I have watched every episode over 10 times while enjoying the same cigar as them, except the Davidoff 3000 they recently smoked on Max’s birthday, which I was out of (thanks Charles), closely looking out for flavours they suspiciously claim to be tasting from the cigar. Foulkes and sons is and I believe will continue to be the finest non-televised production to be broadcast from any British territory”. [3][4]
