00:00:02.000 So I think we're going to have to go for this one.

00:00:05.000 Can I ask how much it is per glass?

00:00:08.000 That goes for 350 pounds per glass.

00:00:13.000 I'll take three glasses of that then.

00:00:14.000 Thank you very much.

00:00:17.000 Good song everything!

00:00:19.000 Good song everything!

00:00:30.000 They come from the deep end.

00:00:36.000 Good song everything!

00:00:38.000 I'm going to stay in the car.

00:01:04.000 Sorry?

00:01:06.000 I'm going to stay in the car.

00:01:08.000 Another day in England.

00:01:32.000 I'm going to stay in the car.

00:01:38.000 Suddenly I can't drive as fast as I like.

00:01:43.000 Oh, it's 20.

00:01:45.000 I'm surfing 30 on a 20.

00:01:46.000 Oh, speed limits.

00:01:49.000 My bad. We can't be back here again.

00:01:56.000 You keep doing this every single time. 1.00

00:01:58.000 We get to London, he literally literally spends like 50 G's on fucking clothes. 1.00

00:02:03.000 Uh-huh, yeah? I spent 50 G's yesterday on tailored clothing in Seattle Royal. 0.99

00:02:06.000 I wore the same jacket in every single episode.

00:02:08.000 It's all right. And now we're here.

00:02:10.000 Wonderful trick! Yay!

00:02:11.000 Business class! We're doing diabetes before we do the marathon.

00:02:14.000 Yeah. I can hang them up nicely.

00:02:17.000 That's what it is. They're all just hung up super nicely.

00:02:20.000 Luke. I need something else.

00:02:23.000 Oh, my booze is here.

00:02:24.000 Wonderful. In the real world, Luke.

00:02:30.000 Literally, last time we were here.

00:02:32.000 Every single time.

00:02:36.000 Money isn't real. It's numbers on the screen.

00:02:39.000 Clothes are real. Clothes keep you warm in the winter.

00:02:41.000 If I was out in the ice cold, and I had six tracksuits that cost four grand each, I might survive.

00:02:46.000 If I looked at my number on the screen, and it was 100,000 more, this is Burberry Cashmere.

00:02:53.000 This is Under Armour, $7.

00:02:56.000 Tracksuit bombs from Under Armour.

00:03:00.000 $40. Yeah, so he's $47.

00:03:02.000 I'm 4,700 pounds. It's alright, tonight you're gonna see my new suits.

00:03:05.000 You guys, when you were driving your Lamborghini, I was, I spent, sorry, I picked up 44,000 pounds worth of suits, and I spent 50,000 pounds more on more suits.

00:03:16.000 Let's fire Luke. From the company.

00:03:18.000 Let's fire. Shit. Luke, you're fired. 1.00

00:03:20.000 Take confidential camera, man. 1.00

00:03:21.000 Fuck. Take confidential viewers, say bye to Luke. 1.00

00:03:24.000 He's fired. Does this happen?

00:03:27.000 Literally in the last 24 hours people have turned a thousand dollars into a hundred thousand dollars or a million dollars on some internet meme token.

00:03:36.000 There's people out here still getting 20-year mortgages and live inside the financial system.

00:03:39.000 The financial system is broken. It's all broken.

00:03:41.000 Money's not real. It's all Fagazi. 1.00

00:03:42.000 It's bullshit. It's a husk of a system which they have to prop up by printing untold sums of cash and injecting them. 1.00

00:03:51.000 They're just pouring money in this massive hole to try and prevent their broken system from entirely collapsing.

00:03:56.000 And as it limps on, as it limps forward, some people like us accidentally get super, super rich.

00:04:01.000 You know why they're doing that? The reason they're printing all this money...

00:04:04.000 Let me turn the music down. The reason they're printing all this money and they're doing it is because they know it's all gonna fall apart.

00:04:09.000 So their plan is, let's print a bunch of money while people still respect the money, and then we can buy a bunch of assets, and then when it falls apart, we have to draw all the assets.

00:04:14.000 So they're deliberately making it rain in key areas.

00:04:17.000 Imagine there's a map, and in one country it's raining money, and the other countries are all a desert.

00:04:21.000 It's dry. That's where the peons live, in the desert, because they need the peons to be broke to keep working hard for the money, because the people who have all the money don't like to work hard, right?

00:04:28.000 But what happens is, people like me, we look at the map.

00:04:31.000 And we realize where that one country is.

00:04:33.000 Because it's very hard to make the elites extremely rich and not make anybody else rich.

