Today, we are bringing you a guest video review. It is shot by Derek who does a great job of reviewing cigars on his YouTube channel RedditCigarReviews. He is part of a very nice Reddit community called r/cigars. Enjoy the review!

Savinelli is more known for its pipes which the firm has been making since 1876. In 1994, Savinelli started releasing cigars in collaboration with big names like Oliva, Fuente or Placencia. The Special Selection 2006 is manufactured in the Oliva factory in Nicaragua. Covered by an Ecuadorian leaf, the cigar uses '2006 Nicaraguan tobacco as a filler. Video runs a bit over 9 minutes.

Great review Derek. It’s good to see another young face face out there who knows what they are doing. It’s hard for us young guys to be taken seriously when it come to cigars. I still get looks like I’m a three headed monster when I walk into some shops. Keep up the good work.

Mike, it’s a very interesting point and an important one. I was barely 21 when I started smoking cigars and I definitely know what you mean.

Yeah, I used to get weird looks too. But now I have the same 3 places I go to and that doesn’t happen anymore. It really felt weird when all the older guys were staring at me. I’m turning 21 on Friday, started smoking stogies 3 years ago on and off. But now it’s a great hobby.

And I wanna give a HUGE shout out to ZackTheStogieMan. He’s a big inspiration to me and I try to learn from him. You guys should check out some of his reviews on here.

I’ll check him out. Thanks. I’m in my early 20s as well and when I start talking about cigars in shops especially in detail I aleays get looks of amazement. Not to mention I get carded every time even though it’s the same two shops.

Lmao. Right? Carded every time too. I love having conversations with them about good stogies. There’s a place I go to where we all stand out front and talk forever. I love it.

I don’t care for video reviews, so I skipped this one. Hopefully you’ll stick to the printed reviews and won’t be posting many more videos.

Well, sorry you feel that way. But I only do video reviews.

@ROTHNH
Thanks for your feedback. No worries, written reviews aren’t going anywhere :)

Thanks for the review, Derek. No need to be nervous about it, we’re all just regular guys smoking cigars. Keep it up.
