The Room

Where the conversation burns slow.

The Cedar Room is a weekly cigar podcast filmed at Privé by The World of Yachts in Beirut. Some weeks we host a guest; some weeks it's just us, a cigar, and whatever's worth talking about.

No rush, no scripts. Just the kind of conversation that only happens once the first third is ash.

“Good cigars, like good conversations, can't be hurried.”
