Popular Post CigarCulture09 Posted March 16 Popular Post Share Posted March 16 Just finished watching this. An absolute masterpiece. This is what a walk in humidor should look like. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford2112 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 That humidor boasts the quality, craftsmanship and tradition that we have all come to admire from the legendary, Kirby Allison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Vert Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I can’t wait for the purse swinging to begin like in the last post about Kirby. Waiting to watch till when I can sit and smoke along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardGizmo Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Vigilant does great work. The vault 2000 I have from them is a beautiful piece of furniture - even my wife is impressed by it. In this case, I believe Vigilant designed it and a local Dallas builder actually constructed it for KA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoSauce Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 This video actually made me kind of like the guy. I was waiting for the cigar stocking part and fully expecting every single box to be Cohiba -- a collection fitting of a true bellend. Lo and behold, only one box of Cohiba and a nice selection of other, regular stock! My estimation of this fellow has gone up by quite a few notches. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford2112 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Yeah he had some boxes didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post loose_axle Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 Thought it was a great humidor and selection. Definitely a house to burgle in the future. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99call Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 A love posh peoples connection with DIY, or renovations. "I built a walk in humidor" "I built a filtration system". I have mates like this. - How you doing dude? - I'm f****g knackerd, I've just re-slated, and lined the roof!! - Wow!.....thats nuts, thats a pretty epic, I didn't know you had those skills in the locker? - Well.....I mean........we got a contractor - Oh right.....so you helped? - Well......not physically...... - So.....you....... paid them? - .................er...............yes - You're right that does sound tiring The level of self-congratulation that some people give themselves is quite jaw dropping. As balance...good on him for 'buying' his dream humidor. We all have our dreams, but good on those that bring them into reality. Personally, I would have gone nowhere near that spray insulation. It's still a relatively new product, and not something I would want ageing anywhere near my cigars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Good video. Nice walk-in. I do find him a bit cartoonish, but he does quality content if you can get over the persona he's adopted. The Uncle Roger of cigars? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Smokin' Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Doesn't matter, he'll move onto his next fad to milk his audience well before any spray insulation fumes will negatively affect his stock. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicalBikeRide Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Really cool. Feel like it could use some more considered lighting - about the only thing I could nit pick at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Have to agree with the majority of what he said and thinks of cigars & collecting. Pretty funny actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasy Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I’ll say this - there is a huge personal risk to becoming an ‘influencer’ in today’s social media world. You sort of look like a massive tool up until the point that you break through. Similar to struggling actors, no one envies them until they’re making $20m a year and living the good life - it’s actually pulling it off that makes it enviable. I’ll give Kirby credit that his risk seems to be paying off. I think what’s tough for the average cigar smoker, is the pomp and in-love-with-himself vibe that he puts out. If I were to just listen to a recording of KA I’d probably like him more than I do when I see the whole charade. But like I said, if he pulls it off, kudos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give Kirby credit that his risk seems to be paying off I think there's a certain person like myself, maybe too old fashioned. I don't envy anyone who's business is being a craven grifter, a successful or non successful one. If I woke up everyday with the pressure of creating desperate attention seeking content. I think I'd last a couple of weeks before wanting to top myself. But that's just me, for some money soothes all pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibearsv Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It’s amazing to me that there’s enough interest in what he does that he could(?) make a living at it. Maybe he truly has a passion for creating the type of content that he does. And if the interested audience is big enough to profit from that, kudos. Not really any different than other media entertainment. If he’s truly the way he portrays himself, I can’t fault him. But he wouldn’t get an invite to V-casa 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford2112 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I love the entertainment value I get reading what everyone here says about the guy. He has a family so kudos to him for being able to support them. He's still a dilettante and a bellend 😅 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Li Bai Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 3 hours ago, chasy said: Similar to struggling actors, no one envies them until they’re making $20m a year and living the good life Well imho it's dangerous to measure someone's success on his earnings. And about "The good life"... I don't know what it means but I can tell you one thing for sure, I have very wealthy patients and some are the most miserable people I have ever met. I'm not saying money doesn't matter and we should all live under bridges, I'm saying it's no way to measure genuine success. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha_banos Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 No sooner than finishing his humidor he's in the DR. Wonder if he knows there are no Cubans there, or mostly hookey Cubans, for his humidor! Those shoes though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeguerosMAN Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Kirby has always been a Bolivar man. His walk in humidor looks bigger than that of Davidoff of London!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eltoroosborne Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That’s an epic setup! Needs a pool table and it’d be my ideal office. I don’t think I’d ever get my friends to leave. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
