Bring back foulkes and sons , true British entertainment. Great to see max could we have him as a regular
+1 from me! His Majesties Internet has never been the same since the cutbacks!
Agree with what you're saying, less of this bootleg F&S stuff and give us the real deal
Hopefully there will be a F&Sons Christmas special 🙏🏻
Yes yes, I agree
Amen.
Whenever I am smoking a Cigar alone I find company in these video…truly exceptional. From South Africa 👌
Max Foulkes ,TOP CLASS!
From US, and always wanted to go to Davidoff in London and Max helped me out. I am new to cigar smoking so he really took his time with me and gave me many recommendations. He was very down to earth I felt and genuine. His service was what sold me to the point where I purchased a dunhill tobacco pouch as well.
Max Foulkes! Proper conversation with proper company!
I stood in that humidor earlier this year and talked cigars with Max - lovely man who gave me great recommendations! Bravo 👏
always a treat to see you two gentlemen on my computer screen.
Had the honour of meeting Max yesterday in the shop. Wonderful chap and very knowledgable
Max, like his father (and yourself Kirby) has impeccable taste. The SCDLH El Principe is one of my personal favourites too and in my opinion, one of the most versatile Havana cigars out there. Definitely worth grabbing a few boxes.
Love the El Principe. Recommended to me by the good people down the road at Foxes a few years ago.Perfect with a coffee in the morning
Yet another killer upload, Kirby!
Excellent, gentlemen! Well done, thoroughly enjoyed it.
I've stood in that very Humidor and hold it in my heart as a very special place. Loved the discourse and all of the expertise and passion shared by Max. Thank you!
I went there myself recently. Max wasn't there unfortunately, but I was served by a very kind Cuban gentlemen. The funny part is after he found out I spoke French he started speaking it with me. So here I was in a humidor in England, being helped by a Cuban man, in French 😂
That's awesome. I've had the pleasure of Max helping me out as well, knowledgeable and charming irl.
Max Max Max love him love his style and flair loved the time where you both went to the thrift shop and found amazing out fits ..... his passion for pure aged cigars
He has a gift, for sure!
Great guys, great place! 👏
Great video, Max is on top form here!
Yes if Foulkes & Sons continues along with this series I will be quite satisfied. And learn a thing or two more about the finer things in life.
im soo glad kirby took cigar keep. soo much amazing content planning a trip to london next year!
Glad to find this channel.
Great video for true cigar lovers
Love these videos, Max and Kirby are both a pleasure to see as always
Max is the best!
Great show!
Good to see young master Foulkes again Kirby.
Fantastic ❤ on my list next time I get across the pond
Greetings from USA! I love your videos! Can’t wait to come to England to visit your store and visit the wonderful places of england
Well done guys.
The only obscure regular production vitola I feel I should recommend here is the RyJ Sports Largo. An elegant slim cigar great for a short smoke.
First! Great video guys. About to lite one up myself. Cheers
What a great episode! I would love to see an episode about Hoyo de Monterrey please.
What a lovely pleasant guy, and Kirby Allison is ok as well. 😉 🇬🇧
Hey, love this concept, i started smoking cigars i thought looked and smelled good, and the two first boxes i bought was cuaba, this little one and the salomones ( which is a beoutiful Cigar, best enjoyed by the sea i think ) i put many away for aging, but all my collection got stolen just last year unfortunatly, so i have not been able to get new ones, but i hope the day comes soon. Best reguards from Norway!
I hope Mr foulkes is doing well. Love these. Keep them coming
I love how kirby can talk with amazing people from the industry and listen to them and their sea of knowledge and still be completely clueless about cigars , mystery.
what do you mean by that
I landed on that San Cristobal Principe as a great breakfast/lunch cigar. The only trouble I had was the construction was slightly loose sometimes. Great flavors though.
Очень хорошее полезное видео. Обращу внимание на эти сигары . Я начинающий в сигарах
Thanks for this Kirby. And nice to see Max out and about, though it appears this may have been filmed around 2021. Anyway, please keep them coming. Best regards.
Reposting as part of the series here on cigar keep. As such, we removed from Kirby Allison. We do, rest assured, have new episodes that we will be releasing!
Kirby Allison is fantastic
Like to hear Maxs' unusual picks 👏 😚💨
He’s the best! The problem is that every time he picks something, it sells out! 😅
@@kirbyallison lol 🤫
Nick foulkes writing for GQ was a great read .
Has kirby met peter york. 🤔😯 true snobs lol 🤣
Hello and thank you for the content! May I ask the channel creator what is the main camera and lense used to film this particular episode? Thank you in advance and I always enjoy watching Nick and Kirby spending time together.
