Fantastic insights... thoroughly enjoyed it! Many thanks to Hamlet, Rob and the crew. 

Note: Chapters are in the progress bar if you want to skip around. 

[El Presidente]

Grab a drink and a cigar. Plan some time to watch the movie 😁

That was fantastic. I watched the whole thing. I have a much better understanding of what's to come and how the process comes about. Also how lucky are we to have such a resource. Thank-you Hamlet. Thank you Rob.

Great movie!

[99call]

Awesome.   I must admit, I was left with more questions than answers by the first video that went out (although also really enjoyable)

This video really gave the clarity, and a real window into the process

Hats off gents

Ok @El Presidente.  I'm pretty sure there needs to be some sort of annual FOHstival with Hamlet where we can properly celebrate these cigars.  Long weekend in Miami with all the FOHsters perhaps?  I think a few of us would show up.

On the agenda 😎

2024 FOH tour would include functions at least in Hong Kong, London, LA,  Miami.

This was an excellent conversation I am very happy to have watched live. I will definitely be watching again!

Great video and good to see Hamlet doing so well. I miss my visits with him in Havana but I’m so happy that he is doing what he loves and getting all the rewards he deserves for his hard work. 

[Popof4]

That was highly informative.  Thanks for putting it together.  👏

Sounds great. Easy trip for me from Shanghai to Hong Kong. Already looking forward to this opportunity to meet other BOTL/SOTL in this region!

Also, thanks to Rob and Hamlet for arranging the Masterclass Zoom session. I watched it with an N1 Colorado Maduro - 2 hour smoke that perfectly complemented the conversation. The best bits for me were Hamlet sharing an insight into his life and his ‘philosophy of the leaf’. He is so right when he says… nothing connects people like a good cigar. And you guys make a great cigar!

They say the camera adds 10 lbs.  How many cameras were on me?

Riveting. So relieved to hear about the tasting notes. I too think you all fruit bats with your peanuts, blueberry butter, coffee with aniseed flavours, sourdough. I feel more relaxed because I think I might taste things more like Hamlet ☺️

I think it's great that you are talking in the video about the annual labelling. Because this is so clear that year on year things change. I can see multi year bundles of the various cigars in my humidor. And I expect I'm not alone. Very clever and honest way to present. 

There are a few cigars that really give me that right journey of sweetness and complexity, aroma and strength. And they've been across totally different Cuban cigars. So I'm expecting more of this from yours. No pressure...

 

But if there's no lesser cigars ... Can there still be great ones...?

 

Looking forward to the London event. And maybe an excuse to go to Miami ☺️☺️☺️

That'd be sweet! I hope Miami gets scheduled right at the beginning of hurricane season. It's so much cheaper.

What a fantastic conversation. Hamlet is a brilliant communicator and articulated so well his knowledge of blending and constructing cigars through the stories he shared. What a remarkable journey he has had in life and it’s no wonder he has found success in his endeavors. It’s immediately apparent he puts his heart and soul into not just blending and constructing a good cigar but truely caring for and educating those around him in the process. His enthusiasm for the 2023 canonazo and lancero blends is contagious (“‘making love right now” while smoking a canonazo 😂) and I am very much looking forward to trying both and, with any luck, a meetup In Miami. Congrats to Hamlet and team on what will surely be a triumph!

Who was Debbie?  She looked rather masculine 😉

/me runs… 🙂

Ha! Maybe he moonlights.

I think Debbie was his gambling name.

Slowly working my way through the video, really interesting so far.

Will there be enough stock to go around? The effectiveness of your marketing is concerning me. I wasn't even that bothered about a Canonazo but now I'm fully hyped.

[Lamboinee]

I can just barely see his tattoo through that suit.

There will be plenty to go around. 

It is nice to see triumvirate of transparency, communicaiton and passion making a marketing comeback
