will get the love it needs. Kind of like how wild turkey had to change its bottles because the name and the logo looks kind of cheap
also, no offense to old Henry I know it’s been a house blend that has performed beautifully for thousands of people , I just want more people to not look past it, it’s such a solid price for anything by Pepin
Hey, can anyone help. When I visit Cuba, how many cigars can I bring back to England? Also, how much cheaper (% cheaper) are cigars in Cuba, say for Cohiba siglo 6 or hoyo de monterrey epicure no. 2?
Absolutely, give your cigars a gentle pinch. If they are completely stiff they are likely dry and if they are a little soft or squishy they are likely overly humidified
Not so fast!! Show me 1 claim that Arturo Fuente has declared their Sun Grown chateau cigar actually uses a Habano wrapper. On their w.s, they claim it's solely an Ecuador Leaf. As you may know, there's an entire different tobacco leaf called: The Ecuador Leaf. There's plenty of Ecuadorian leaf wrapped cigars: the Nicaragua by Camacho, Avo Heritage and the Day Trader by H.Upmann... Please correct this issue. Thank you
What’s “The Ecuadorian Leaf” ? There is no general strain of tobacco called that. Is it a Sumatra seed variety? Is it Connecticut seed variety? Is it a Habano seed variety? If you know what it’s NOT you’ll know what it IS. It’s Habano seed on the Fuente Sungrown. Just because they never publicly said the seed variety doesn’t mean we don’t have insight to what it truly is.
@@anthonymazzola4470 The "Ecuadorian" Wrapper leaf is the Havana strain tobacco. Havana leaf is not identical to the Habano stain. As I'm sure you are aware, Habano leaf is also known as "Cuban Seed". There's a few well known Ecuadorian wrapped Cigars such as: . Casa Cuba by Arturo Fuente . Nicaragua By Camacho . Day Trader by H.Upmann (All these are not Habano Wrapped) Again, there are 0% claims Arturo Fuente have released as using a Habano Wrapper for the Chateau Sungrown. Yes it is a blender's secrete and you may have been told by someone as to what the Wrapper's strain and origin actually is but until now, it's merely anecdotal. Putting the Wrapper strain on blast on your video claiming the Chateau Sungrown utilizes an Ecuador Habano leaf, I don't think the Fuentes would be too thrilled. If they would be, then why not just end the debate and claim it on their website? Now as far as the My Father 1922 Cigar, it was posted on their website as utilizing a Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro Wrapper leaf. Once again, if you were Told by someone that it uses an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro, it's mere anecdotal. I'm not a gambling man but if I were, I'd bet my 1st born that once My Father has their website up and running again, they'd label the Le Bijou 1922 as having a Nicaraguan Habano Wrapper. On many reputable cigar publishers such as Cigar Afficinado, they also recognize the Bijou as the origin being from Nicaragua. But until then, let's just enjoy these Cigars and hold the decade another time
@@CONSERVATIVESONSUSA the Casa Cuba uses Habano wrapper. I don’t want to debate you but you’re mistaken. I’ve been in the industry for over 30 years & I know these cigar manufacturers personally. It’s not on blast. You questioned our integrity & told us to remove the post. We can agree to disagree. Again, we thoroughly research our information before we make a post. Not only that, we have personal relationships with both the Garcia & Fuente family. You can believe what you like. Have a good weekend.
@@CONSERVATIVESONSUSA nothing I post is anecdotal. I talk to the Garcia & Fuente family personally. It’s not something that was heard second hand. Sounds like you just like a good debate. When you’re wrong you’re wrong. You’re wrong. I’m glad we could educate you.

