KIRBY ALLISON: THE CIGAR MASTERS
ATGroom replied to TomsRibs210's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Bit of a surprise to see myself front and centre on their list of masters.🤣 My involvement was an interview that Kirby and Adam shot with me in 2024. I don't recall saying anything especially revelatory, but hopefully it helps someone on their journey of cigar mastership. It was a fun experience. Lasted about an hour. I haven't seen any of the other content so I can't comment on that. One thing you're not going to be able to argue with is the production values. They had a whole set with multiple cameras, lights, about a 10 person crew. Every other interview I've ever done in cigar world has been shot on an phone, and if it's someone really professional they might have a lapel mic for you. Kirby is at a whole other level with that side of things. -
What's up for the weekend?

Thursday night was the UK release of the Punch Nectares Irlandia Regional at James J. Fox. I think the cigar has improved in the months since the original release in Dublin. Good times, good cigars, good whisky, shite weather but better than home. -
What's your latest NC purchase?

I will! Unfortunately have a cold right now, but the regular Churchill belicoso is one of my favorite non cuban short smokes. Incredible value and taste. -

I have somewhat of an interest in those new Belicoso’s. As a mixed filler, I’m curious how they’ll compare to the regular Late Hour cigars. Please let us know what you think! -

I did look at it and think I learnt all they're offering, and been on zooms, for free at FOH... But I'm sure it will be a great experience and a lot will figure the asking prices well worth it if they get to sit down/ zoom and have a cigar with the Sahakians and other personalities Kirby has interviewed over the years, not to mention one with him as well. I just hope it doesn't fall by the wayside like Cigar Keep did. -

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that there is likely nothing in this class that you can’t learn for free watching videos on YouTube and reading online. This is a money grab. To be nice. I’ll say that Kirby’s production quality is top notch for cigar content. -
Punch 48 LCDH, really great format but a bit of a hit and miss for overall experience. People seem to have varying takes on the cigar. Its generally a 8/10 for me. The cubancigarweb actually refers this as a Hermosos No 3. Lovely presentation as well with the custom bands. Punch does excel under 50RG in the coronas. Maybe people expect more than a Punch Punch when they pick and yet the Punch Punch is already such a distinguished cigar. Maybe.

Do any cigar bars/lounges still exist in NYC?

I loved that lighter that they had by the cash register. Sometimes I would walk to the ball fields in Central Park and watch everyone playing. Ahhhhh . -
I wouldn’t say there’s anything I dislike about the A, I just prefer the B a touch more. They are both similar but to me the B is a bit more refined that the A. Both great sticks and you can’t go wrong with either imo. From a pure flavor perspective, my ranking would go B, A (small gap), 1, then 2 (large gap). For whatever reason. I don’t really like the Connie 2. Between the first three, they are progressively better but the incremental cost doesn’t align. Simply put, they are all excellent cigars in their own way.

Just came across this new venture from noted shoe care and hanger impresario Kirby Allison called "The Cigar Masters" over at thecigarmasters.com. It's positioned as a MasterClass-style platform with subscription access to video content on cutting, lighting, storing and smoking cigars, featuring interviews with industry experts. Has anyone signed up for the Platinum tier? It started only today and already has 300 five-star reviews and testimonials, which is incredibly impressive. Would love to hear everyone thoughts

If you watch Benji's video, he's suspecting we either bottom in May or in October. We've got at least 12 months of bear before the bull shall return. -

yuppie replied to Markspring1978's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
As long as USD is the world's reserve currency and it's backed by debt, they just won't stop printing money, so eventually Bitcoin could be worth a billion per coin, it's just that a billion dollars wouldn't be worth what it is today. -

I know people still going down there very aware of the risks just to run medication and food (usually freeze dried) down there for friends they've made over the years. Here's a report of tourists being rounded up to maximize occupation in a few hotels while others are closed to conserve what little fuel they have: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/canadians-consolidated-into-hotels-in-cuba-amid-fuel-shortage/ - Yesterday
