Foulkes & Sons S5 E5

A slightly surreal somewhat subdued and mournful #Easter broadcast from the #ancestralhovel pondering the importance of the #cohiba #lanceros to traditional #iberian leisure culture. We find @mafrocc in a slightly chastened mood, nevertheless he is able to make some surprising claims on behalf of the amphibious capabilities of Cuban catfish. In other natural history notes, we ponder whether there are #squirrels 🐿 to be found in #cuba before returning to our central theme of the Celebration of the pascal period in #spain

Senior Foulkes laugh is contagious!

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

He is the best

[@jayumble8390]

Yes, it is so genuine!!

[@tonyfondacaro1980]

As a father of two boys I adore the enjoyment Senior Foulkes gets from being with Max and the banter between them. I think that’s what I enjoy most about these videos, the unspoken deep affection of father and son.

[@thisdayinWW2history]

I can see why this ‘emergency’ episode was called. Foulkes senior was in quite good spirits

[@tomaszhoekstra7357]

wow, probably one of the best episodes with more laughter that ever before one might say

[@HabanosChris]

agreed

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

You are the best! Thank you very much

[@mattstolzman]

I wish I had such a wonderful relationship with my father like you do Max. Supreme

[@kurjan1]

This will go down as one of the great Foulkes & Sons episodes... Happy Easter everyone.

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

Thank you 🙏

[@alalmaoui5212]

Best of father and son setting!

[@kirbyallison]

Love these! The lancero is one of my favorite formats. And I couldn’t have agreed with Max’s hierarchy any more - the La Renia is queen of the lanceros, followed by the Cohiba and Trinidad, which are perhaps tied. I’m partial to the Trinidad, but only because I was able to find a box hidden away at a cigar shop in Mexico City. I’m sending my mother in law back to see if she might sort out another box or two…

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

Thank you Kirby! I see we are very much in agreement 🙏

[@john0691]

Great conversation and great cigar with two people who love each other and the brotherhood of smoking a cigar together.

[@maxbryson9419]

Thank you for adorning her majesty’s internet with another broadcast. Praise the lord.

[@darrenclack1639]

I love the randomness of the conversation its brilliant.thanks for the video on unpopular cigars as the San cristobal la punta was delightful !

[@greggani4716]

Love the attire of Mr. Folkes. Very dapper! Y'all are both jewels of Great Britain. Wish America still had that class and fun conversation. Happy Easter gentleman.

[@RastaMonn]

I am from Michigan, USA 🇺🇸 and I must say that it is quite my personal enjoyment watching this episode. The laughter is so medicinal. Keep laughing gents. Thankyou cheers

[@jamesdenvir6276]

Had a hard day at work myself, yous fine gentlemen cheered me right up many thankyous!!

[@MichaelWatts]

Ah, finally, my favourite cigar - the beautiful Lancero! Thank you as ever gentlemen

[@NoVaVengeance]

easily one of my favorite episodes!

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@user-dq1kr6zc2t]

"Right, let's see how this goes now. Yes! Oh..terrible! This is terrible! Oh no that's awful Max!" - LOL! That guillotine is even butchering the cigars. Time for honorary retirement of the guillotine. Happy Easter gentlemen.

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

The guillotine must take a well deserved break fro service

[@Tstorm-il5ih]

Greetings from across the pond. Please send me one of those cigars.thank you in advance. You two are great.

[@viewer3147]

Easter cigars...the guillotine and Raymond Well all in one episode...magic

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

It doesn’t get much better than this!

[@AnaInTh3Sky]

This is pure gold...!!! I hadn't laughed like this in a while!

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@jamesleem.d.7442]

Very enjoyable to watch this morning

[@chunkychinn]

Oh what lovely joviality was exhibited here, well done gents. Although a distinct aroma of tiredness being exhibited, you must rest we can't have you tired you must take care of your health. Anyways have a good holiday and again thankyou Lady Antonia for the flower arrangement.

[@michaelpsions]

Brilliant.

