  • A delightful early summer evening stroll in the parklands and policies of the ancestral hovel puts us in a contemplative mood: gazing out at the livestock grazing beyond the ha-ha we reflect upon the simple pleasures in life: bespoke shoes, @charvet_official ties , @kenthastelachter bespoke suits , swifts on the wing, bespoke shirts #yulbrynner in Westworld. Indeed I suffer a Brynner-like malfunction as I cannot recall #Shakespeare 's 18th sonnet (summer's lease hath all too short a date ... and similar sentiments of unfeigned aestival joy rendered all the more poignant by its brevity)
    The cigar we enjoy is the perfect companion to such a balmy evening, the #Porlarranaga Galanes, a new #vitola , 52 ring gauge x 120 mm : sweet, light fragrant, evocative and like summer all too quickly gone.
    Look out for the moment of high drama as I almost choke on a glass of #rhubarb nectar
    As ever @mafrocc provides excellent commentary and informed observations on the nature of contemporary #Havana #cigar making. Artistic direction filming and technical know-how delivered with aplomb by the amazing @freddie_foulkes

    There really is nothing that expresses a loving father/son relationship , quite like watching a son laughing hysterically while his dad is coughing up a lung, over a fine cigar in the vineyard. So heartwarming. LMFAO

    Max: I prefer slightly slimmer cigars from 30-42 ring gauge
    Also Max: proceeds to smoke a ring gauge which usually isn’t his size, from episode to episode

    After two years of looking, a box of Por Larranaga Galanes is sporadically making it's way to the states. Cheers!! And I luckily picked up a box of Cuaba Divinos as well.

    ‘It’s astringent’ said Foulksey old Nick
    As another great smoke he did pick
    He looked really dapper
    While admiring the wrapper
    And sucking a ring gauge too thick.
    My attempt at Shakespearean iambic pentameter descends into limerick...
    ... or farce.

    I come from a working class background,grew up in a fairly working class city ( Glasgow) and i don’t smoke cigars.
    I should find a video of two toffs discussing cigars in extremely toffy accents extremely off putting
    It’s anything but off putting, could listen to you guys all day.

    Isn't there some sort of under-gardener who could give Max a trim with the rusty shears? As for the face-fungus? hideous! Get thee to a barber! Different topic: are you aware of the Havana Gentlemen? Do you think they are mocking you? Why not invite them to the a.h. for a jolly good puff.

    What does double down actually mean? I am not up to date on American English

    • @Optitius
      @Optitius 2 года назад

      1. strengthen one's commitment to a particular strategy or course of action, typically one that is potentially risky.
      "he decided to double down and escalate the war"
      2.
      (in blackjack) double a bet after seeing one's initial cards, with the requirement that one additional card be drawn.
      "the amount only increases when you choose to split or double down"

    This channel needs significant improvement in audio and video capture, not to mention editing. No logo, installments named by season and episode? Is this a Netflix show? :), but seriously, raise the bar a little bit.
