The man speaks so carefully he takes the term “choose your words” to a completely different level outside of mundane humans reach. He literally NEVER mis-speaks! I can really learn from men like this, they remind me of my grandfather and his generation of gentleman. Eddies a smooth ass dude, he’s definitely invited to the cook out 🙌🏾😂

his voice is a 10/10, but its his pacing and cadence that make him an expert orator and conversationalist. each word selected and placed just as it should be to construct a wonderful sentence that actually says and does what it means to in an eloquent manor none the less is just brilliant. i love Louis Theroux documentaries for the way he disarms people with words.

I have never smoked a cigar and have no relation to the particular industry/lifestyle but somehow I fell myself strangely drawn to the content of yours especially with the Sahakians family. They really seem to be good hearted and humble people. I like that when people are not ego driven but have respectful freindly nature.

I watch these videos not for the cigars, but for the Sahakians! Thanks for another video Kirby!

I had the pleasure of meeting Eddie Sahakian in London. By luck I saw him locking up the shop at 6pm and knocked on the door asking if I could take a picture. Eddie was shocked that somebody would notice him an I was a bit starstruck. Such a gentleman he is, we talked about cigars and the importance of family. I was told by my father to visit the shop in London like he used to decades ago. Meeting Eddie was a very nice experience he is a very genuine and polite man. Honestly, I can't wait to visit the shop again and hopefully talk to him again! 😃

I know this is a year old now but at the 12:10 mark The way Eddie's smile drops and the sincerity with which he thanks Kirby and tells him his opinion means a lot to them is so heart warming, the Sahakians are such gentlemen

The respect shown between father and son is such a delight to watch. Thank you Kirby for offering such a great insight into the world of Davidoff and the charming Sahakians.

As a Marketing student I find these types of videos very insightful, showing how the product itself is only part of the experience. I think Eddie his father realise this more than anyone, it's about story telling (as demonstrated in their packaging and branding) craftsmanship, lifestyle, nostalgia, mutal interest, togetherness, and being a part of somethhing which (I imagine) feels almost magical as soon as you step into their shop. It's not just about the cigars but the experience as a whole, envoking emotion and establishing connection. Which Eddie and his father appear to be exceptionally good at, they are able to put themselves in the "shoes" of their clients very well. And the best thing about it, it's authentic, a great demonstration of Business and Marketing done right with the client in mind. Great content Kirby!

@patrickhemus8102

Very well said dude. Their utter genius marketing and salesmanship is in making you feel like you're in a special place, partaking in a special event and are, in fact, special yourself! But also like you said, I believe that they actually believe all of those things too, which makes it so wonderful. And if you know any Persians, you know that it is DEEPLY embedded in their culture to be immense hosts and to treat their guests like royalty. I've experienced in it many times and even being with refugees who receive £35 a week to live off are able to make you feel very special. I run a business that focuses on what my ideal client wants out of the service, and it has been easy to close deals because of this. When you know your customer and talk to them about their problems and what they'd want in a service, it's easy to sell to other customers of the same profile. The Sahakians understand the desire for exclusive, special experience!

Thank you gentlemen. These videos are a reminder that respect and manners cost you nothing but are priceless.

When Edward Sahakian is smoking a cigar, the cigar ash doesn't obey the laws of physics, it obeys the laws of the Sahakians. When we smoke a cigar, it falls on our lap immediately.

These gentlemen are amazing to listen to and observe. I live in the Nottingham area, and will make it my business to visit the shop at some point when I eventually get to visit London again.

Absolute class, congratulations on the 40th anniversary from a fellow Armenian

What an excellent Christmas present to end the day. The best videos on this channel are these 3 gentlemen together, conversing and sharing interests for one another. Thank you Sahakians and thank you Kirby for the video. All the best for '22.

A wise father and a blessed son, the Sahakian's are truly one of a kind. I'm happy for them and for you too Kirby. I love this channel!!!!❤❤🌹🌹👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Absolutely phenomenal, gentlemen. I cannot think of a better way to spend the holidays than to watch this brilliant occasion while enjoying a fine cigar and beautiful Scotch myself alongside such auspicious conversation on the momentous 40th anniversary of the beautifully appointed shop that is Davidoff of London. Cheers and all honour to you all in this wonderful season of Christmas!

Another outstanding video Kirby. Well done! You and the Sahakians are a wonderful and refreshing partnership. I hope to see many more in future. All the best for 2022. Blessings.

What a beautiful experience Kirby this must've been. what a honor. i enjoyed every second of this chat. Thank you

These videos always bring such joy, the great amount of respect & mannerisms towards each other are so heart warming. I wish great health to you all, and hope you have a great new year.