[@sparkyytlux]

Another refreshing episode with a colour fitted flower decoration to Mr Foulkes green and yellow outfit

[@felixs3477]

Gentlemen, this was an honour and a privilege! I have watched every single episode. I enjoy your banter and because of Foulkes and Sons, I have started to smoke regularly, which I must admit, I should have started much earlier! Seeing father and son engaged in conversation reminds me of times well spent with my own father and grandfather. Both having the good fortune, in younger years, to have smoked, seemingly endlessly, the tobacco from Rhodesia, which was exported to South West Africa (Namibia), where they were living in the 50s and 60s. Wishing you a happy Easter from Montreal, Canada. Felix

[@jayumble8390]

What a state of mind you gentlemen are in this fine evening! Oh my goodness, at 5:02 you are still trying mightily to find you footing!! Love it!! Ah yes, you gentlemen have found your stride now at 6:40!!

[@colinaitken5090]

I watch these episodes from Edinburgh where the local attire is football shorts and a North Face jacket.wonderfully to see some nice apparel,keep it up gents.

[@HabanosChris]

Best show opening yet !

[@padrongnome6180]

Both of us viewers thoroughly enjoyed it! We had to play it back a second time to account for the fact we watched on one screen the first time, good form Gents!

[@paulsalmon4406]

I thought Mr Foulkes senior was inebriated initially! As things progressed he mellowed back into the persona that what we are more used to. Yet again a pure gem, keep it going Nick and Max. Happy Easter.

[@reynoldschism9088]

Soooooo Relaxing ! ! !

[@mad0uche]

You guys are incredible

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

You are very kind

[@retrac3180]

Already dying laughing at just 1:30 seconds! Love it!

[@CembaloMeister]

I've just discovered your videos and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them! Thank you so much for the time and energy it takes to create your content. Greetings from NYC!

[@LEBMCM]

Hilarious! One of the best. Chortling out loud with my Trinidad Reyes. Thoroughly good company

[@bigglesbrewery5140]

Excellent video chaps. Manage to sneak into the shop on Wednesday morning. Managed to pick up a nice little selection. Max was incredibly helpful!

[@GonzoJamie]

Love, love - love this! Gentlemen - happy Easter

[@kenpj5930]

Amazing cigar. Very entertaining and always excited for new episodes! Greetings from Chile.

[@conradjones635]

Whoever put this in my YT feed. I thank you.

[@tdhale4232]

I was so hoping you guys would show up so I could enjoy my Davidoff Churchill Late night! My weekend is complete.

[@tdhale4232]

Smoking it now while watching two of my favorites.

[@tdhale4232]

You both touched my heart talking about Christ. Sometimes we need to be reminded of family, friends and our many blessings around Easter.

[@4dog1977]

THIS WAS A BIGGER SURPRISE THAN THE EASTER BUNNY, ENJOYED IT, GENTS. ENJOY THE HOLIDAY EVERYONE AND BE CAREFUL OF THE BROWN-COLORED EGGS. #2 VIEWER

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

Thank you dear sir 🙏

[@bellys5037]

Great content again keep them coming 👌

[@Nefville]

That was fun. Hunter S. Thompson is a local hero of ours here in Louisville. I lived next to where he grew up in the St. Matthews neighborhood for many years. It was fear and loathing in Hunter S. Thompson territory where its hard to stay sober and not get involved in a political campaign or motorcycle gang.

[@josegolfpiper8342]

Excellent Video!! Great Conversation and very interesting facts! You two look Great!! Excellent Surrounding! Thanks for sharing.....Jose from Texas

[@blanejr1]

HELLLLOOOOOOOOOO! I was smiling and laughing from the start and that guillotine has not been nice at any point in your videos!!!

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

It keeps us on our toes

[@seniorservice98]

Excellent show. Good to see a young man still capable of being genuinely chastened. Might want to be on the hunt for a new creme-coloured handbag, young Max.