Just an observation Kirby, but I’ve noticed over the last few weeks that your walk has improved greatly. Also, cigar smoking here in Chiang Mai doesn’t incumber the same stigma as in the West.
This is an old video that was on his regular channel just after covid I believe.
It’s because he’s homosexual and practicing those types of behaviours results in walking funny due to the rectum taking a beating.
Max should def. visit Texas - and please make a video of that!
El Príncipe has been a stick I’ve been meaning to try for a while 👌
I've found them to have a fairly tight draw unfortunately and they have a spicy, cedar flavour profile. Not recommended.
Thanks for venturing off the beaten track. I'm with you. Opus One, no thank you. Cohiba, only if you insist. Fillet steak, honestly? Bellet, keep pouring it. Cuaba, por favor. Sweetbreads, any day of the week.
San Cristobal, a very underated brand!
can u recommend? Which one
Good grief Max is an encyclopaedia
Cannot wait for my next visit
Kirby am I mistaken or is this a re-upload?
The only exam he has passed😂
God bless you pal
whats the name of ribbon around last cigar in box for easy removal ?
I find smaller cigars have more flavour.
Was this filmed back in 2021???
What watch is Max wearing? Does anyone know?
How do you find the cigars among all the government health warnings?
Do they place the same warnings on marijuana?
Why release the same episode instead of making a new episode for cigar keep lol
While I’m flattered that you have watched all of our videos on @kirbyallison, this isn’t the case for everyone. And as we transition some of our cigar content to Cigar-Keep, we are removing it from Kirby Allison. So, as a part of this effort, some content will be republished here after being re edited and re mastered.
This work isn’t cheap! And UA-cam ain’t paying the bills! 😅
@@kirbyallisonkeep doing what you’re doing Kirby!!
I think this guy is missing a ring or three. 😂
Max needs more rings and wrist jewelry
Is Foulkes and sons finished?
I thought the same. Not much content lately. That's very sad, I loved the interaction between Father and Son (same goes for Edward and Eddie). And I think this video is actually quite old, 2021 or thereabouts.
Would anyone else like to know how much these cigars cost?
I'm guessing, probably not. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Kirby needs to re-learn to gracefully pass the microphone earlier, like he used to.
Tobacco should be taxed higher to get people to quit smoking!
Maybe cigarettes but not cigars or pipe tobacco. MORE people should smoke cigars and pipe tobacco rather than cigarettes.
Cigarettes are junk but cigars and pipe tobacco are very classy and should be enjoyed by most. However, the smoking age should increase to 25.
While we're at it we should tax spinach and all other fun!
Let's see (and I'm coming from the perspective of a non-smoker... never smoked in my life)...
We had to all but ban cigarettes and all tobacco because it would cause cancer (though apparently only in some people). Taxes were put on them at exorbitant rates by governments deciding they know better than you. After all - taxing something makes it less dangerous (or is it just a money grab?). Second hand smoke was a killer (cue screams).
BUT - they legalize marijuana. It is a FACT (whether you like it or not - facts have zero to do with your feelings) - smoking marijuana produces all the same risks smoking tobacco. You are still sucking in burnt residues, and so, suffer the same lung problems.
Marijuana increases heart rates. Marijuana use by pregnant women can cause developmental problems during and after birth. It can cause certain types of mental illnesses. It slows mental capabilities. It causes unreasonable thought processes.
And what do you think the second hand smoke from marijuana is doing?
Marijuana produces many more societal issues that tobacco ever did.
In the late 19th and early 20th century a large percentage of people smoked - and the country was very productive... we invented airplanes, cars, appliances, telephones, etc..
Today, more people use marijuana in the United States than tobacco - and it is now one of the most unproductive, lazy societies.
I'm not that old, but I can remember when tobacco commercials were routine on TV (like the cowboys smoking - but still never became a smoker). I could still go places without smelling tobacco smoke.
Today - I can't go anywhere without smelling marijuana - AND it smells like a skunk self-immolating after rolling around in its own dung.
Pointy point.
None of these cigars are truly obscure. The average Cuban cigar smoker knows of these.
I do not know why cigar bars exist in the first place! Even though cigar smoke is not inhaled, it still causes health problems, including cancer, emphysema, and COPD.
Also, I do not know why people glamorize cigar smoking as cool and luxurious! What is so cool and luxurious of a product that smells gross and causes health problems?
So why did you bother watching this video? Each to his own mate.
Carrie Nation?
Very bright man Max, and men.
