Foulkes & Sons S5 E9

With the ancestral hovel under reconstruction, we shoot in (or to choose a more appropriate preposition, on) the only location that is not being renovated: the roof of the east wing.
As we reach new heights (literally and figuratively) in our ceaseless efforts to bring the user of Her Majesty’s Internet known as the viewer the greatest amount of nonsense in the shortest space of time we take this opportunity add a further dimension to our mandated purpose of covering the unfashionable and unavailable as we discuss the unaffordable in the slim and elegant shape of a Cuban Davidoff 3000 enjoyed in belated celebration of Max’s birthday and in advance of Father’s Day. In fact the viewer of Foulkes & Sons is in for a rare treat as for the first time on internet broadcast television Max makes use of his birthday present: a nine carat gold Dunhill Samdorok cigar cutter from 1967
In accordance with our surroundings, we dress largely in denim for the ascent to the rooftop and admire the roofscape of that paradisiacal spot of our Sceptr’d Isle known by the misleadingly bucolic soubriquet Shepherd’s Bush. Resisting the temptation to perform the dance of the chimneysweeps from Mary Poppins among chimney pots we perorate on the various and numerous benefits of the Davidoff thousand series (Cuban and Dominican).
As the swifts dart and dive around our heads and the crows hop along the roof of the nearby parish church we discuss among other things the Space race, the chore jacket, and the genius of Edward Sahakian

Max 'I can't remember the days you were drinking' Nick 'I can't either boo boom!' I actually howled at this exchange!

[@johnnymetallica1039]

I love how he reminds him of your mother my wife. Coolest father son duo ever 👏👍

[@zackwilson3]

As an American fellow smoker, and English romantic, I do appreciate these videos, especially showing a bit of what’s it looks like there. Thank you gentlemen! Keep it up, I hope to visit one day.

[@jslevy2597]

The denim safari jacket is a triumph. Together with the rooftop setting a real Beatlesque vibe. Happy Birthday Max!

[@infjt6965]

I have stopped smoking cigars but I still come to these videos for the great chat and culture. Thank you gents.

[@4dog1977]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MAX. THIS ONE WAS SO ENJOYABLE AND ALL THE CHUCKLES WERE REAL. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY NICK AND PRODUCING TWO GREAT YOUNG MEN #2 VIEWER

Happy Father’s Day gents.

[@complicatedtime]

This dialogue is sublime poetry.

[@michaeltemple8333]

Love the view. Great venue for a smoke. Thank you for another episode.

[@niallmurray9725]

Thoroughly enjoyable as always gents. Personally sat watching whilst enjoying the finest Golden Virginia roll up! One can only dream… 😉

[@nickfoulkessons5824]

😂

[@chunkychinn]

To Nick a fellow Father, "Happy Fathers Day" and to young Max I wish you a very "Happy Birthday", have a fantastic time, enjoy.

[@DownAtThePier]

I love these guys

[@8cervezas648]

We too enjoy watching the swifts at golden hour on the terrace of our own ancestral hovel. The finest time of the day for enjoying many fine things.

[@johnnymetallica1039]

This video absolutely made my day. Beautiful sky, ambiance, a break from the sartorial (love the casual) , the banter, everything perfect! Bravo 👏

[@Hammoodiano]

Happy birthday Max many happy returns of the day. Always a pleasure to watch you both. Such therapeutic and relaxing after a long day Greetings all the way from Pakistan ❤️

[@philipmcritchie7309]

First we had the Beatles on the roof now the Foulkes..

[@russ9921]

May I congratulate you both on the apparent integrity of your flat roof lead work. And the chimney - how I love to see a good flaunching. Your roof quite cheered me up after trying to smoke an impossible- to - draw Por Larranaga Montecarlo recommended by Max himself! I had to stick one of those thin cigar drill tool thingies up it to get it moving, reminding me, en passant, of my ex wife.

[@polmick]

Excellent and happy birthday max 🎂🥂👏👍

[@curiousmax8531]

I have been really enjoying your conversations. I have always wished I could spend time and talk with my father in such a fun way. Thank you for the great videos!

[@ptriggaman9860]

Thank you guys, love the content. I can feel my place in society elevating every time I view your educational episodes on the humble cigar. Thank you kind sirs, and long may it continue

[@pacerhythmandtiming.4109]

This must be my favorite episode so far. There's something about fresh air and natural light that goes together well with cigars and proper clothing. So much dry british humour, I was starting to wonder does this even classify as "dry" anymore. Thank you and have a happy summer

[@HablandodeWhisky]

You guys are simply awesome.. Old school but absolutely fresh air in these weird times, every single one of your videos is funny but classy! Keep going! All the best from Spain.

[@alexxfreedom]

A lovely change of scenery. I love the fact a rug came to the roof with you. Happy birthday and happy father's day.

[@robbo971]

Every time I see these 2 fellas I keep thinking I'm watching a Fast Show sketch 😂👍

[@joshuaashton856]

Happy Father’s Day Nick. Happy birthday Max. I hope all goes well with your renovation work. The singular Swift is back!

[@rrangel1968]

Happy Birthday, Max! Cheers!

[@tuomasaalto6024]

Great episode and happy birthday to Max!

[@ronaldhardgrove2825]

chim chimney, chim chimney, chim, chim, cheroo. We have the Foulkes' and they say adieu!

