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.

Enjoy the video, season 1 / episode 1

The best way to enjoy the video is with a great cigar and a nice drink.

We enjoyed the following cigars: Kristoff 685 Woodlawn and DESCPACITO Limited Edition 2018. The accompanying drinks were rum Penny Blue XO Single Estate Bacht #004 and the whisky Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection 1993.

A conversation between friends and you can eavesdrop

Saturday, 23.01.2021. We are in another (partial) lockdown in Switzerland. COVID-19 is still raging. The first vaccinations have started. Meeting up for a cosy smoke is rather undesirable. That's why René and I have decided to enjoy a cosy smoke virtually.

Cigars ZEN Episode 1 — Vasilij enjoyed a fantastic DESPACITO Cigars, Limited Edition 2018.

I'm sitting in my lounge in Liestal. René is enjoying the sunshine on his veranda. What a thing to do. I'd rather be there right now! He's started up the fire bowl, put on a scarf and now the cosy smoke and a nice chat begin.

I am the editor of Zigarren.Zone and co-founder and editor of origin-of-cigar.com. Since 1995, I have been deeply involved with cigars – not just as a luxury item, but as a craft, a cultural asset and a fascinating natural product. With Zigarren.Zone, I have deliberately moved away from the traditional language of flavour descriptions. I’m not interested in what a cigar reminds me of. I’m interested in what the tobacco itself has to say. That’s why I explain connections in an accessible way, observe rather than judge, and prioritise knowledge over marketing. As well as my articles, I produce documentary films and video reports about cigars, their origins and the people behind them. My aim is simple: to explain cigars in an accessible way – independently and with respect for the tobacco.