[@josephweeks820]

Foulkes, Sr. started off in a very delightful and funny way, perhaps to compensate for Max after a day at the shop. As one who has worn a uniform all his working life, 47 years, I always enjoy your styles, this video especially Foulkes, Sr.'s cuffed jacket. As to the Cuban cigar. maybe next time tell us the date of manufacture. Thank you for your time, Rule Britannia!

[@theexperiencetv5340]

You guys released an episode right under my nose. I binge watched you Gentlemen all day yesterday. Anyways keep up the good work and I cant wait for the next one. Cheers!🥃💨💨💨💨

[@mrjace3]

Yes they are the absolute best!

[@tdaveniii]

I bought a box of these a few years ago. At least 1/4th of them have had poor draws. Given the price (outrageous), the per cigar price has become brutal. I still have a few left so will make point to try another one Easter Sunday.

[@VaiFazer]

Was visiting London yesterday but never managed to get into Davidoff! Gutted I missed you both! Maybe next time. Great episodes as always 😂

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

I’ll be there upon your return 🙏

[@martinsahlman9784]

Fantastic episode! Thank’s guys!

[@frjosephop]

Cigars and the faith go rather nicely. A cigar whilst pondering on the doctrine of the Trinity proved rather conducive to writing a sermon for Trinity Sunday this weekend!

[@HaroenCalehr]

Awesome audio thanks for the improvement. Senior looks amazing barely any wrinkles. Must be his heartfelt contagious laughter and good cigars. Never had the Lancero but have had plenty of Esplendidos. The best of the best. Fine show as always gents! Happy Easter.

[@mikefry5704]

Great vlog. Enjoy

[@hookbrother]

I’m glad you do these. I really enjoy you both and appreciate the time you spend on these. Cheers.

[@williampellegrino8661]

Another great video by Foulkes & Sons! Wish there were weekly videos!! Happy Easter guys

[@Mikecorsale]

How I’d love to sit and chat with you wonderful chaps! Although I may try and persuade you to sample a full power Nicaraguan stick as opposed to those Cubans 😉

[@leandrolimeres]

Nick with a very Brazilian outfit!!! Cheers guys! From Brazil

[@paddymallory4080]

Gentlemen, I’ve only recently discovered your channel and although not a smoker I enjoy your reflections with a glass of malt. Excellent vlogs but every time I enjoy one I get this urge to read P.G Wodehouse! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to entertain us.

[@TyranyFighterPatriot]

Happy Easter my brother of the leaf!

[@zafxyn7096]

Hunter S.Thompson,was running for sheriff in Aspen Colorado.The year was,1970...HST,liked cubans,but loved Dunhill cigarettes🥴...You are true legends,just like Dr Gonjo was!

[@PapiVanWinkle]

this broadcast is amazing ha!

[@deancurry2772]

Wonderful lads. Happy Easter

[@danamartinmayo9529]

Love your videos. Your Guillotine blade probably needs sharpening. Happy Easter

[@jayumble8390]

How about a broadcast from the tomb of Tutankhamun ??? Ahhhh, now that would be a broadcast my good friends!

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

🤣

[@steve2688]

Keep up with the great content and I hope your page grows!

[@boyce5994]

@3:23 lol "....they werent very kind to him, I have to say.."

[@paulsingh9043]

These fellows are sheer class, viewer often wets himself watching 😂

[@tom5083]

Happy Easter to you chaps.

[@guntergastner8287]

I wanna see the Yugoslav suit !!

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

A fine garment that will make a return 🙏

[@csreber]

Max with that Lancero you seem like Don Diego della Vega in Zorro movie 💖🙋‍♂️

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

I try my best!

[@captainash1297]

Sad I missed it on upload day but always a pleasure to see you gentlemen in my sub box! Sitting on my back deck smoking a delicious Davidoff. Great way to wind down a Sunday!