[@neilmcdonald3475]

Another great video gents and what a lovely view. Happy birthday to you Max. Best wishes to you all.

[@mrplow3874]

Greetings from northern Canada. Not many of life’s pleasures measure up to enjoying a fine cigar with pleasant company on a rooftop patio.

[@Nefville]

What a fashionable birthday celebration. One can only aspire to ascend to such heights of elegance and panache. I certainly hope that Max had an agreeable birthday, as us elders know and as he shall soon find out they become less agreeable with time. And please take care, we don't wish to see this exquisite duo plummet 30 stories to their deaths.

[@jonlipman1633]

These guys couldn’t be more delightful

[@cidalarid5034]

the "spontaneous applause" was brilliant

[@damienbridges8358]

Happy birthday Max. Keep up the great work gentlemen

[@illkickyouinthenuts]

All Cuban cigars, even very old Davidoffs, it's expected that some would have issues.

[@MisterChris1978]

we need a tour of the Nick's jewelry box!

[@TaxMan1776]

I believe I remember reading years ago, that the graphite pencils were potentially harmful when they inevitably shatter/break. The small piece can easily make its way into the craft/stations systems. Hence why they wanted to figure out a ballpoint pen.

[@markblackwell9486]

A lovely treat seeing you both on the rooftop!

[@TaxMan1776]

I see we put on a Canadian Tuxedo for the show. Excellent.

[@jopeify]

It's so good to be back on top.

[@svensulzmann4282]

Happy B. Day Max.

[@TammyDoron]

Beautiful backdrop! I'm used to claustrophobic environments where we lovers of the leaf are exiled. How wonderful to enjoy a fantastic cigar with an expansive rooftop view.

[@thegreatone-australia1851]

The ancestral hovell Sky Lounge - excellent and another delightful show - hooray!

[@denisjustement2914]

Such a delightful 'bohemian' family moment, I love to revisit on a regular basis!

[@padrongnome6180]

I quite liked the rooftop, upper "porch" if you will, video. I found the casual-idity of it quite refreshing this Father's Day. Happy Father's and Happy Birthday to Max! Happy to see you gents again.

[@csreber]

Happy B-day Max & Happy Father's Day 🎊🎊🍾🥂🎂🥂🍾 🥃🥃🎊🎊

Happy days Max. From across the pond. From Viewer #2 ,000,002

[@josephweeks820]

Wonderful setting. Congratulations to Foulkes, senior, wearing the neck kerchief. What style this man has! I was in awe of the cigar size and somewhat surprised at your tasting notes, still good after all these years. Like Foulkes, senior, I suppose. I thought I saw you waving when I was on my east facing balcony, overlooking Halifax (Nova Scotia) harbour. Cheers!

[@charlescrisp2814]

Happy birthday Max hope to see you soon x

[@jayumble8390]

I love the roof top setting...totally cool!!

[@priestofpartagas]

Happy Birthday, Max! Twenty minutes of Foulkes-A-Vision is the perfect Fathers Day treat!! Say, is that a Holland & Holland branded rug beneath you? Awfully stylish, that...

[@strictlyyoutube6881]

Loved the nod by Max to the Moroccan west London massive. You guys are fantastic!

[@The.Epicurean]

I've recently learned that pterodactyls have a penchant for fine, vintage Havanas. Take good care gentlemen, and remember; safety first!

[@francescoquerini8989]

Congrats from Brazil!

[@chanelcurry313]

Happy Father’s Day Gentlemen and Happy Birthday, 🎉 Max. I love the attire. Blessings from the other side of the pond. “I don’t remember when you drank.” “I don’t remember either.” Hahaha.

[@greggani4716]

Happy Father's day! Excellent!

[@judge4all]

Well done.

[@ChipAK49]

Your story about NASA spending millions on innovating a pen which would work in space, while Russia simply used a pencil, made me laugh quite hard. Thank you again for sharing your time with us, all the best. Your viewer, in Alaska.

[@gjarnling]

Absolutely love the Por Larrañaga Picadores. Doesn’t seem to sell that well here. I’ve bought several boxes to enjoy for years to come. Happy birthday to Max and happy fathers day to Nicholas! 🎉

Nice blue suede shoes Nick!

[@AnaInTh3Sky]

Another delightful episode! I must say, having recently relocated from London to Paris, this video makes me feel a bit more at home. When can we expect a F&S episode abroad? Paris should be an easy one! :)

I must say Max, when you said ,"dolphins plan on takin over the world🌎" you reminded me of Pinky and the Brain 😆 ,Such a relaxing video, cheers. Smokin ava maria reconquista. Happy fathers

[@thomasmcshane]

"The ash alone is worth crossing the road for" Amazing!

[@nathanhawee5373]

If You want a cigar that will last you through a game of golf, I recommend what they call "The Woody" here in America. Made by Oscar Leaf it is a 21" 100mm gauge. I hear it takes over 5 hrs to finish.

[@jefas7934]

America calling.... Max Nick I must say jolly good show. If only my fore fathers didn't leave England in 1635 for New England I would luv to sit down and chat proper smokes.I guess your fabulous videos will do keep up the good work gents.

[@kaileighton6376]

Happy birthday max, hope you’ve had a fine one!!!

[@Cr0wnKings]
