Beginner Basics with Tom and Ed

Posted on June 6th, 2008 by Walt

While I’m slacking off and working on other aspects of the site. Tom and Ed were kind enough to fill in for me with an excellent video to help the new cigar smoker along. Along with the information for beginners, Tom and Ed smoke and review a new Canimao blend.

    Ed & Tom

    Your review was most “excellent” and I believe informative to all new cigar smokers. I enjoyed it immensely and look forward to your next review. Oh and thanks for the bonus photo of Brian.

    Hey Brian now you have to one up Mc’Lovin! (LOL)

    Thanks Mike and Joel.

    The video ran a little long, but Ed felt a video starting with the very basics of smoking was needed (as did I).

    I intended on not mentioning the Brian pics, but Ed changed his mind during filming. Now we’ve sparked a war with Stogie Review (If you fight one, you fight them all). They won’t attack Ed for obvious reasons, so take it easy on me Brian (Ballface!).

    Great jobs guys! i just wish the guy in the middle would have spoken a little more! lol. Very interesting about tasting steak in some cigars. Sounds delicious. Might be more along Drew Estates line. What do you think, an A1 infused cigar? mmmmmm.

    Luke/Alex -Thanks for watching. There’s always something to learn hangin with Ed.

    Jon - I think you may be having a Windows media player issue (the vid isn’t in flash). Not to shamelessly plug my blog, but click my name and you can view a flash version there.

    Jon,
    I’m not sure what the issue is, it looks great on my end.

    Wonderful review guys! This should be very helpful to a lot of beginners. Tom and Ed seem so genuinely nice, if you guys weren’t so far away I would stop in and have a smoke with you both. I thought it was cute that you guys speared the cigars at the end. When I first say it done by Walt I thought it was a bit much. Then I tasted great cigars and found myself doing the same thing! Thanks to these videos, everyone can always learn something new.
