A lot of places in Tokyo you can't smoke on the street. Though most bars and resturants you can. I don't think it will be long until UK bans it on the streets. Usman do you think setting a maunual focus would be better for you? You have a lot of hand movement that can bounce the auto focus aorund a bit. I have to say CGars have outstanding service and they store the cigars very well. Great interview, very informative.

Devastated Irish man here that will no longer be able to buy from cgars online anymore (thanks to Brexit). I'll greatly miss the vast selection and service from Cgars! It was great whilst it lasted, never a quibble over the years. So it's back to the very limited selection here in Ireland now thanks to the plain packaging laws. Hopefully the UK cigar retailers will push back on this a little bit better when the time (enevitably) comes. Look forward to calling in when in London again and stocking up.

@@andresalgado5816 Mitchell has been incredibly generous to us, I can't explain how much he's done for me and the channel. If you notice, he's not smoking very much in the video either and the reason for this is because the filteration system had to be shut off while filming. Can't smoke without the filter system unfortunately.

Gotta get on top of that audio guys. Listen to Orchant and tell me you can't hear how distorted it is.., and I'm not even an audiophile. It's harsh and crackles on certain frequencies. Probably too much amp on a mic or something, because it seems to be directional, as well as the fact that audio levels are too high in general, but that's just a guess on my part. Background filtering is also poor, there is no reason we have to hear that machinery hum if you get it right. It's classic how audio is the last thing that gets fixed in media production, and for many years, YT'ers and others didn't take it seriously. But trust me when I say in actuality it's probably more important than the image, though people may not consciously realize as much.

We smoked after filming. Mitchell wasn't really smoking either he was mostly just holding a cigar. The purifier was switched off at the time so we couldn't smoke.
