For real?

Scanned through it and it seems like a load of ill-informed, self-satisfied and sanctimonious drivel.

This quote seems to rather sum the man up:

"I have been smoking and selling cigars for over 30 years now. I’ve smoked them all and consider myself somewhat of an expert in the field as pretentious as that sounds."

Wow, I'm sure we're all impressed!

As you know , just by my comments on here , I know not a lot about cigars but I smoked between 15-30 in a fortnight when I was in Cuba recently ( various types ) . I have smoked a fair few since I got home ( mostly Cohiba ) and on no occasion did I have any trouble with them burning or staying alight so that part of the article I find quite hard to believe . Other comments of his such as ' never been a big fan ' might be a bit of a clue as well I think .

Nice little documentary on youtube called 'Cigars: the heart and soul of Cuba' showing exactly how cigars of different brands are blended in different ways to produce the end product, watched it last night, worth a watch (some bits are in Spanish with Italian subtitles, but thankfully not too much)

But he's the cigar AUTHORITY....!!! And I think you might have missed just how SHOCKING his conclusion really was...! The reason why you didn't have these problems yourself might be that you didn't smoke them as expertly as he did. I can't think of any other possible reason why your experiences differ so greatly...

I've seen that one before. Would love to see one with English subtitles. Anybody got an idea where this can be found with English subtitles?
