After an absence of many months, we return for what I fear will be the last season of Foulkes and Sons, unless of course the viewer would care to sponsor future broadcasts.

In this episode we return to our original public service broadcast mandate and enjoy a Cuaba from 2002 that was subsequently discontinued.

I recall how the Cuaba was invented by the late and indisputably great Simon Chase in an effort to 'Make the 19th Century Great Again' - in my book 'Cigars A Guide' I describe it as the perfect cigar to enjoy while reading a book by the popular novelist Charles Dickens.

However we set aside discussion of the relative merits of Mr Dickens and Mrs Gaskell, Wilkie Collins and George Eliot so that Max can perform a vital part of our educational remit as public service broadcasters and inculcate me into the mysteries of retro-haling, smoke rings and the 'Irish Waterfall'

Needles to say we forgot our smoking hats
