VIDEO on Puff - What do you want to see?

[Stogie]

Well I wanted to ask the members here on Puff.com what kind of Cigar videos would you like to see or see more of? Over the last few years I have visited factories and also interviewed many of the manufacturers.

Cigar Live Videos - Puff

What type of videos would you guys like to see more of? What factories would you like to see the inner workings of? Would you like to see more video reviews? Ok let the ideas flow and I will see what I can do to make them happen. What do you want to see?

My favorite videos are of cigar factories and farm tours. I like seeing cigars created from the ground up.

Cool! So what factory would you like to see video of?

I'd love to see an interview with Pepin. I want to find out his thoughts about aging, does he care to age his cigars or smoke 'em right away? His opinions about humidity control. Tell us about his time working in the Cuban cigar industry. What are his favorite NC and CC? etc.

I have a ton of questions I can come up that I'm surprised very few people have asked him so far in his interviews.

I would be curios to see the acid factory. But any factory adventure would be great. I would like to see what the owners and rollers think what makes a good cigar, not just the party line.
I would also like to see the farms and the barns. Just like Mr rogers used to do on t.v. But I can do without fantasy land. LOL

Top Blender!

Put Pepin and Patel in a room together with a few choice ligeros, secas, visos, binders, and wrappers, give them 20 minutes to blend and roll something, then face a panel of judges.

Kelner vs. Carlos Fuente
Gomez vs. Dion

You get my drift.

I've taken a liking to CAO and wouldn't mind seeing their inner workings. I'd also like to see ACIDs being made. It'd be cool to see the "aroma room".

I spent some time with Pepin and wrote this article EO 601 Cigars Espinosa and Ortega are 1000 Percent Right | Cigar News | Content

I also shot some video with Pepin and the EO brand guys Eddie Ortega ad Erik Espinosa. Cigar Live Videos - Puff

The thing is that this was when they were just starting construction of the new factory. Pepin speaks only Spanish but understands English pretty well so if I did the interviews again I would need to subtitle which can be done.

Thanks for the sugestion and I will put in a few calls to see what I can do. If I can I will certainly hit you up for questions you have for him.

I love seeing the whole process from seeds all the way to quality control. The CAO video "From Seed To Soul" was great. I would like to see something like that.

I have actually been in the Drew Estate factory and it was amazing but at the time I was on a trip with another manufacturer so I did not spend much time there. Great suggestion and since the factory is amazing it would be great video to get. I will see what I can do about getting in for a shoot and some interviews. I love Nicaragua so it would be a great trip.

Going to a Rocky Patel event on Saturday, sounds like a cool idea.

I am a big fan of CAO too. Just finished a box of Criollo in the robusto size and they smoked great.

Rocky Patel and Jorge Padron are great personalities with great products. When I've met Rocky at the Las Vegas Big Smoke, he keeps telling me to come down and stay at his place in Nicaragua for a week. That would be a fantastic trip.

Cool, let me know anytime and I'll put together a list of questions. Better yet, I have a suggestion for future videos. Before video production/interview, we should do a thread on here and ask all the members to contribute questions/suggestions. You can then edit the list and put together a final questions list for the interview. That would be great. Thanks.

Padron would be nice too.
