WHY SHOULD I CARE: I feel like the vibes in this column thus far have been decidedly un-chill. It's been all roller coasters, competitive eating, doom metal, car accidents, spicy food, vegan bodybuilders, murders, video games, shit like that. I feel like this column needs a bit of a sit down, a bit of a break. Not an actual break – I'm still going to do it – just more of a can of Coke and a fag kind of break. Or maybe… a can of coke and a cigar?Bryan Glynn is a man from Florida who has been making videos for about seven years. He is the proprietor of a website called Cigar Obsession, which is also the name of the 50,000+ subscriber channel he runs. Bryan is a very chill guy.I would never move to America, but the one thing that tempts me about it is having a giant house with a giant garden in the middle of nowhere that I can just sit in, in silence. Listen to crickets, look at the stars, drink myself into an early grave, that sort of thing. This is the sort of live I envisage Bryan leading, with his tiki-style flame torches in the background of his videos, as he softly describes why a certain cigar is so expensive.When I was a child I stayed at a hotel in Europe where there were two dickheads smoking cigars near an open fire. It made me think cigars were lame. It was only when I grew up and started routinely giving myself cancer that I realised cigars are kinda cool. They smell nice, nicer than cigarettes. Cigarettes can make most people look cool, whereas cigars require an inherent panache. But in Bryan Glynn's case, the cigars just complement his already extremely friendly face and manner.
