Good Cigar Construction
In the open call for Answering Viewer Questions, someone asked if I could demo deconstruction of a good vs. poor cigar. While I can’t, because I don’t know a cigar has poor construction until it’s smoked, I can show you a good one. Previous videos have already shown poor as I was smoking. I didn’t mind sacrificing this one for two reasons. First and most importantly, I knew with 100% certainty it was constructed right – because I made it. All of it. Second, it sucks 
I’m a terrible blender and roller, they came out pretty bad, at least the last time I tried it. I’ll revisit them at some point but am in no hurry. Anyway, I show you how the vast majority of properly constructed cigars should be. (more…)

How To Build A Cigar Coolidor
I get this question so much I had to make a video – even though it’s nothing magic! It’s kinda like doing touchups – there is so much mystery, myth and pure bullshit about the subject people just think there’s more to it than there really is. So here’s all it takes in a nutshell. Buy cooler. Wash Cooler. Dry cooler. Put in cigars, the more the better, including boxes. Use good beads. Enjoy! ANYTHING else is your personal choice, but nothing else is needed to function. I’ve been running this configuration for many years. The last 600+ reviews have been out of this exact setup. (more…)
