Hello guys welcome back to the channel so today is our annual traditional and festive tour of my humidor a lot of cigars that I still have uh have been in my humidor since last year but there’s a lot of Novelties so so looking forward to showing you everything that I have as

You can notice I’m wearing my ugly Christmas sweater I don’t think it’s actually that ugly it’s pretty decent considering uh all the ugly sweaters that are possible to get these days and I decided to pair my outfit with Omega speed master that I have which I put on

Burgundy leather strap as you can see the strap goes pretty nicely with with this with this sweater right wouldn’t you say let me give you a closeup of that how is that beautiful right nice so it’s going to be a bit longer video so grab yourself a glass of wine

Or whatever you’re drinking I’m going to open a bottle of wine myself now we’re going to see it together or we’re going to do it together and I’m also going to show you what I’m cooking for tomorrow tomorrow is Christmas Eve so you’re probably watching this

Video I’m not sure if I’m going to release it today or tomorrow but you’re going to be enjoying it either way so come with me all right so this year while in Italy in June I got my self this wine from tenuta San Guido called guidalberto the year of production is

2020 and it’s a Tuscan red wine from Tuscan in Italy which is also known as a region from where super Tuscan wines come from and if you’re familiar with this tenuta sanguo Winery they make one of the super Tuscan wines called sasaya other super Tuscan wines are for

Example ello which comes from kti region and also orela which comes from bulgary region which is actually a neighbors they actually neighbors to tenuta sanguo so they’re super Tarkan wines now this good Alberto is not as considered to be super tuskan vine but it’s considered to

Be like a younger sister of sasaya let’s put it that way so sasaya for example is I don’t know maybe ,000 per bottle which is absolutely crazy while this with Alberto a younger sister of it is around 50 still a bit pricey and it’s probably the most expensive Italian wine that I

Ever tried or I’m going to try because I haven’t tried it yet so so very EXC decided to try it out as you can see it also has a very nice not engraving but Mark on the on the on the glass bottle with Alberto so pretty nice presentation as

Well and the top of the bottle is the blue color which is the same as in sasaya wine so let’s pop this baby open and see what it’s all about beautiful beautiful Omega nice quite like it even the bottle opener matches with my ugly sweater that was not on

Purpose he’s beginning to look a lot like Christas everywhere you go all right well I pop this open I got to tell you that usually super super Tuscan wines are made of a blend of cabet s Cabernet Fran s and Mero I think this one here is made H is a blend of cabon and Mero and I

Think cabet is 60% Mero is 40% so let’s see very excited very excited about this one what a beautiful smell on the nose a lot of Plum but also a bit of a tobacco it’s quite nice the cork also has markings of Thena Sango yeah it’s not going to focus but whatever all right wow what a color not going to pour too much are you seeing guys this color it’s also quite burgundy color so I think the color of the day should be burgundy it’s definitely burgundy for me right this sweater is dark

Burgundy the lad strap on my watch is burgundy the color of the wine is Burgundy but it looks so Clear doesn’t look thick it’s not sticking on the glass how much alcohol does it have should be 13 and a half 14 14% alcohol so that’s a bit higher than your regular red wine which is usually 13 and A2 but still so let’s taste it even though I

Don’t expect it to be at its potential right away from the glass from the bottle on the nose quite similar as on the cork a lot of Plum and black fruits MH wow a lot it’s it’s very dry it’s very dry not sweet I wouldn’t I wouldn’t I I’m not finding any sweetness and it’s still a bit acid so it’s going to loosen up once it’s once it starts breeding from this glass not sure I’m going to put it in u the

Caner uh I’m just going to let it rest rest in my glass so guys cheers before we move on to Cigars I just want to say thank you uh for watching my channel this year I got quite a lot of subscribers new new subscribers this year and I’m quite

Happy about that as you all know uh I’m expecting a child any day now uh my wife is uh asleep right now so I’m cooking uh a meal for tomorrow for Christmas eve lunch and it’s our traditional octopus with noi and I’m going to show you how it’s done right

Now so come with me again all right now look at this this is the octopus and as a matter of fact it’s two octopus octopuses or I don’t know what’s the plural of octopus uh they reach around 1.2 kilos and how you prepare this meal is

Actually you cook it I usually cook it the day before because it takes hour to hour and a half to cook it needs to be on a very light fire and you put a cork inside I don’t know why it’s what it says uh in the recipe you put a cork ins

