I talked about it in my review this week but I’d like to present my Top 5 Morning Cigars. Not your traditional Top List as I introduce them from oldest to newest review and not in order of which is the best. I originally wanted to do a 3-5 minute video of each cigar while I smoked it in the morning but why re-invent the wheel?
Video runs 21:46 and I offer my commentary on each of my Top 5 Morning Cigars as well as include some highlights from the reviews I’ve done for each cigar. At the end, I throw down a challenge to all of you that won’t take up too much of your time, lets say, just 12seconds.
I hope this goes over well. It was a blast to do, going back and watching old footage. It was a bit time consuming, I’d say 8 hours and some change between planning, importing, encoding, splicing, editing, conversions and production but I really hope you guys enjoy it and that inspiration will strike me again one day for me to do another one of these types of videos.

Jerry,
What a fantastic video man! It was like a “Best of…” series, with bloopers too!
This was a kick-ass video! You should do more “special” videos like this.
Great quality with humor and plenty o’ info.
You know Jerry I have been watching you for years and it is great to see how far you have come in video editing, content, and style. Looking forward to the years to come!
That was great! You mentioned a couple of my favorites … Really love the time travel sound effects. lol
Great video Jerry! I miss the days where you’d sit there and blast the music you were listening to and enjoy the cigar without saying anything for a bit before getting back to the review. I agree you should start doing that again, it makes the cigar more enjoyable. As always, the humor and personality of your reviews are great! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
MORE! MORE! MORE!
I expect to see you complete this series Jerry, with atleast a Midday and Evening edition.
Yikes! A stogie Review clip show!!
:laughing7:
Nice review Jerry. The production quality has gotten better and better, but the same great personality has remained a constant. Keep up the good work.
Alright dude, I almost busted a gut when you did the Wayne’s World thing, that was classic.
Man, I was having a real S#$TTY day and that put a smile on my face.
Wow! Just when I give you a little crap you step up in a huge way! I have to say this is hands down the absolute best video you’ve ever done! This type of video is awesome for anyone new to the site who haven’t gone back and watched some of your older reviews. I think you’ve set the par for any future lists on SR…they have to be in this format.
Much respect for the time it took you to put this together and it turned out great. Its a hit!
Wayne’s World! Party Time! Excellent!
Awesome stuff! Can’t argue with your list at all. All are great smokes. Fine, fine choices.
Thanks Jerry! You really have a way that entertains us…after all you’ve been thru its really great to see you smile brother.
Jerry,
Very entertaining video, makes me almost want to go back and revisit some of my older videos…. lol
Also,
If Jerry runs out of Invites for http://www.12seconds.tv shoot me an email as I have a few left as well.

Jerry-
GREAT video! You can’t beat the Wayne’s World and Good Morning Vietnam references either 🙂
Great stuff!
Jerry-
WOW!! That was an amazing video. Contrary to popular opinion, I miss you sporting the white tee shirt and ashing on yourself when your in your boxers LOL!!! Great times and great memories along with incredible cigars. I smoked the Nording just based upon your review of it and I agree with you, it’s one amazing cigar. But of course, I liked all the ones on your Top 5 list with the exception being I’ve not yet succummbed to being a NUB 😛 Friggin humidor’s are full to the bursting and the wife is texting me threats for spending a burst amount lately on Cbid – oh oh 🙂

Jerry,
Nice video, I like the idea of the top five category. I suggest that you do a weekly top five write up or video. Other Categories for Top 5: Cameroon Wrapper, Connecticut Wrapper, Maduro Wrapper and other wrappers, Robusto and other sizes, top five cigars with coffee, top five etc….. I hope this is something you guys continue.
Bravo Jerry! I really enjoyed this video. Your endearing personality really shines through. I’m glad you don’t take the “stuffy” Cigar Aficionado approach to video making but instead give us something lite and fun. Keep up the good work.
Great video Jerry. I wasn’t around for the white t-shirt days and the first thought I had when watching you sit back and enjoy a few pulls while spinning some tunes was that it looked like you were enjoying a blunt! LOL!!
As for the Nordings in the care package you sent me while I was in Kuwait, the first one was very good but was smoked in less than optimal conditions. The second is settling and will get it’s time to shine when my wife and I are having some time to ourselves over Labor Day weekend. I’ll be sure to let you know how it is!
Thanks again for a great video.

Jerry, that was awesome! Did you have fun working with the windows media files on your Mac?
We need more “where the f$%ks the stop button” moments. I had not laughed that hard in a long time.
Certainly great to see the classic white t-shirt and music.
Lovin the wayne’s world flashback deal man! Great video!
Jerry I know you like cameroons as well. One of my top morning smokes aside from the ones you mentioned is the La Flor Dominicana 2000 series. Give it a try.