00:04:37.000 It sounds easy, but it's actually harder than you'd think when people like me who are perspicacious are paying attention and putting ourselves in the same positions as the elites.

00:04:44.000 I'm doing the same things they're doing.

00:04:46.000 They just don't know I'm doing it. So in their little rain country, I've turned up and put a few buckets down.

00:04:50.000 And now...

00:04:53.000 We're buying cars over the phone. Again!

00:04:54.000 Yeah. We've been in this car for one hour in the back of this chauffeured car.

00:04:58.000 He bought an Aston Martin TBS and I bought it.

00:05:00.000 It's a surprise what I bought.

00:05:01.000 It's a surprise. Surprise.

00:05:03.000 You'll see. Surprise. Surprise.

00:05:06.000 It costs $200,000 but it's a surprise.

00:05:09.000 Just can't keep doing this.

00:05:10.000 Money's not real. You can't tell me what to do because I'll fight you.

00:05:14.000 So... Hold on tight.

00:05:27.000 You're about to get whipped right here at Hossleys University.

00:05:30.000 I'm going to be able to do it.

00:06:44.000 I'm here today at the prestigious Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge to smoke a cigar that's probably worth more than everything you're wearing and all the money in your wallet.

00:06:55.000 The reason I'm doing this is because I found out there are only two of these cigars left known in the world.

00:07:01.000 They were rolled in 1989.

00:07:03.000 That makes them one year younger than I am.

00:07:07.000 And it's the place that has them.

00:07:10.000 Let's go. Hello, my friend.

00:07:11.000 How are you? Very good. How are you today?

00:07:13.000 It's always good to see you. It's always good to see you.

00:07:15.000 So, I heard a rumor that you have two very special cigars in this cigar lounge.

00:07:22.000 Is that true? The rumor is actually true.

00:07:25.000 We do have a couple of very, very special Cuban marido.

00:07:29.000 As you may know, the Davidoff factory moved out of Cuba in 1991.

00:07:35.000 1991 to Geneva, by the way.

00:07:36.000 Exactly. Therefore, this one has been enrolled in 1986.

00:07:41.000 1986? Wow.

00:07:43.000 It's called anniversary number one.

00:07:45.000 Made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the factory in Cuba.

00:07:50.000 Of course, you can tell.

00:07:52.000 And very, very nice again.

00:07:56.000 I haven't smoked one of those unfortunately, but I can tell that I met people who ate and they told me that they are very Great.

00:08:06.000 A meaningful cigar.

00:08:08.000 And it brings you back to the 60s and 70s.

00:08:11.000 I've never been to the streets of Cuba, but you know what?

00:08:15.000 I'm going there today because I would please like one of your fine Davidoff Cuban cigars.

00:08:19.000 That's beautiful. That would make this cigar two years older than me.

00:08:23.000 So how do they keep it in such good condition?

00:08:25.000 I assume it hasn't always fitted the Bulgari.

00:08:28.000 What's the journey of this company?

00:08:29.000 This, you know? I do, actually.

00:08:33.000 Back in the days, this was already a special cigar, when they made it, because it was made for an anniversary, therefore it was already something that they produced for a little amount.

00:08:47.000 And our boss, Mr.

00:08:50.000 Saakia, likes to keep very, very special stuff.

00:08:53.000 Therefore... Maybe back in the days they've been lucky or they had a good call, but they knew that something was going on with Davidox.

00:09:04.000 Therefore, they decided to keep these specialty cigars for a while.

00:09:08.000 They have a very, very unique aging humidor, which is like, it keeps the perfect condition no matter what.

00:09:17.000 Because if you mess up with a cigar for a couple of weeks, that's it.

00:09:19.000 All the years of keeping it is over.

00:09:21.000 Even three days.

00:09:24.000 This has been kept for 35 years now.

00:09:29.000 And it's actually, if you touch it, it's very, very good.

00:09:36.000 It's brand new. I'll take this, give me two H-Uplans, maybe H-Uplans Connoisseur B or something like that.

00:09:44.000 You have a Connoisseur B? Yeah, give me two H-Uplans Connoisseur A's for my colleagues, and yeah, I look forward to it.

00:09:50.000 I'll sell you over there. Thank you very much.

00:09:52.000 Straight cut? Straight cut, my friend.

00:09:53.000 Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

00:09:55.000 I'll bring it over. Now, my friend, before we get started, do you have any alcohol worthy of drinking with a cigar like this?