The side so you cook it for hour hour and a half until it’s nicely done what you do next is you put it out you cool it down in a cold water and then you clean it you clean all these red things that it has on

Its uh whatever they are um so you clean all that and then you cut it into small pieces like this size right and then I put it in the fridge and then tomorrow I finish the meal so the meal is you take the pan you put a lot of ol olive oil in

The pan you put some garlic in the pan and you put some olives in the pan and you put a clean and cut octopus in the pan so you mix it all you put some white wine so not red wine but white wine and then you wait until it reduces by

Half after that’s done you cook noi on the side and put it all together in the end you put some parsley inside because parsley will you know it will just die if you put it to early and you can even put some more olive oil if

You want it to be uh you know a bit more kind of Blended and and wet per se and you put a lot of uh paragano cheese on it and that’s it and I’m going to show you right now what it looks like when it’s done because I do it every year and

It’s our family tradition comes from my family and now uh me and my wife H we make it every year all right so there is that going to leave leave that cook for another not a lot uh I think another 10 minutes or so uh because it’s been cooking for over an

Hour now and I’m going to shut it down later let’s go and see some cigars I already prepared everything hope you enjoy this part all right guys so here we are this is the setup I hope you like it uh the humidors are here the wine is here so we

Can start what I’m going to do is I’m going to open my humidors I’m going to show you all the cigars that I have and then I’m going to lay them down on this table and then I’m going to show you a full picture of all the cigars that I

Have so very much looking forward to your comments and I hope that you will like uh my state of humidor for this year so let’s start obviously this is the same humer that I had last year let’s start with some Cubans so I have two of kores 505050 Kor

Is pretty much an entry into a Cuban world uh both from the price standpoint and from the complexity standpoint so these are shorter than robustos but ring ages 50 like robustos so pretty pretty nice little smoke I wouldn’t recommend it to an experienced uh cigar smokers because they probably prefer a bit more

Complexity a bit more intensity of their cigars so uh this is pretty much a cigar for beginners who are just entering a Cuban world of cigars and I wouldn’t even smoke it after dinner but probably during the day uh after a coffee or after a lunch so nothing too special and entertaining

Ing about this cigar I also have one Kor 50 which is a big brother of Kor 50 so sorry this is 54 uh and the only difference is basically in the vitola size the blend of the cigars is pretty pretty much the same so let’s put them

Here all right let’s move on to something not Cuban so this is a completely new brand not sure if it was released this year but it was certainly released this year in Croatia it’s called Oscar valadares and I tried one of their cigars before I tried uh Leaf by Oscar

Valadares lanero sized and it was a beautiful cigar from the pricing standpoint it’s certainly EV value for money they are all between 10 to 12 per stick same as this K 50 so obviously you’re getting a Cuban here but this one is a lot better when it comes to you

Know different flavors and Aromas that you are able to experience from it so this one is toro size and this is the altar by Oscar valadares can’t wait to try it I see already that it has a pigtail on the cap so they are putting a lot of effort in

Their construction they’re also putting a lot of effort in their presentation because uh if you Google uh leave by oscal valadas you will see that it’s wrapped in this very very um kind of um scratched or crushed uh Leaf but that’s only presentation from the outside from

The inside you get this very very beautiful nice elegant and um just beautiful rapper so Oscar valadares looking forward to trying this one uh I got it as a presents from Havana cigar shop um uh being their Ambassador very happy about that clearly so thank you

Havana uh moving on to another Cuban so this is Vegas rabina fos it’s similar to robusto size except it’s a bit smaller in ring age so this one is 48 compared to 50 which is your regular rusto and I grew very fond of Vegas surina especially this year I

Smoked quite a few of these uh cigars I like them I like them for the value that they bring this one is around €6 per stick which is a pretty good uh price for Cuban cigars uh these days and what I like about Vegas Robina is their

Quality stayed the same all the time and their blend is also very good they have this you know pure Cuban character they are a bit stronger but they’re just amazing cigars so definitely recommend this cigar once again I reviewed it on the channel so you haven’t check it

Out moving on to another non-cuban cigar so I have this Oliva this is the Oliva serus o which is pretty much an entry point in Oliva Cigars very nice cigar I don’t usually smoke Olivas and to be perfectly honest with you the only reason why I have have

