I actually think this might be the best cigar video on the internet. This guy knows what he is talking about. It's almost like he owns a cigar company ;)

Cigars are such a work of art. Very underappreciated.

A good cigar with some good spirit and a view of the beach can bring a grown man to tears of joy

You are a very good communicator. I’m learning a lot.

Now this is what I call marketing! Passively getting the word out whilst being helpful. Thanks and cheers from Germany!

This channel makes a certain popular, large format, glossy cigar magazine look like a comic book. I am ordering Perdomos today - and going to consider it my tuition.

Beautiful description of a very annoying problem. I haven’t had this happen very often in premium cigars, but when you cheap out, you’ll see it a lot. Thanks for the explanation, Nick!

Best cigar maker in the industry. Never once in 7 years smoking have I smoked a bad Perdomo cigar

I've been saying, for years, that rushing the growth of vegetables has a negative impact on quality. It didn't even occur to me that growers of tobacco were doing the same thing. In retrospect, it shouldn't be surprising. I like how Mr. Perdomo puts forth an effort in appearance, and clear communication. Gotta respect a guy who still breaks out a suit. It gives one the impression that he knows what he's talking about, and that he puts care and effort into his product. It's a good marketing strategy; I have every intention of trying a Perdomo cigar, at my earliest opportunity.

Came across this channel a few months ago, yesterday, treated myself to a cigar, was at the local shop, saw the Perdomo logo, and bought one, found the video of how to properly light a cigar, and thoroughly enjoyed my smoking experience. Thank you 🙏

I enjoy listening to this man. Such an eloquent speaker.

Perdomo isn't one of my favorite cigars. Had 2 that burned badly but I blame that on the shop I got it from and 3 that I didn't enjoy the flavor of. That said I have had several that I did enjoy and most of my friends love them. Very informative video and I love his set up. I wish my smoking room was like his.

Very informative video. I have become quite the cigar enthusiast but have only been smoking them a few months. I have since invested in a high quality v-cutter, guillotine and punch. I also purchased a decent quality humidor with digital hygrometer and a 5 stick capacity travel humidor as I'm always on the go. My last major investment was a Cigar Dossier to record my experiences of daily smokes so this has become a serious hobby for me. While I have only had a few Perdomo smokes, I do recall how great of an experience I had with each one...most memorable was the 25th Anniversary Edition. I have had trouble being able to distinguish the different notes on my palette while smoking certain sticks and I clearly remember how "peppery" flavored that 25th Anniversary was towards the end. That one marked the very first time I was able to truly taste the essence of a fine cigar. Needless to say, there will always be Perdomos on rotation in my humidor. Great product Sirs and great tip Nick on pressing down on the foot of the uneven side before retouching. I will certainly try this with my next uneven burn*

I can listen to Nick talk about Tabacco and cigars all day and night so informative and interesting thanks for these

Nick. Just bought a 20th anniversary sungrown. Enjoyed it so much i went back and bought a box of them. Normally smoke oliva or Arturo Fuente. You have a convert now. Great job.

What a classy, intelligent tutorial. Much of your notes on craftmanship are arguments against so called bargain brands. Living in high desert, maintaining humidity is problematic. Over correcting has caused unhappy outcomes. Thanks for explaining why.

Nick, you are my cigar father. The 20th Anniversary Sun Grown was the 3rd box I ever purchased (2nd was a bundle of Perdomo Fresco). It was largely because of the way you exemplify what is great about the cigar industry that got me hooked.

Always learn something new watching Nick. 👌

Thanks. Another great video 👍👌

These are really good videos. For those of us who really enjoy cigars this information is appreciated.

Very helpful tips! I usually smoke cigars three times a day. Out of a box of 25, will occasionally run into what you have touched upon. One work around that I discovered many years ago, is to trim the area that is not burning properly. Then relight. Your definitely 100% correct regarding that some cigars will unfortunately have to be discarded.

Dapper, well informed and great communicator of the art of the leaf.

Your channel has the highest production quality than any cigar channel. Keep it up. I see your channel growing. Smoke on. Also it isn't boring as shit.

Thought this very informative. I appreciate him talking to us as adults and not down. Thank you Mr Pedromo

Thank you Nick. You truly are the real deal when it comes to cigars...and suits 👍

Another awesome Perdomo production 👍🏻

Fantastic tips, Nick. As a beginner I used to keep my cigars a little too humidified, which did cause combustion problems. Once I found a sweet-spot for my humidor, things got better. I've never had a Perdomo stick canoe on me and I've smoked nearly your entire catalog. Really like the factory tour blend recently.