00:10:03.000 I actually do.

00:10:04.000 You do? I knew you would.

00:10:06.000 I knew you would. What have you got?

00:10:08.000 Before we light these, I don't want to leave them burning while I'm waiting for my drinks.

00:10:10.000 I think we should order some drinks first that are worth it.

00:10:13.000 Can you show me the case?

00:10:14.000 Of course, please. I have right the cabinet for you.

00:10:19.000 Wonderful. Um...

00:10:24.000 We have a very nice cabinet from our friends.

00:10:27.000 And this is with some very nice cognac in it.

00:10:31.000 Well, you may know EXO, of course.

00:10:34.000 This one is the Paradis, which is at least 30 years old.

00:10:40.000 It's made with the finest of the bees.

00:10:44.000 And up there you have Hennessy Paradis Imperial, which is as well a 30 years old minimum age, but made with the finest of the finest.

00:10:54.000 So, believe it or not, I have a cigar lounge at my house, and the finest cognac I have is this Hennessy Paradis here.

00:11:01.000 So I think we're going to have to go for this one.

00:11:03.000 Can I ask how much it is per glass?

00:11:06.000 That goes for 350 pounds.

00:11:09.000 350 pounds per glass?

00:11:10.000 Yes. I'll take three glasses of that.

00:11:12.000 Thank you very much.

00:11:33.000 So before we light this on fire, could you just remind me one more time how much this phone costs?

00:11:37.000 That would be 1,300 pounds.

00:11:40.000 1,300 British pounds, close to 2,000 American dollars.

00:11:43.000 I intend to enjoy every second of it.

00:11:46.000 Come on, Andrew, you've got to cheer me with this.

00:11:54.000 you you By the way, it's four o'clock in the afternoon.

00:12:01.000 Perfect time to stop drinking. Perfect time to stop drinking.

00:12:06.000 Okay, that is very good smoke.

00:12:09.000 That even Andrew who hates cognac has to admit.

00:12:11.000 35 years ago, somebody rolled that and put it in a box.

00:12:29.000 In Cuba. The company changed locations from 1991 to Geneva.

00:12:35.000 No Davidoffs have been rolled in Cuba since then.

00:12:37.000 That cigar has made its way across the world.

00:12:40.000 And now me, who wasn't even born when it was made, I'm going to be smoking it here in London.

00:12:46.000 It's really quite cool.

00:12:48.000 How old's the birds?

00:13:00.000 Thirteen plus years old.

00:13:03.000 This boots is older than you.

00:13:05.000 Nice. You did not exist when some man was putting this into a cast.

00:13:08.000 No. Thank you very, very much.

00:13:20.000 and welcome back to the 60s in Cuba it's it's it's different It's different. You know,

00:13:49.000 if I switched exclusively to these, If they existed and smoked five of them a day like I do with other cigars, I'd definitely go work hard.

00:13:56.000 But they are good.

00:13:58.000 It's good for a one-off. If you were to tell me nine years ago I'd spend 1,300 pounds on something to smoke, I did not smoke, nor did I have 1,300 pounds.

00:14:14.000 Here you go. I've heard it.

00:14:16.000 Am I gonna upset all the connoisseurs by saying it's basically the same?

00:14:32.000 you Well, they're free to come and fight you.

00:14:36.000 They'll lose. They will lose.

00:14:38.000 I'm gonna tell you something about this cigar.

00:14:40.000 It's like taking the virginity of a really beautiful woman.

00:14:44.000 I get to have this experience and no one else gets to have it again.

00:14:48.000 It is a little bit better, but the real pleasure is in the fact that somebody else would love to have this, and I get it.

00:14:57.000 That's why this is good. That makes sense.

00:14:59.000 I'll give you that. I agree with that.

00:15:02.000 Thank you very much. There's only two of these.

00:15:04.000 And in the city of London, do you know of any cigars this old?

00:15:08.000 Apart from like museums and stuff?

00:15:12.000 My guess...

00:15:13.000 Even older cigar, but not Gerard Davidoff.

00:15:18.000 Therefore not that they are not physically existing anymore.

00:15:23.000 So there might be some older Cubans, but it's still limited editions from a specific moment in time that they Might be replicated in the future.

00:15:36.000 Yes, yes, yes. This will never be ever made again.

00:15:39.000 No. As far as I know, that one is probably one of the rarest cigars in the...

00:15:45.000 I don't want to say in the world, but...

00:15:48.000 Closer. Yeah, closer.

00:15:50.000 For sure in the UK. Thank you very much.