It is when I’m smoking a cigar with someone who is a beginner and who just entering the world of cigars I give them this cigar because it’s a perfect perfect uh start for someone who wants to experience cigar smoking without a lot of complexity with without you know

A a lot of strength or a lot of intensity and Olivas are pretty much perfect uh just for that they’re not expensive also so these are around 7 eight or9 something like that per stick okay I’m going to leave this one for a bit later and I’m going to go with ho de

Monre Epicure number two so I have still two of those they are always part of my humidor so hoo de monter Epicure number two robusto sized uh very light cigar similar to this scor say they are you know they have this kind of fruity Aromas and they’re very light in

Strength and you’re not going to get a lot of complexity and entertainment from them but they are very nice smoke especially for beginners as well so still compared to K or C50 they are a few steps above them when it comes to the blend so still have two of

These smoke them regularly even though I have to admit that I kind of slow down with them uh I started entering some other cigars so ho de m still smoke them but not as often as I used to uh when we’re talking about epicur number two

Then I still have this box of maras very nice presentation so this is a selection of maras uh five Petit Coronas and this is imported by hunters and frankow so the only I think importer of and distributor of Cuban cigars into the UK why UK because I got this as a gift from

My colleagues from the UK and as you can see here you have panaga Petit Corona a Chapman regalas Romeo and Julieta floor Kiba siglo 2 and Monte Christo number four so these are the cigars they’re all the same witha and their brands just call them differently uh they’re great for

Beginners because all of these are light to medium in strength except Kias and Monte Christos they are medium to strong but the point of this is when you smoke through them you actually get to experience all the different flavors within the same vitola and then you can probably start expanding your pallette

And understanding what kind of cigars you prefer and like I smoked all of these before so I’m not going to touch this beautiful box uh I like to keep it as is uh just for the presentation so at least for now so still got these and we’re done

With the first drawer in the meantime I’m going to try some of this wine that’s been resting for the last half an hour or so lovely yeah it’s still very very dry I’m still sensing some tobacco not sure if it’s uh because the humidor is open so I’m getting a lot of tobacco

Smell from this or is it from the wine but yeah maybe I’m confused still uh also a lot of a lot of Plum and then vanilla started um showing up a little bit as well but still very very dry wine and the color is just so intense

Burgundy but not clouded like very very clear and not sticking to the glass at all all right let’s move on to the second draw where I’m also going to start with the non-cuban cigar and it’s going to be Liga Privada number nine I’m actually going to put it out of the cellophan so

You can see it better and I got this as a gift also from my good friend Daria from UK who gave me this as a present for for my soon to be newborn child so thank you thaty again uh and this is going to be smoked in a very very

Special occasion so this is a quite a big cigar so look at this beautiful Maduro wrapper and it’s it’s just just very nice under fingers so looking forward to trying this one it’s definitely going to be special occasion when I light it up Liga priv number nine so this is a

Bigger than than the tooro size okay moving along let’s go back to some more hoo de monre so this is the hoo de monre Epicure Deluxe laasa Del Habano Edition and compared to hoo de monre Epicure number two they are a bit shorter in length but they have a bit bigger ring

Age so I think this ring age is around 52 This Is 50 so they are not sure if this is short robusto it could be but the difference between those uh for example in price so o de mon epure number two are around 22 these are

Around 25 to30 per stick so bit more expensive but what you’re getting with this one is a bit more character so it is a bit more complex and uh Stronger cigar compared to epure number to and still haven’t tried this but I’m going to be reviewing it next

Year so definitely stay tuned got two of these obviously and then let’s go into some let’s go into some H upman so I have H upman 46 Magnum 46 and I got H upman Magnum 54 clearly the blend is the same but the vitola is very different

Magnum 54 has a ring age of 54 46 is 46 clearly this one is a bit longer this is I think this is the Corona vitola and this is kind of a wide robusto if you will and basically since the blend is pretty much the same uh that doesn’t

Mean that your smoking experience will be the same uh is because of the difference in in sizes is where the your smoking experience uh and pallet senses different notes different different Aromas uh different strength even at some points uh this one is wider so that

Means that the heat will be a bit higher and the oils will burn a bit faster compared to this one uh which is thinner so the the the air will come through it slower so you will have definitely a different experience uh these are like chocolatey uh flavored cigars and I do

