I'm gonna build a university out of my garage.
As long as you serve beer and cigars, I'll attend!!!:D

That guy is my hero. He went out there not knowing Jack sh!t about cigars and totally game faced an award winning instructional video.

I learned so much. I have been cutting and lighting my cigars all wrong this whole time. Thanks Mr. Milo you are the BEST:tu

Thanks for the link Dave

I love this place. Only here could you go from Ruprect and the How to Video to Cypress Hill and Hits From the Bong! Awesome.

That video made me feel the same way I did after I watched Cabin Boy. I was looking around the room to make sure I could have 100% denial that it never happened.

The way he says it (aficionado) suggests that he has something to teach! As you said, "How Not to Smoke a Cigar 101!"

As others have mentioned... WTF was the pocket knife for??? Doesn't he say, "As a last resort"? Last resort to... blowing my brains out after watching his instructional video???

I still want a grant!!!

I can't believe we just had a Cabin Boy reference. That is pretty obscure. Cabin Boy references have to be about as rare as people who love the movie.

But with the size of the planet and the amount of humans on it, odds are that somewhere, there is someone who LOVES Cabin Boy. I mean it's their favorite movie of all time. They can't stop talking about Cabin Boy and trying to hound all their friends into watching it.

God bless us, every one.

I fired an email off to the website that this video was actually made buy(http://www.askmrmilo.com/) with some general comments about the video and to find a little back story into why the video was made. Here is the response.

We always refer people to a reputable cigar store to speak with the proprietor when more information is requested.

Some background on the video - The "cigar aficionado" is my father. He is 81 and enjoys coming home from work (yes, he still enjoys going to work) and sitting outside and having a smoke.

We made this video for our enjoyment, never imagining that anyone would view it other than a few of his friends and family members. That close to 40,000 individuals would look at it surprises us, especially when there are far more professional cigar videos on Youtube and on the web, than this one.

Your comments are always welcome on our site - to either our replies or to the questions posted by others.

Again, thanks for writing.

Milo

As much of a train wreck as that so called "instructional video" was, I watched it again today just because I needed a laugh so if nothing else its a good thing to watch when you need a pick me up laugh.

Re: I am a cigar aficianado!
 
Hey I don't feel bad it was an entertaining video of an older gentleman trying to keep busy. It may not be keeping true to its original intention but they said it was more of a for fun thing so as long as those involved had fun then that's really what matters.

ReggieFSULaw 02-10-2009 09:51 PM
Re: I am a cigar aficianado!
 
WOW. So many things wrong with that video. He's obviously been around long enough to know better. I don't know what was worse, the horrible cut or the use of a Bic. That cigar deserved better than that.

Re: I am a cigar aficianado!
 
the comments crack me up

"so i inhale oxygen, and let the cigar smoke go into my mouth, but dont let the smoke go down my thoat. than i exhale and the smoke goes out of my mouth and i inhale oxygen and put the cigar in my mouth and let the smoke go into my mouth and over and over again? "

lol !!!

Re: I am a cigar aficianado!
 
I hope to make it another 32 years enjoying life and smoking cigars the way I like.:ss
Even if I have to cut with a knife and light with a bic. Instructional, the video is not, but serious it is not either.
Give the guy a break. 81 years old! :tu
Still, when he said "there are three kinds of cigars" I thought he was going to show the three that he had on the table there.:r

Maybe the grant paid for the other two cigars and the pocket knife... Just a thought!!!:tu

Re: I am a cigar aficianado!
 
I found the initial posting of his video quite amusing, due to the video's quaint nature, but having read the five pages of this thread and the scorn heaped upon this man, I cannot but feel for him. Give the guy a break!

He did not claim to be a world renowned expert, but merely an aficionado, which means that cigars arouse his affection. (aficionado: from the Spanish aficionar: to arouse affection).

Furthermore, his peculiar technique has probably served him well for many years. It works for him. I have only sympathy for his affection and passion and think disdain for his odd technique is uncharitable. Surely, proper technique contributes to the enjoyment of cigars, but affection and passion still rank higher in my estimation than technique. Although one may not learn 'proper' cigar technique or etiquette from his video, he has shared his passion for cigars with 40320 viewers, which is a good thing as far as I am concerned. In doing so he has done more for our beloved passion than many of us. Our wonderful pastime needs all the promotion it can get.
