  • A landmark moment in the history of outside broadcasting, and a highpoint in the short but effulgent history of the studios of Foulkes and sons. A visit to the newly reopened Davidoff of London to taste the anniversary cigar with none other than Edward and Eddie Sahakian

    I'm struck by the feeling of "eavesdropping" on a private conversation. The Sahakian's are two of the nicest people you can watch, and Foulkes' are comic gold. Four of the most charming people on TH-cam.

    Terrific episode - loved the on-site visit to a renowned store. (Maybe some shots of the exterior and Jermyn St. would have been nice for us far flungers.) Can we look forward to more of these excursions? The ancestral hovel good, too. No complaints here. This was the father-son special. Keep fighting the good fight, one corona at a time.

    I hope you gents will permit me making a small correction:
    While the Yamasa project is remarkable, and I enjoyed a Davidoff Yamasa Petit Churchill just yesterday, it was the Fuente family that first produced a wholly Dominican puro - complete with the first Dominican wrapper leaf - more than 20 years before Davidoff, with the much sought-after Fuente Fuente OpusX.

    Sometimes Nick talks so much that he misses an important moment when Edward is offering him a cigar and Edward is trying to make a statement about what Nick has meant to this cigar. Nick just starts talking and misses that special moment.

    Thank you for an entertaining and somewhat insightful visit. Typically British, I love it. No wonder that American want-to-be a gentleman K.A. is always over there. Foulkes, senior, mentioned terroir. I would like his opinion on Cameroon versus Cuban, as they were probably together before the land masses split into continents.

      imo exquisitos (lets wait for the pros to wage on this but until then...). They're really nice and small cigars rolled by hand with this lovely smooth base flavour shared by most Davidoff cigars. And if you like that you'll like The Darkest Hour and the classic 1000.

      I would recommend the Davidoff no.2. It’s a slender 38 ring gauge and so a very classic format. It smooth and nutty and very light. Would take you maybe 45 minutes to smoke at a leisurely pace. It’s one Mr Sahakian’s favourites!

    • @jpruiz600
      @jpruiz600 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The soft flame lighters they are using use butane as fuel. Same as the jet lighters most people use to light their cigars. Using a gas station cigarette lighter or a Zippo is definitely a no no. Butane soft flame are good to go.