Like them except the only issue I have with the 54 is that it’s wide so it tends to crack the wrapper when it gets too hot compared to this one which is maybe a bit too thin and sometimes they are kind of plugged so you have to use

Use your Um poker tool to kind of punch through it to release uh to get it to release more air but either either way I like Hopman and they’re always part of my humidor so I’m going to keep having them another Hopman that I have is connoisseur number

Two and this cigar has been in my humidor for probably over a year and a half and and it’s probably embarrassing to say that I haven’t even tried this one yet I’m not sure why I just never kind of felt that it was the right opportunity to smoke this one the price

Point also as with all of these H shopman is anywhere between 20 and 25 EUR per stick uh so this one’s the same uh they’re not too expensive still not too cheap also but uh I think they’re right there in the middle when it comes to Cuban cigar prices these

Days and to finish the H upman I’m going to show you just get it out H upman’s Royal Corona still have three of these left I bought a box uh this is the Royal coron sorry not Royal Corona this is the Royal robusto laasa Del habanos Edition it’s a

Bit wider than a regular robusto so 52 in ring gauge and the same length as robusto so I got a box of these two years ago and still have three left uh I like these the most out of all a chapas I think and I’m going to save these last

Threee for uh some other occasions but yeah quite like these H upman Royal robustas okay then let’s move on to partagas and here I have the classic bagas series D number four um one of my favorite or one of my go-to cigars if you will uh at least

This year uh I kind of got into more stronger and more complex cigars as my goto smoke so partagas Ser D number four is definitely one of those and I always keep one in the humidor another stronger cigar that I have is Bolivar bosos Finos and this is

The torpedo shaped cigar as you can see it’s a belloso that’s the belloso is when the cigar has this shape uh and even though bolard are probably one of stronger Cuban cigars on the market this torpedo shape belicosa fenos is not as strong actually at least not for me uh

Maybe it’s because of the way the it’s shaped so the air flows a bit differently so you have a different experience or it’s just that I’m already got used to the smokeing stronger cigars so but yeah compared to to their Royal not Royal but um robusto

Uh this is not as strong and this is a very good value for money so this cigar is around 19 per stick so you get a lot of cigar for for for this price and then let’s move on to one of my favorite Brands this year here it’s going to be San Christo

Bal San Christo Bal El PR also a laasa Del habanos Edition and this cigar is I think impossible to get on the market at least in Croatia so they are very very rare I still have three of them and I’m saving them until I’m able to get some more uh the price

Is around 25 per stick and they’re also torpedo shaped cigar even though a bit smaller so this is like 1 hour smoke uh great for after lunch they’re not too strong uh but they’re just beautiful and very smooth cigars so s Cristobal uh makes a lot of good cigars

And I also reviewed some of them uh this year I also have some more that I’m going to show you later so sanal is starting to become one of my favorite Brands as well and then another cigar that I reviewed this year over the summer I think I even did a live stream

On this one Monte chisto wide edmundo so this is the wider edmundo so edmundo is 52 in ring age and this one is I think 54 so very very powerful cigar and yeah you definitely want to have a great meal uh before you smoke this one still uh a lot

Of complexity in this and yeah just very very flavorful with a lot of Monte Christal character uh I have only one left hopefully I can get some more so I can you know keep smoking through these and yeah the price of uh Monte Christo W Mundo is around €30 per stick I think

And so yeah they are kind of getting on a pricier side of things and then we have yeah well I like to compare these two so Monte Christo wied Munda and the new cigar from Ramon iones this is the Ramon alones number three so this is a bigger cigar compared

To Ramon alones specially selected specially selected is a classic robusto size cigar and this one is bigger so this one is 52 in the ring GAE and it’s longer than the regular rusto they compare it to Monte chisto edmundo they have the same ring age except Ramon alones is is even longer

Than than Monte chisto edmundo so this is the new cigar that they released this year and I had one last night and it’s just amazing I couldn’t believe that you know the newly released cigar uh was going to be this ready to smoke uh so early uh the price is1

195os per stick so I’m seriously considering uh getting a box of these Ramona probably I’m saying this for every brand like that it’s probably one of my favorites but Ramon alones is definitely top three of my favorite uh Cuban cigars and then let’s get into some bigger cigars I’m going to show

