But somehow not (anymore). Sascha Prieser is a guest on today's Cigar ZEN programme. Is he a philosopher?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cigar philosopher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He likes to reflect on life and dress in the style of the 1950s. Sascha Prieser thinks before he acts. His Nordlicht cigars were originally created as a tribute to the Nordlicht Cigar Club. At the time, he conducted a survey on Facebook to find out what cigar connoisseurs liked so much. He discussed the quintessence of this with Kurt Brandt, a great connoisseur of cigar quality. You can find out what came out of this and what two experiments Sascha did with me in the programme in this Cigar ZEN programme. Other topics include:  Whether wooden cigar boxes still have a future; why you degas a cigar every now and then and whether tobacco availability from Nicaragua is assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The video with Sascha Prieser, Nordlicht Cigars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to enjoy the video is with a great cigar and a nice drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='640' height='360' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/RBWUP8Vn?cover=1&amp;posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zigarren.zone%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F11%2FNordlicht-Zigarren-3.jpg&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1674852142'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>We enjoyed the following cigars and drinks while chatting<\/strong><\/li><li>Northern Lights Cigars<\/li><li>Northern lights rum<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Route planning to Nordlicht Cigars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1135861.7379408332!2d8.568790306198345!3d53.16104260472024!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x47b12f6e8dbf841b%3A0x3542f4eda5f2b7cd!2sNordlicht%20Zigarren!5e1!3m2!1sde!2sch!4v1636550704392!5m2!1sde!2sch\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Cigars ZEN?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a format from Zigarren.Zone. 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nordlicht-Zigarren-2.jpg\" alt=\"Northern Lights Cigars\" class=\"wp-image-49270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nordlicht-Zigarren-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nordlicht-Zigarren-2-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nordlicht-Zigarren-2-624x349.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Sascha Prieser guides Vasilij through two experiments.
