  • Outside broadcast from the cigar shop at the Connaught hotel, filmed at an ungodly hour shortly after dawn (or at least before noon).
    And given the unnecessarily early hour of the day, we select an appropriately approachable cigar the #trinidad #coloniales
    Among the selection on the shelves behind us, are cigars less frequently seen than the #lochnessmonster and #sasquatch
    We spend quite an extended eriod of time, marvelling at the fittings, fixtures, ladders and especially chairs (with flip down, integral side tables)and rather wish we had such appurtenances at the ancestral hovel.
    it has recently come to my attention that the dancing these days is to “monetise “ ‘content’ Accordingly, Max and I begin to ponder the wisdom of a Paywall, as I believe it is known by initiates of His Majesty‘s Internet, and will begin selling debentures shortly. , Please let us know if you are interested.
    Otherwise, it is the usual cavalcade of nonsense that you’ve come to expect with cameo appearances by #Cincinnatus, and the wily general known as the #Cunctator #hannibal #punicwars
    very many thanks to #paulafitzherbert , and all of the #connaught for making us feel so welcome in such a splendid room

    Another brilliant broadcast! That room looks incredible. And the selection of cigars looks absolutely dangerous. I’d go bankrupt.

      I have two La Reinas I bought in may 2022 the morning after my son was born. It was in Taunton and they cost me £35 a stick, which was above budget then. I had no clue how rare they are now.

    What an amazing locale, a proper smoking lounge for proper men about town. I was recently asked to describe this programme and I quipped "It's a show about cigars that isn't about cigars!" Whatever it is and whatever it isn't do please keep making new episodes.

    Ok I'm going to say it. I wish more men were like Max and Nick, they dress how they like and act in a way they feel most comfortable. I would much rather have someone who is genuinely themselves and unafraid to explore their own personality quirks. Too many men these days are so desperate for attention that they act like baboons or walk around peacocking. The Foulke's are a shining example of what a gentleman is. Calm and collected, knowing exactly what they think and unafraid to let their feelings be known while still upholding respect and decorum.
    Perhaps you're one of the last beacons of hope, I just wish more people in the modern world could be exposed to your channel. I feel they could learn alot from watching you, especially how to act with respect while still being fun. Wonderful stuff, I look forward to binge watching every episode on repeat for the 5th time!

    Just when I thought that things could not get any better, The Connaught aka The Coburg (Have I spelled that right) was it changed because of Kaiser Bill's family name, and renamed after the great WW1 battleship. Well I know that the Connaught is no battleship it is the dainty Lady of Hotels. My first hotel placement when I was on the Savoy Managment Training Scheme all those many years ago, in the days of Dame D Carte and Sir Hugh Wontner! But I digress, time has moved forward and now it has a Cigar Room, as Claridges I believe has a swimming pool? Another fine episode from our intrepid cigar heroes, so happy that my Sunday mornings are improving once again with your televised missives. Phenominal. Actually wanted to do a surprise and get to your book signing but alas, back to the infirmary for me, the knives are out again! Maybe I'll make it for a Grand birthday celebration in time. Well thankyou so much from the bottom of my heart, thoroughly enjoyed thgis episode.