You okay so let’s get into basketball a little bit so this is hoyo De monter double Corona it’s a big cigar I think the ring age is 48 and in length it’s around 19.4 cm and this cigar is famous if you watched Michael Jordan’s interview on cigar of ficado magazine with Marvin

Shanken so that’s where he said where he started when he started smoking cigar ho de monter double Corona was his first cigar that he smoked when driving to the games and Marvin um gave him a box of these cigars from I think actually early ’90s uh that’s when he started smoking

So I have one of these I haven’t tried it yet because I’m trying to acquire more and Havana had them last week and they sold them out in a day so I didn’t get a chance to to come to the shop and and get more that’s a shame so I’m I’m

Still going to keep this one for for some time before uh I’m able to get some more and then staying with basketball and staying with Michael Jordan so this to the day is his favorite cigar right now so this is partagas lucanas partagas lucanas is the same

Size as this hre double Corona so this fola is called double Corona and this is a probably amazing smoke I have three so I’m definitely going to smoke one maybe even maybe I I I I light one um on a New Year’s Eve this year

We’ll see if I find a good spot in time and place um yeah it’s going to it’s going to take me two and a half hours at least to smoke through this one staying with the longer Vas I have one of these Romeo and julieta’s an Churchill

Anadas so anad means that this cigar has been aged for at least 7even years after it’s been uh wrapped and constructed so and yeah it’s been Aging in my humer as well for another um 2 years at least uh they are almost impossible to get and that’s why I’m not

In a hurry to light this one up so I’m going to keep saving it for now at least uh the price of this cigar is around €40 per hour and I didn’t mention the price for part of ganas they are around 3030 per uh stick so it’s very interesting

How this cigar for this price you get a whole lot of cigars so you get an amazing smoking experience with this partas for per stick and then the last one that I have of this size is Romeo and Julieta Churchill The Churchill the original version of it they also have short

Churchills they have wide Churchills which are robusto sizes so this one is a pure Churchill sized I have to tell you um this year I’ve been pretty disappointed by Romeo and julietas uh I don’t know why but I smoked a few short Churchills and constructionwise they were not as good

They were falling apart and then also from the from the Aromas and smoking experience standpoint um they’re kind of like they were like almost not ready to be smoked yet uh they were like very young they were even a little bit sour so I didn’t enjoy them at all uh I don’t

Know what is it with them but they kind of decreased in in quality for sure so I don’t know I hope I hope they get better they used to be one of my favorite Brands uh but not anymore and then moving back to Monte Christos I have uh quite a few of these

Open lines so this is uh Monte Cristo open regata it’s a smaller torpedo shaped cigar so open serus from Monte Cristo is usually cigar not usually but all the time is the cigar with this second green band and that means that these cigars are a bit lighter in

Strength compared to your regular Monte Christal so I like them a lot if I’m uh in the mood to smoke a Monte chisto um and I don’t want to go with something too heavy and too intense then I’m going to go for the open serus other than that I also

Have three mon cryistal open Masters which are robusto sized cigars in terms of their open line so this is a beautiful cigar uh I like to smoke them yeah they they are probably they could probably be your goto cigar because they are lighter in strength and still provide that Monte

Chisto character and the blend in them uh the price though is a bit higher than with some of the other robustos that that you can get like uh Ramon alones this number three or Epicure or um H up and so these Monte Christo from open Line

Are around 30 35 uh some go even up to 40 per stick so this is the end of the second drawer and I’m going to move into the third drawer where I have plenty of these cigars that are I’m quite proud of actually I’m I’m proud of these cigars

So let’s go to David offs I have two David of Croatia 2020 Edition I already smoked this cigar and did a review of it this is the Edition that the David of created for Croatia in 2020 clearly the name says it and you can buy

Them only in Croatia uh not sure if they have them anymore if they do I think they only sell them in boxes so you can’t buy a stick but it’s a very nice cigar so I definitely recommend it to you especially if you’re like uh Davids

And then the final dbid up that I have is their classic signature number two in tube so this is just as elegant as it gets so so this is a lancero vitola it’s a very thin I think this is 42 in ring GAE it has this beautiful pigtail on a

Cap so shows uh very much the classiness and the craftsmanship of the cigar and the construction is just perfect this wrapper uh I think this is like a Connecticut wrapper so yeah so my friend cus uh also known as Finn I think that’s his name from from Instagram so he and I