Another thing to mention is storage conditions beyond proper humidity- ROTATION! I don’t sit there and turn everything around on the shelf but I certainly move my shelves around within my stand up humidor. Bottom shelf to top, etc. when u have a lot of cigars, as some of us so blessed, sometimes only the tops of most cigars are getting exposed to the air circulation. So it’s important to move stuff around at least every month or so. It’s nice too because you’ll cone across some beauties you mighta forgotten you even had!!

Perdomo is my go to cigar but smoked another “premium” cigar this evening. That $20.00 stick tunneled on me all the way. I’ll be back to Perdomo tomorrow night. 👍🏼

The more I watch the more I learn. You explain everything in great detail and you never cover anything up and that's why I enjoy these videos. Seeing how much quality control is put into your cigars, I'm gonna start smoking ONLY Perdomo cigars!!!!!!🔥💯😎

This was such and informative video about not just cigars, but about Perdomo cigars! Now I’m going to try a Perdomo cigar!

I can speak from personal experience, 9 out of 10 times when I've had an uneven burn, it has been without question my fault for lighting it wrong. I did have an interesting 'over humidified' experience. I was in Kuala Lumpur at Cigar Malaysia and there was a roller there doing freshly rolled full Indonesian sticks. The owner told all of us there that we could expect them to burn unevenly because, well, they'd JUST been rolled. Still, the opportunity to try a 'freshly rolled' cigar doesn't come along very often, so I got one. All things considered, it burned pretty well (he was doing the mini tubes thing you mention above, no bookends here) but it DID keep going out. Still, pretty interesting and a decent smoke.

Fantastic advice and channel. Learn something new every time I watch.

Awesome tip. I did not think I could squeeze it to open up the airways. Good tip.

Amazing video , this guys is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks nick !

Your video series was recommended to me. Glad I watched. Watched and liked several. Thanks Mr Perdomo for sharing your knowledge. Enjoyed it!

Nick, I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. as I have embarked on the cigar journey it’s good to have cigar guys like yourself sharing their cigar knowledge. P.S currently awaiting my first Perdomo Habano and can’t wait to try it. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great videos lately and great production. Love the intro. Keep up the videos!

Great video Nick, thanks for posting!

Fantastic, knowledgeable information. Outstanding video quality. Thank you Nick!

Mr. Perdomo, thank you again for a great cigar-educational video. Your family's products are iconic and have been part of my celebrations with many of my veteran friends when we all get together. I always have at least five Barrel-aged Sungrown Maduros in my humidor and use them as an example of what a great cigar should be. Thanks for all that you do for our beloved pastime.

Great video. Thanks Nick. This is why I love your cigars

Thanks for the great information!

I appreciate you taking the time to teach some of us with that problem. 👌🏾💨💨💨💨💨

Thank you for the information.

I can listen to Nick Perdomo about cigars all day

Thank you...I learned something new. Every cigars you produce is like Picasso.. beautiful, classy and elegant. I love it. Keep up the great work.

Love these videos. Great production value and great cigars. Might enjoy one this afternoon.

Good content 🙏🏻 thank you

Terrific series of videos. And beautiful smoking room. Thanks for making them.

Thank you, I want to say I have been frustrated the last couple days. I am a semi novice smoker and I am truly thankful for this article/video. I have been experiencing just what your video expresses. I bought some very expensive cigars, for my budget Drew Estates ACID, and was so disappointed by the burning I had. So seeking some assistance this video made it clear what I was doing wrong. I light up many times to keep the ash going. Burning the bottom to get a better draw. Keep it going. No patience. It was burning uneven on three of the sticks I was using. I thought it was because of faulty rolling but learned it was ME. Today I had the best burn and consistent result by applying what Nick Perdomo stated. I am a follower as of this week. Thank you

Love these videos! I learn something in every one.

Great information, Nick!

Very interesting I love the way Nick explained it in a way that he wasn’t talking down to us or to me I should say learned awful lot great video

Thanks for your support

This is why Perdomo will be the first box of cigars I buy. The attention to quality is second to none.

Just found your channel. Thanks you so much. I started smoking a couple of years ago and learned some things on the fly because shyness wouldnt allow me to ask patrons on the cigar shop. Your channel reaffirmed some of my practices, taught me new practices, as well as gave me tips to prefect others. Thank you.

