  • Beyond the Leaf: Davidoff's Deconstructed
    Mar 24 2025

    Step into the world of refined craftsmanship and timeless tradition as we deconstruct the legend behind one of the most iconic cigar brands—Davidoff.


    In this special episode of Habano del Podcasto, we take you behind the leaf to explore the philosophy, discipline, and deep artistry that go into crafting a world-class cigar.


    Filmed once again at the Vintage Cigar Lounge, we light up the Davidoff Yamasá Robusto—a bold, complex cigar that became the perfect companion for a conversation rooted in quality, legacy, and intention.


    Much of what we discuss in this episode was inspired by the stunning documentary From Seed to Smoke: A Cigar’s Odyssey, which offers an intimate look into Davidoff’s meticulous cigar-making process in the Dominican Republic. From seed selection to fermentation, rolling, and aging, the film beautifully captures the love and labor behind every stick.

  • Beyond the Fast: A Cuban Affair of Cigars & Pairings
    Mar 17 2025

    In this special episode of Habano del Podcasto, we light up three of the rarest Cuban Limited Edition cigars, generously gifted by our fan-turned-friend, Stuart Warren from Glasgow.

    These cigars aren’t just smokes—they’re coveted collector’s items, nearly impossible to find and a true privilege to experience.


    Of course, securing who got to smoke what was another story entirely. To avoid any cigar theft (looking at you, Tallham), we had to hold a random draw—because let’s be honest, some of us wouldn’t have played fair otherwise.


    The Lineup – A Rare Treat for Cigar Aficionados

    • H. Upmann Connossieur B (Smoked by Omar) – Measuring 5 7/8 inches with a 54 ring gauge, this cigar was introduced in 2018 as a La Casa del Habano exclusive. Part of the legendary H. Upmann Connossieur line, it is revered for its elegance and refinement—a true connoisseur’s choice.
    • Ramón Allones 2020 Edición Regional - Sr. Henry - Exclusivo Alemania (Smoked by Tallham) – A Germany-exclusive release, created in honor of Heinrich Villiger’s 90th birthday, one of the biggest names in the cigar industry. Featuring the Geniales vitola (5.9 inches, 54 ring gauge), this limited-run cigar was restricted to just 18,000 numbered boxes, making it one of the most sought-after Ramón Allones regional editions.
    • Partagás Legado Edición Limitada 2020 (Smoked by Adham) – A Limited Edition release from Habanos S.A., featuring specially aged Cuban tobacco. With a 6.1-inch length and 48 ring gauge, this is one of the most difficult-to-find Partagás releases in recent years and is already fetching premium prices on the secondary market.

    Inside This Episode

    ✔️ What makes Cuban Limited Editions so special? Are they truly worth the hype, or are we all just caught up in the rarity chase?

    ✔️ The great cigar draw: The moment we realized that a “random selection” was the only way to keep things civil.

    ✔️ Pairing cigars the right way: Omar swears by coffee, while Adham debates whether he can ever go back to smoking regular, non-limited cigars.

    ✔️ Tallham’s deep dive into cigar reviewing: The moment he discovered that silence, a notebook, and a good cigar might be his perfect evening.

    ✔️ Cigar trivia that will blow your mind: How Churchill used British spies to secure his personal Cuban stash, and why JFK made sure his humidors were full before signing the embargo.

    ✔️ The generosity of a fan from Scotland: How Stuart’s gift turned this episode into one of our most memorable yet.


    And of course, no episode is complete without cigar-related chaos. From Tallham almost running off with all three cigars, to an ash disaster mid-episode, and Adham officially declaring himself a “limited edition cigar guy,” this one had plenty of laughs along the way.