Had a deal that uh I was going to do a live stream next time and we’re going to I’m going to review this cigar so he’s going to smoke it with me so Finn if you’re watching this I got it I acquired it so whenever the weather improves uh

Either this spring or summer I’m going to be doing a live stream and I’m going to be reviewing David of signature number two and then that’s pretty much all that I had from nonc Cubans the rest of this is only Cubans so and they are quite

Special so let’s go back to mon Christo this is another one from the Open Line and this is the open Eagle this is the biggest of the open series and compared to the open Master you can see that it’s a bit bigger so this is the robusto size

And this is the tooro vitola and this one is around 40 per stick so not cheap not cheap but you get a beautiful cigar with uh yeah I if I was buying €40 worth of cigar I probably wouldn’t go with this because for for this price you can probably even get a

Trinidad viia maybe uh so yeah I would go with something a bit more complex with a bit more character okay moving on I have this spartus anad so another anado that I have this is Corona vitola and I bought it in Cavendish number six they were not very

Expensive they were like 25 quid per stick so that’s not inexpensive for uh anado and I smoke this one of these already and I reviewed it so it’s in the channel if you want to go check it out it’s a beautiful cigar I like aged cigars so that’s why a lot of these

Cigars aging because I really like them when they are age when they’re settled when they are really ready to to be smoked and for Cubans uh this is very often the case so bagas anadas moving along here’s another Vegas Robina that I have so this is Vegas Robina unicos this is the torpedo

Vitola and I also review this one on the channel I think he also on the live stream and it’s an amazing cigar uh like I said I already praised uh Vegas Robina fos also the unicos they’re amazing amazing cigars then we have another torpedo this is the classic Monte chisto

Number two very complex cigar it’s just a classic like everybody knows about this cigar it’s a pillar of Monte Christal line and every cigar every cigar smoker should try this cigar at some point in their life my thong started messing so I’m going to go and have some more of this wine beautiful

Beautiful all right then I have this Romeo and juletta Noble both so this is a cigar from Romeo and Julieta L deoro their special line that they released last year or a year before even uh I have this one it’s it’s pricey it’s 60 per stick I have it and I haven’t smoked

It yet because I’m waiting for a perfect uh timing for it I also didn’t want to light it up too early because I wanted to experience it in its full potential so yeah I’m still saving it and it’s definitely going to get smoked probably next year let’s move on to some of these

Special sticks or special vas so I have partagas presidentes so partagas presidentes uh they are extremely difficult to acquire these days and I still have three of them left there from 20 2019 uh very fun Bola to smoke H you can also have a lot of

Issues with it because the way they are rolled uh you can get all sorts of they can be clogged they cannot burn properly you can get all sorts of issues with it but they also uh give you all the good with the bad as well because they are so

Fun to smoke and you get a lot of complexity with them and they’re not boring as well and the same vitola which I have is from hoo de monter laasa Del Habano Edition so this is hoo de monter elegantes I only have one of these and then let’s move on to

My probably top three uh of my favorite cigars is Trinidad viia still have three of those their price went through the roof I think now there’s around 60 per stick uh they are beautiful they have a pigtail cap and U yeah they’re just amazing smoke I’m saving them until yeah the price are

Probably not going to go low anytime soon so I don’t know I’m just saving them for special occasions let’s put it that way and then the next I’m going to show you uh quite a few of uh Regional additions that I have in the humer so this is San christobal exclusivo

Austria this is a I think this is a robusto sized yeah this is the robusto uh cigar and it’s been released this year I haven’t tried it yet I’m going to age it for another six months at least because I wanted to be perfect when I

Tried but since it’s Sun crysto ball I expect it to be amazing so looking forward to trying that uh the price point was around €30 per stick and they’re clearly available ailable only in Austria I think then I have a cigar that was recommended to me this is the Juan Lopez

Laasa Delano this is also a Toro shaped vitola and I don’t know much about it uh I just know that it was recommended to me and that’s why I’ve got it so looking forward to trying it as well since it’s this big I’m going to need quite a quite

A lot of time to smoke it oh actually this is this is a bigger than Toro this is bigger than Toro because this is toro and then this is this has almost 2 cm on it so okay and then another Regional Edition so this is La Gloria kubana