00:15:53.000 I appreciate it very much.

00:15:54.000 Enjoy. I will.

00:16:00.000 You know, there are lots of people, fine people who run like cigar review channels, cigar review Twitter pages, cigar Instagram pages.

00:16:08.000 They will never, ever, ever smoke one of these.

00:16:12.000 Isn't that nuts? That's like their whole identity.

00:16:14.000 That's all they do. And they never get to smoke one.

00:16:22.000 Did you ever hear about the time I defeated 25 ninjas and I'm on combat?

00:16:26.000 No, tell me. I was walking to a field by myself.

00:16:30.000 25 ninjas here.

00:16:31.000 It's samurai. That is how I imagined the story would start.

00:16:34.000 But why would a ninja have a samurai?

00:16:36.000 Because they worked with the samurai.

00:16:38.000 Oh, Chinese-Japanese collaboration.

00:16:40.000 Correct. To try and destroy them. 0.94

00:16:42.000 Should know. They do that. 0.95

00:16:43.000 I tried to defeat them all by Aikido.

00:16:45.000 By the end of it, I had one small cut.

00:16:48.000 And that drop of blood that fell on the grass was drunk by a spider.

00:16:54.000 Okay, that's why Oh, you told me this before I know what happened to him I'm going to go get a drink.

00:17:05.000 Should we tell the take off the engineers?

00:17:07.000 No. No.

00:17:09.000 They don't deserve to know.

00:17:13.000 Luke, why does this cigar cost more than all of your clothes?

00:17:17.000 You have money, why aren't you...

00:17:19.000 Okay. I like my clothes.

00:17:20.000 And actually, I'm not sure it does.

00:17:22.000 Your jumper costs a thousand pounds.

00:17:24.000 I'm actually not sure it does, Tristan.

00:17:26.000 No, I'm slightly, yeah. Shit. No, okay, sorry. 1.00

00:17:28.000 But who bought you the shoes?

00:17:30.000 Okay. Who bought the cigar?

00:17:36.000 We buy them everything. I bought them the jumper.

00:17:37.000 I bought them the jeans. Didn't you buy them that long?

00:17:40.000 I think I bought them. Correct.

00:17:45.000 I exist and things are free.

00:17:51.000 It's weird. Things aren't free.

00:17:54.000 Things aren't free. It's super weird.

00:17:57.000 It's like I have a superpower.

00:17:58.000 But they're not free. The superpower is you have money, and you're too lazy to buy your own stuff to try and look nice.

00:18:04.000 So we make you do things.

00:18:06.000 And then you never have money because it's tied up with some DeFi project at the time.

00:18:11.000 So you make us pay the bill.

00:18:12.000 I feel like this booze is free.

00:18:15.000 Let's start invoicing with Luke. Okay, add $350 to Luke's bill.

00:18:18.000 Booze is free, mate. Good cigar as well.

00:18:21.000 Nice sparkling water.

00:18:23.000 End of an era.

00:18:26.000 A 35 year journey has come to an end today.

00:18:30.000 I wanted to smoke.

00:18:33.000 I literally took 1,300 pounds and lit it on fire.

00:18:39.000 Was it enjoyable? It's like this.

00:18:42.000 If I had 1,301 pounds in my bank, and I bought this, I'd be so sad now it's over.

00:18:48.000 But, I could do this three of them.

00:18:50.000 I could do this five times a day.

00:18:53.000 Boo and the five thousand ant ears are billion ants. 0.98

00:18:57.000 I'm talking about the ant.

00:18:58.000 Billion ants. This iconic cigar with our ant ears, and you're interrupting me about ant ears.

00:19:04.000 Billions of ants.

00:19:05.000 I guess it depends if they come in a thin wave or more troops, or if they come in a more troopled out thing.

00:19:10.000 I imagine that swarm in the public of the antics is the end of one of the world's rarest and oldest cigar.

00:19:17.000 It also depends on the type of antics.

00:19:19.000 Who would win in a fight?

00:19:21.000 Millionaires. The ants.

00:19:28.000 No way anyone comments.

00:19:34.000 Anteaters. They can't win.

00:19:36.000 Or lose. We can't just keep going around, getting cars.

00:19:52.000 What about this one?

00:19:55.000 One of these? Yeah, one of these.

00:19:56.000 We just put on a helmet at all times.

00:20:00.000 Nah, almost got my style.

00:20:02.000 What's two plus two? Four.

00:20:05.000 Two plus two is four.