Love listening to these gentlemen. I honestly cannot wrap my head around how energy consuming it must be for men like this to constantly be maintaining such a proper and straight laced speech and body language. I'm a bit of a degenerate myself, so I could only keep that up for a few minutes at best.

Love the tradition, history, grace & fellowship of these videos. Thank you for sharing.

Always a pleasure to watch/listen to an episode with the Sahakian's, perfect manners and always soft spoken - tbh, I could fall asleep listening to them talk, it really is soothing for me. (definitely unintentional asmr, for sure)

A truly amazing video. I will never get tired of watching you enjoy company with the Sahakians. Especially with the company of a cigar. I absolutely love the stories you are able to capture from both Eddie and Edward. Please keep this up. Love from Wales

Always a pleasure to watch you gentlemen, what a nice company. God bless your family.

Kirby I would rate this far and beyond your best video to date. What an incredible group. I don’t even smoke cigars and I thoroughly enjoyed this

10:10 The tasting glasses are better than a tumbler to truly appreciate that fine spirit 🥰

I'm so happy I discovered your videos Kirby. I have enjoyed them immensely.

All I got to say what a wonderful life man. You got to feel proud to be so blessed to have the opportunities to have these experience’s cheers man

Need to get them all down the local weatherspoons. They would love it 🍻

I enjoy all of your videos Kirby but the episodes with the Sahakians are certainly up there as some of the best for me. Great to see you folks enjoying yourselves together in person. Cheers!

Davidoff, had my first one back when this Covid started, highly enjoyed. Tried saving the small box, well it didn’t last long…will get more

Such gentlemen. I enjoy getting a sneak peak into your travels and your friends. Congratulations on 40 years

Spectacular episode Kirby… the conversations you gentlemen had was of a bygone era, the fast past life here in America is dismal. How I wish we all could just slow down, have a fine cigar and an equally dramatic dram of whiskey and just enjoy a great conversation amongst friends. Thank you Kirby for making my day…

As a whisky enthusiast it's lovely to watch the pairing of a 39 year old Glenrothes with these cigars to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Edward opening the shop 🥃

Listening to the father and son it’s very inspiring and emotional you could feel the love for each other

this conversation is like an elegant dance. really enjoyed the video. thank you! ☺

Beautiful video, with wonderful people. Thank you for these fascinating insights. ❤

The love he has for his dad is simply beautiful. One day I ll have a box of your cigars in my house

They are really amazing people, thank you Kirby for the content.

I’ve watched a so many of your videos but this is the first time I comment. Congrats! Awesome work and great company. I admire the chivalry of you 3 gentlemen.

Lieutenant Dan is a gentleman who knew!

Currently panicking watching Edward tell stories and waving his cigar around with a huge ash at the top 😂 He truly is a grandmaster of cigars

Excellent video Kirby, splendid showcase of the shop

Love your visits with the Sahakians Kirby! After hearing Eddie's description of the Dominicana, I had to buy a box. Can't wait for them to arrive!

Kirby, you sir are a gentleman. And I cannot wait until I get to meet you three in person! Cheers!

Great video Kirby, three very courteous gentlemen. I’m enjoying learning more about cigars and their history

Super insightful of cigar connoisseurs, for myself as a cigar fanatic love your content. Thank you

Omg I have to try this cigar, nothing can replace the 702 series. It was the best 2hrs 22min of my life. The 702 had to have been 7in with a 43 ring gauge. Beautiful cigar.

I really enjoy the videos with the Sahakians. Definitely adding their shop to my bucket list

Thank you so much. We enjoyed it.

I’ve only just found this channel but my word. Class acts all the way! Excellent!!

Such Great Gentlemen You all are. Congratulations on their anniversary I just got a chance to indulge in one of those great cigars they are wonderful

Merry Christmas Kirby…these are the best videos!

Another excellent segment Kirby. Your dialogue with the Sahakians is priceless. It is so great that you have crossed paths with them. In the 1990s and early 2000s, I did a lot of work on Pall Mall which is not too far away from the Davidoff shop and would stop in periodically. It is a really nice experience and recommend to anyone if they happen to be in London. If you know a member of the Royal Automobile Club and if they still allow smoking in that fine club, you might want to consider sharing a cigar with the Sahakians in that setting. Keep the great videos coming!

These interviews are fantastic!

watching this for a second time. The level of respect that Eddie has in the way he speaks to his father is remarkable. I really wish more people would speak to their parents like that. "Allow me to bring this (the ashtray) to you." Of utmost respect.

True gentlemen, it's an honour to hear the Sahakian's talk. This shop was founded the same year of my birth, and I love to follow their work.

What a pleasure it is to be in the presence of these gentlemen. Thank you Kirby!