Exclusivo Bulgaria and it also has this extended part of the band which says 25 anos years inspir Khan Li so sorry Khan kbe so 25 years uh anniversary of something I’m sorry I don’t know what exactly but this is the original edition of La Gloria kubana for

Bulgaria and another cigar that was also released in Bulgaria but it’s an exclusivo balani from El delmundo another Regional Edition exclusivo balcani here you go and this is quite a good cigar and actually it’s around €30 per stick it’s available in the vcon region and it’s an amazing cigar so for

Original Edition this is not expensive at all especially since since this is a bigger vitola than the robusto so you get a lot of cigar for the price another Regional Edition that I have is Ramon iones and this is exclusivo nordicos balticos I only have one left but this

Is an amazing cigar I reviewed it on the channel I think this summer and it could I smoked it a bit too early uh it could still use a bit more aging so that’s why I’m going to keep this one and age it for for a bit longer

Before I smoke it because it’s an amazing cigar and last Regional Edition that I have is another Ramon ionas and this is exclusivo adriatico so this is the cigar that been released for Adriatic region Catia is part of Adriatic we have the Adriatic Sea and it was only available

For purchase in Havana cigar shop so this is their blend so this is their cigar when I reviewed it I think 3 years ago so I didn’t quite like it but people uh have told me recently that with age it gets a lot better so I assumed that

Whenever I smoke this one is going to be much better than I initially uh than when I initially smoked it and reviewed it so I’m going to save it for for a bit longer because uh I don’t think they’re possible to get anymore I think they’re

Completely sold out and as you know uh all the regional editions are limited editions so they’re not available anymore and then I have some other limited editions so this is the Monte Cristo edit liit from 2016 haven’t tried it yet I think I got it as a present from my my wife um

Probably last Christmas or two years ago and then definitely one of my top favorite cigars again Ramon alones and this is the Edition limited edition from 2019 this torpedo shaped cigar absolutely gorgeous cigar they are still available to get in some places I saw them at Cavendish uh they don’t have

Them in Croatia anymore but yeah I’m definitely looking to acquire some more of these so I can smoke these two as well because they’ve been they’ve been in my humer for for a while and then to finish off this hum door let’s go with some Heavy Hitters kibas I have a classic Kiba

Robusto reviewed it on the channel before beautiful cigar and also a classic Kiba siglo 4 also very good cigar as you know koas prices have gone through the roof so I don’t know if it makes sense to smoke them to keep them D I don’t know you tell me

And finally there is still this special humidor that I have where I have my Kiba siglo sixes and I still have 11 of them as you can see wow the smell as I open the box the smell just kind of o beautiful I smoked one this summer I

Released the video of it I think two months ago so it’s an amazing cigar this is the first cigar that I rated as five out of five just Perfect Cigar perfectly built perfect smoke perfect complexity perfect strength all the Aromas that I like Kiba siglo 6 I’m going to save them

And I’m going to smoke them only in special occasions so this is it I think I have around 80 cigars I think I counted them um on yeah I counted them on cigar keep so guys uh good that I remembered all of these cigars you can find also on my

Profile on cigar keep cigar keep is basically website where uh people who like smoking huban cigars can input all their cigars that I have um as part of their inventory and you can see the list of all these cigars that I have and I update it on a daily basis or whenever I

Get something more or whenever I smoke something then I kind of reduce it but uh basically you can see all the cigar and the list of uh what I have on cigar keep so go check it out and yeah now I’m going to give you a closeup of all

  1. Great review… I always enjoy your collection update.. coincidentally I had a Quai DOrsay as I watched.. first time I’ve tried and enjoyable stick this early Christmas here in the US.. AMAZED HOW MUCH COMES OUT OF THAT VERY COMPACT HUMI!! great review. 👍🏽

  2. Hey man. Kottus here. Wow amazing that you have a No. 2. I need to get mine asap 🙂 yesterday on Christmas Eve I’ve smoked a Partagas Serie D No. 5 and construction wise I was really disappointed tbh. Same as you mentioned with the Romeo Y Julieta. In December I tried my first Ramon Allones in La Casa Del Habano in Hamburg. So smooth and creamy. Really liked it. So I am going to get a Davidoff No. 2 Sir but most importantly I wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year. Also for your wife 🙂 best regards from northern part of Germany and we will see each others in nice weather with the Davidoff, Cheers, Finn 😊