[@desertoctane6444]

Never be NON EFFUSIVE AND NON EBULLIENT! WE ALL LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@papworktv5]

You lot need to upload more often haha

[@jefas7934]

Your one contact in the states says..... Max don't be so down about your motorbike come to the States and get a Harley Davidson. Great show as always gentleman thankx for the laughs

[@edcevo3052]

I guess I just have to live vicariously through y’all seeing as how I’m in Tennessee of the US of non cubans A! Having a southern draw rose of Sharon lancero. Yay!! No it’s good! 😭

[@gerrymandarin5040]

Found this channel a week ago and now fully caught up. Love the drivel.

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@khh108]

I think they hit the Scotch before this episode. I love it

[@adamgriss2025]

Luckily for us , your struggle is our entertainment!

[@ludus77]

From our ancestral hovel in Belize 🇧🇿 to yours, we’re still fighting the virus one Corona at a time.

[@Fortjul]

Lol max " you gotta work for these things you can't have it to easy" lolol

[@Charlhiq]

I love these videos! Can't wait for them, that means its smoke time for me! Choclate festival for all! Why did dad stop drinking alcohol? Just wondering? I'd love do too! 🇿🇦

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

He stopped drinking so as to dissuade me from doing so. Very sensible!

[@andycromwell8229]

Can you do one on the theme centered around the 1967 British adventure crime mystery film "Deadlier Than the Male"? It features cigars and a central plot point ... and has Elke Sommer

[@paulyiasemides]

All these cigar podcasts I keep watching is going to be dreadful for my debit card, when I get down to Davidoff of London.

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

😂

[@DaddyEZ545]

The Trinidad is a much better Cigar in the same size. In my personal opinion.. Thank you as always for your videos. ❤

[@CorentinHarbelot]

Delightful. Et je ne suis pas anglais. On ne peut pas avoir toutes les qualités .

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

🤣

[@andyfrancke3557]

Where would the donkey be happy? In any field with close proximity to a carrot-bearing public, I should think.

[@daggajones1]

Time Well Spent

[@mrjace3]

Turn up your volume at 10:24 😂😂😂😂

[@waleed8530]

I believe this is also Saddam's cigar as well, his son 'Uday' had the Double Lancero.

[@theprodigalstranger5259]

I think fine cigars weren't meant to be cut with a guillotine. As we all know the guillotine was invented by a Frenchman for the express purpose of, and still only known cure, for male pattern baldness! If I didn't know better I would think Foulkes the senior was in his cups for this episode. Never seen him as giddy as a schoolboy in previous episodes. As a motorcycle enthusiast myself I am curious to know what Max is riding these days? Also, Max as macho as you may consider the moustache I'm afraid it's just not you old sport, at least in my opinion.

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

Hey guys! When would you try a pipe? Pipe tobacco is absolutely amazing! How about it ?

[@yazanshaban6776]

As a levantine myself, I must say that I suspect the proverb about donkeys was mistranslated or misquoted :). It actually says 'tether the donkey where its owner wants', which is to say don't argue with extremely obstinate people.

[@meneurb]

I confirm....lancero is a proper cigar... not like the new fatties...and again i confirm...cigar and riding match so well...

[@thesportingprofessor3011]

Easter Scripture mandated Lancero....bahahahahah!

[@MrBassTV]

Put the donkey where he is happy.

[@mightymasmat]

I do have a question for my so knowledgeable friends in this space: the wrapper cracked in a Montecristo 2, way down to the last third (with no loss of flavor or burning steadiness whatsoever). I do have a hypothesis: this specific cigar may be one of a few that I was gifted from a friend who let them mercilessly dry out and that I rehidrated, to some loss of flavor indeed; i hypothesize that the dryness not only killed some sugars and oils from the original flavor, but the elasticity of the wrapper leaf which then cracks when heated. What is your opinion?

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

Sounds plausible in my experience

[@basaraksan835]

KALITELİ GİYSİLERLE CIGAR TÜTTÜRMEK GERÇEK BİR DUMAN SANATIDIR...

[@Fortjul]

Great video. Altho you may be confusing Jesus with Bray Wyatt. But either way great show.

[@TheCitizenRemy]

Where can I get that cutter?
