When i was in the Mir, i went a few times to daven maariv motzei shabbos in his house. He davenned maariv 20/25 minutes after shkiah, which is the old yerushalmi minhag. After maariv he said gut voch and brocha vehatzlocha to all those who were there.
We also used to go on chanuka to watch him tzin licht. he lit 10 mins after shkiah, and in those days the crowd in rechov chanan wasnt too big. The whole process took about 2 minutes. (His neighbour lit about 5 minutes earlier and enjoyed the crowd, as he made the brochos in a loud chazonish voice)