The original strain came from Cuba. Correct. It’s confusing to many people because most of the seed varieties evolved from what some manufacturers describe as “Havana” or “Cuban” seed. That was the precursor to Habano seed today as we know it. “Havana” or “Cuban” seed was the mother seed for many strains used in the industry today.
The title of the video is misleading…. In the cigar industry, an “habano” cigar is actually a Cuban cigar. It is the term used for cigars from Cuba, not cigars with habano Cuban seed wrappers made elsewhere.
Check yourself, there's 0% Claims made by Arturo Fuente that says the Chateau Sungrown is Habano wrapped. They only claim an Ecuadorian Strain and origin leaf. Also, the My Father Le Bijou is not an Ecuadorian Habano, it's a Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro
Fuente is secretive about their seed variety so just assume we are making it up? We have it on good word what the seed variety is. Also the Le Bijou’s wrapper IS Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro. The MF factory also keeps their info close to the vest. The wrapper was always just described as Habano Oscuro & people mistakenly assumed it was Nicaraguan grown. Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion out there. We go through great lengths to make sure our information is correct.
Where I’m from it is technically illegal, to call them Habanos. Habano in my opinion means Cuban cigar you cannot „fake“ that just with the seed. In fact they taste totally different, so in the end it is just marketing. Not very honorable to make money with the reputation of an other product. Just for Clarification, I’m from Germany. And this is like building a Mustang and call it at the end a Mercedes just because of the same starting material. Those two cars have nothing in Common…
They are the same seeds just grown in other countries, nothing is being faked or marketed. The same way you can make a Cabernet Sauvignon in California even though the grapes are originally from Italy. It’s not marketing it’s just classification.
@@holtscigars if the grapes are from Italy and they were grown there than it’s fine but I don’t think a Sauvignon from California have something in common with one out of Italy, so why would you call it like that.

And the definition of habano clearly says it means that a cigar is out of Cuba. So seed soil sun water out of Cuba and of course fermented and rolled there. These „habanos“ aren’t even puros 😅

Thank you for watching 🙌
Always learning....
What you do for us Anthony and indeed the industry really is top notch.
Now i nearly cant warch any other cigarchannel, because i rly enjoy yours. H2000 one of my fav wrappers ❤

Solid video. I've learned so much from Mazz. Thanks
Excellent vid. The AF SG is my golf gar...construction, draw and flavor is fantastic. Amazing value. Need to try Hwnry.
Informative and enjoyable video!
Ant is like one of the guys from my crew who ironically is named Anthony. I definitely agree with almost all of your pics. Oscuro is definitely a tough sell sometimes. I find that I am not picking out Maduros very often. Good video and I’m always curious what a lot of other people are smoking especially since I attend quite a few events in my area(just outside NYC).
thanks for watching 👊
I enjoy watching your videos, being new to premium i learn something from every video. I appreciate you taking time to make these videos.
We appreciate you watching! Glad the content is helpful 🙌
@@holtscigars I forgot to add cigars after the word premium. I'm not sure how that happened, i will blame it on me being old.

Hey, Mazz. How many cigars do you smoke a day? I’m sure it varies but on an average. Also I’m planning on visiting your shop during my summer vacation. Can’t wait to meet you and see the shop.
3 cigars I guess is the average
Hi newish to cigars loving the videos helping me navigate the smoking world what 5 cigars would you recommend I try live fine cigars
Check out our video "Top 5 Mellow Cigars". All of those on the list would be great to start with!
All great picks but I'm surprised the Perdomo Habano series is not mentioned. 🤔🤷
Another great Habano cigar indeed!
I had the EE last night,such a strong cigar 😂😂
Habano wrapper hits different 💪
that four roses pairing
🤤
Barely getting more into Habanos. I tend to steer clear from super peppery cigars.
Casa Cuevas habano, Esteban Carreras habano, and HANDS DOWN Le Bijue. I love that one.
Melanio V torpedo was excellent as well.
Melanio V uses a Sumatra seed wrapper but I enjoy that blend as well 😊
Tubos in a humidor do you need to take them out of the tube or are they fine to just putt them in ? thanks

So Habano Wrappers typically have a stronger, woodier and bolder taste?
And maduros tend to have a more ripe taste?

I’ve only had a few of them but I enjoyed them
If you're over 50 I'm sure this list is right up your alley. Great information, but a list you'd find in CA.

Hello im new to smoking sigars. Is ther a way to check if your sigars are to moist or to dry?
Absolutely, give your cigars a gentle pinch. If they are completely stiff they are likely dry and if they are a little soft or squishy they are likely overly humidified

If i travel to United state i am gonna try your shop 👍👿
Awesome shop, you can’t go wrong there!
Literally all I watch while smoking.