Good, relevant information. Thank you. Despite my taking the time and care to light cigars, many is the time I have had to touch up a good cigar because it has decided to burn unevenly. So it goes, I suppose, when one consumes an organic, hand made product.

These videos are soothing.

Greatly appreciated! This explained a lot.

Thank you for the information. I just finished a stick with a one-sided burn in the first third that I probably would have had to touch up repeatedly. Your technique worked and the rest of the stick was totally acceptable.

Great videos Nick. Thanks for the education.

Great tips and explanations, Nick, thank you! 😃👍🏻

A couple weeks ago I came upon this video about tunneling here and the pushing down of the cigar to open it and burn properly. I came upon this today with my cigar and remembered this technique. It worked and was able to finish enjoying my cigar. Thank you, Mr. Perdomo!

Thanks for the information. I've had them burn uneven on several occasions.

Someone just can’t go wrong with a Perdomo cigar. Nick is an artist.

I just got serious about my cigar love and this is problem that is happening to me and this video truly helps ! I have yet to have a Perdomo cigar but they will be next purchase my favorite lighter and cutter is the Perdomo torch and cutter set and a good set I love it !

You are a class act Nick. Love your cigars.

Great information / education...thank you Nick!

That's such a beautiful humidor.

Great video! Thanks.

Fantastic video once again....happy watching from the UK...

Great vid guys!

When I light my cigar I use a strong torch about 4 inches apart from the cigar and torch the cigar until it lights itself, first I light the cigar or toast the cigar to mold the binder and wrapper together and then I rotate the torch without pulling on the cigar to the point where it lights itself and then I blow on the front end of the cigar and then start smoking; flavor preserved

That humidor is absolutely stunning Nick🤝🏿

Appreciate the tip re: 'over-humidifying', which I tend to set a little higher anyway to 'compensate' for Arizona's uber-dry desert climate that often seems to suck the moisture outta everything as soon as it leaves the humidor. Though sounds like my own frequent 'canoeing' issues could mean I'm 'over-compensating' a bit in the humidity dept ...Grazie!

Great information, new sub!

Been a cigar smoker for over 40 years and learned something here👍

Thanks for these information sessions. These are awesome. They are presented with zero pretentiousness and with a ton of great content. It's also nice knowing it comes from a real expert and not someone like me that just picks this stuff up second hand. I've loved your company for years, you are one of the favorite originals that continues to make world class cigars. The lot 23 is as good now as it was 15 years ago.

Perdomo is one of my favorite brands. I especially like the Habano sun grown epicure and the Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro.

Around 20 of the 10th anniversary Connecticut left in my humidor, best ever

I feel like Nick would be a fun guy to hang out with.. Has good products. Good guy

Love your videos you explain things well!

Very informative. Thank you.

Thank you Nick.

Great video. Beautiful humidor. And nick is dressed very sharp. Makes me want to smoke a cigar surrounded by leather bound books

Thank You for this video. And I Love you're cigars. I have not had a bad cigar ever from you.

A lot of great information. Thanks~

Grew up in Lancaster county PA, and used to see them picking tobacco and hanging it in barns. Then when riding bike through the country there was the sweetest smell of tobacco drying. Powerful memory even though I don't smoke but one cigar a year.

One thing I’ve noticed, with well constructed cigars, when I get uneven burn that I can rotate it and hold it in a single position and smoke it there until it catches up. It only works with cigars that are well made.

was very informative...thanks bud

I get this so often with Fuente cigars. Also Fuentes have some sort of hard center almost seems like a piece of wood in the center. Perdomo is pretty solid however my father and I have had the HSV Sun Grown and the wrapper is super fragile.

Thank you NP for your suggestion on the book opening push of a cigar that has a wonky burn it worked wonders on the cigar that I’m smoking today. Alas it is not a Perdomo cigar. But then I’ve never had an issue with a Perdomo cigar having a wonky burn.

Very interesting video, i had no idea that the 1st point affect the burn. Plus the tips are very helpful! I place the uneven part down and touch up if it happens but next time this happen i am going to try the push method too. Thank you for these great videos. Kindest regards Al janabi

Currently enjoying one of your fine cigars as I'm watching. Salud

Very informative video.

Yes it has and with Perdomo cigars it has happened a lot!

I want that humidor. I love Perdomo

Perdomo was what got me into the cigar world, champagne noir churchill i found at the little brown smoke shop in yakima Washington made me fall in love with cigars.
