Cigars ZEN with Daniel Beuthner, Patoro and 2 Pairings
Daniel Beuthner is a man of pleasure, an iconologist (no, that's not a doctor) and a Youtuber. His videos swim against the tide. Longer than 35 minutes and they don't fit into the „Husche-Husche-Zeit“. His channel is famous and for the small niche of cigars, he has over 28,000 subscribers. His videos reach well over tens of thousands of views. In this Cigar ZEN conversation, we enjoy a Patoro Perfecto Vintage with two pairings: a kind of mojito and a cocktail of white port / tonic water and salt on ice. And there are laughs too. For example, Daniel tries his hand at the Swiss-German dialect. You can find out how he succeeded in this programme, among other things. We hope you enjoy it.
The video
The best way to enjoy the video is with a great cigar and a nice drink.

About Daniel Beuthner: Iconologist
A picture is worth a thousand words. In a nutshell, you could say that this is iconology. What does a picture say? What effect does it have? For example, when a politician laughs in a crisis area. Only this one image that has now been created in your head is taken out of context. This picture of a laughing politician in a crisis area doesn't work at all. He's gone wrong with the image, not just the words.
What does Wikipedia about iconology? „Iconology is a field of research in art history that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s and which interprets the symbolic forms of a work of art in addition to the value-indifferent method of analysing form and iconography.“ In the programme, Daniel Beuthner talks about iconology and what can be done with it.
What is Cigars ZEN?
This is a format from Zigarren.Zone Social Network. What does ZEN mean in the context of this format? It is often said that ZEN offers nothing. Neither a teaching, nor a secret, nor answers. It means living life to the fullest. You can find an article about this at Wikipedia. So this is about celebrating the pleasure of a cigar, a drink and a conversation. Simply switching off and taking time for yourself. Simply being and slowing down without pursuing a specific goal.

which doesn't happen often for me... 45 minutes flew by and I was actually able to „stay on“. I'll give the port with tonic and especially the pinch of salt a chance. Well done.
Hi Lorenzo, that's great, thank you for your praise! I'm interested to know how you liked the cocktail.

Thanks to Daniel Beuthner, I have discovered the joy of cigars (and have now also found them here). Great video, thank you very much.
Very nice! Really very entertaining, the two gentlemen?
