Video Topic Requests

[El Presidente]

Name your video topic requests and I will see what we can do. 

We are shooting our inhouse vids this Thursday.  No, our insurers won't permit a warehouse filming 

Give it some thought. Happy to help out if I can!

[Hadroxity]

Updated psp/hq video please sir!

Maybe a video on your favorite cigars coming in this year.

[JohnS]

El Pres, can you do a video on how you approach smoking different cigars of various sizes and/or marcas? Just little tips.  I think we could could all glean a few handy ideas from you.

[Astar20]

The best of all vitolas video! A poll and review of the best vitolas! 

Or the best from each category 

Best long and skinny 

Best short and fat

Best EL

And best regional! 

[Tstew75]

Pres, I'd like to see you blaze thru the top 10 Marcas or so, giving your '20 words or less' about style of each. It be fun in a fast abbreviated format.

Also, I'd love to see one with a lineup of YOUR favorite CCs to smoke...could be current, or all-time faves.

[rcarlson]

I'd like to see some blind tastings.  Let's score you boys.  

[CampDelta369]

El Pres, along the lines of @JohnS thoughts:

The use of cutters, why you prefer a punch over guillotine or V-cut? Or does the Marca dictate that tool of choice?

How do you properly correct burn issues without screwing up the flavor profile too much?

If you use a Perfect Draw tool, what is your preferred method of unplugging or improving draw?

What Marcas in your rotation you tend to dry box if any, to improve burn and flavor?

A video montage of all the reviews over the past 10-15 years, focusing on your changing hairstyle and bad taste in shirts.

I would love to see a cooking / cigar show .....where El Pres and Ken both make a dish while reviewing a cigar with a judge not knowing who's dish is who claim a winner. The winner choose the clothing attire for the other during the next normal FOH cigar review.

[MD Puffer]

FOHtv topics or FOHtrensics ideas?

[benfica_77]

Also I know no warehouse filming which we would all drool over but I understand the liability but maybe do a video of your own personal humidor? Explaining interesting cigars / boxes along the way.

+1 for JohnS's idea! Mine will be Pros and Cons for each alternative cigar storage such as Tupperdor, Coolidor and Wineador, as well as how to build Coolidor and Wineador (or Cigar Cabinet) without using Spanish Cedar for those who have difficulty to source Spanish Cedar like me.

Also last one....it was previously mentioned above and is the alluding to an idea I have had for some time and was going to see if there was interest. The idea was.... pick two Marcas per week... only regular production cigars and vote for each marca FOH's favourite cigar. People would have 1 week to vote.  After we were done figuring out the favourite cigar per marca do a randomization and pit them one against another tournament style until one stick prevailed. It would answer a lot of the similar questions asked on here and could be used as a reference in the future. If there is interest I would love to organize this beginning in September since I will be away from a computer for a couple of weeks in August travelling for my honeymoon.

Great!

Let’s see, MoeFOH already demonstrated how to properly match ring gauge with the size of one’s nostril....what else is there to possibly learn? 

Seriously though, I’d love to see a short vid introducing us to the fine ladies and gents working behind the scenes at FoH....unless of course, they wish to remain anonymous ?

* Run down of the different marcas and your stand out vitolia in them.

* Your approach to picking out flavours in cigars.

[Riverstyx]

A video watching you go through a couple dozen boxes and rating them live. We can witness how fast you decide, and see the boxes that make and don’t make the cut.  No audio necessary, just action (okay, maybe Rocky theme song in the background). 

[david9985]

I'd love to see a real-time unpacking and rating of a full mastercase.

[RicoIsHere]

I've seen a trend of younger cigar smokers over the last several years (18-25). This is good, however with these young smokers come bad habits! While at the Civil Lounge, a young group, which included a first time smoker were "teaching" the virgin how to smoke.  I sat by, somewhat amused but had to rescue the poor kid when the leader told him to just take puffs until the cigar is gone....

Anyway, maybe an instructional video on proper cutting the different vitolas, cold draw, toasting the foot,  lighting, and timing when to puff, etc.

FOHrensics:

Lighting technique’s effect on flavor. (i.e. triple torch hot flame vs cedar splint/table lighter cool flame)

[Eric05]

I think seeing the actual humidor would be cool, giving us a tour. How the process works when you select the cigars for the customer to shipping, kinda a behind the scenes
