It's always amazing how different people's mouth chemistries work. For me black canvendish smooths out a blend and prevents tongue bite, whereas I really have to be careful with bright Virginias because they'll bite the heck out of me if I get them any hotter than a slow smouldering ember.

@stuffandthingsyoutube 4 месяца назад

Yep. Something that doesn't work for me might be fine for you!

@toddkenneth 2 месяца назад

100% agree. No problems at all with cavendish (except gloopy aros), but certain Virginias will fry my tongue if I don't take every precaution.

Can confirm, the Zippo lighter with the pipe insert is spectacularly reliable in windy conditions.

Rattrays Marlin Flake is a staple in the pipe tobacco world. A great blend alongside Old Gowrie and Hal O' the Wynd. 🤙

I have so much of that stuff in my cellar from 2016 🎉

@Nathan-zw7nq 28 дней назад

My wife is temperamental when it comes to room note. My Virginias she doesn’t like, but the most of my Englishes (except Red Rapparee) she is a fan of the smell. She says the English blends have a smoky incense smell to them. Very interesting.

@lesbrady 4 месяца назад

I also liked the background setting.

@RidingWithDave 4 месяца назад

I need to try this but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I absolutely love Old Gowrie though and have about 10 tins of it in the cellar.

To be honest, I like you doing this outside. Shows more personality and connect with your guests. Keep going with this platform. I guess since all my videos are on a motorcycle, pipe smoking reviews, I am use to it. Great video sir. 😊

@tombrown1898 4 месяца назад

Bradley, Black Cavendish can be either Virginia or Burley in origin. The Virginia can bite, but not in small amounts. The cheap one-sucker Burley is what is used for those candied big bag tobaccos at Walgreens. Unflavored, it can be sooty and no good at all. I actually have a VaPer on order: Dan Tobacco Treasures of Ireland--Limerick. I enjoyed it 25 years ago. We shall see. Hey, what are the tanks and silos in the background? Reminds me of my working days, when I was in and out of such places all the time. Great show today!

@stuffandthingsyoutube 4 месяца назад

Hi, Tom! I can’t remember if I mentioned it in this video or not, but I definitely prefer Virginia based cavendish (more English or European style) to burley based. In small amounts, such as in a blend like 965, I don’t mind Virginia based cavendish at all. Thanks for watching!

@tombrown1898 4 месяца назад

@@stuffandthingsyoutube Hello Bradley! I received the Dan T. Limerick and have had a few bowls of it. Not being a Virginia and VaPer connoisseur, I didn't know what to expect. Even though I enjoyed this 25 years ago, that has no bearing on my opinion of it now. In short, it's very good! Quite smooth, but quite full, with a healthy vitamin N kick and a lot of smoke. There is a sweet casing, but without added flavor. A pure VaPer, which I believe you would enjoy.

@SergueyGorokhov 4 месяца назад

Hi, Bradley! Thanks for the review and all the cool videos❤ Love your channels. As for the presentation of the flake, in Russia we call it "a belt".

@stuffandthingsyoutube 4 месяца назад

@bigcountrybriar9911 4 месяца назад

I have a similar relationship with cavendish. I love a few blends with condiment amounts of cavendish but most give a sensation like they could bite. Appreciate the review Bradley

@MC-gj8fg 4 месяца назад

I've not experienced tongue bite with Marlin Flake. Meanwhile, cavendish, boring on its own, adds a light, naturally sweet mellowness that plays well with the stoved virginias and perique IMO.

@TheGmarian 3 месяца назад

Bradley, have you ever tried leaving the room for a few minutes to gauge the room note? It wouldn't be quite the same as smelling someone else's pipe smoke, but maybe it'd give you a good enough idea to use in your reviews.

@stuffandthingsyoutube 3 месяца назад

I have in the past, but I like the smell of pretty much every pipe tobacco, so that's not much of a gauge! :-)

@TheGmarian 3 месяца назад

@@stuffandthingsyoutube LOL Fair enough.

@TheGmarian 3 месяца назад

@@stuffandthingsyoutube Hey. Bradley. I don't want to bother you, but this is too funny not to share. I remembered that in his review of Elizabethan, JinInks talks about it changing hands, but the new version was pretty close. Then, he added that this wife made a comment, "Oh, you're smoking that stuff again." She doesn't care for the room note of either version. :D

@Mehrshad_F 4 месяца назад

thanks for the video and your efforts Bradly. I can undertsand and know how uncomforting or distracting recording outside and trying to do a review might be. Just as an idea which I'm sure you have thought of it already, but is recording inside your car an option? I think it would fix most of the problems you are currently having. Love!

Hal of the Wyn No Cavendish, No Latakia, No Orientals. I’d rather have the headlined in my rotation. It’s awesome! Much rather than Quiet Nights from G. I. Pease or Plum Pudding by Seattle Pipe Club! 😊

@jaredyoung5340 4 месяца назад

I'm always interested to hear your VAper reviews as I am really coming on to them. The digester tanks in the background are pretty cool, looks like they're repainting them? Have you been kulshan brewing? It looks like a pretty neat spot!

@stuffandthingsyoutube 4 месяца назад

They stripped them down, and I think they’re going to seal them with some sort of rust neutralizer and leave them unpainted. Thanks for watching!

I enjoyed this, but cavendish, for me, has this Diet Coke effect and leaves a bad mouthfeel. The tobaccos in this blend are high quality, I just can’t do it with the cavendish.

@toddm6999 4 месяца назад

Sometimes I feel like eating the tobacco when it smells that good ..but I refrain as I stick it in my pipe.Lastly I find Perique smooths out the Virginia's.Gotta get this stuff..I will wear the long flake around my neck as a trophy 🏆.Would smoke this in my Churchwarden to avoid the bite

You could tie it into a snazzy cravat.

@richnewman 4 месяца назад

Man, you are so aggressively anti-Cavendish! 😂 Condimental Cav doesn’t bother me at all. I like it in stuff like Fusilier’s Ration, Bengal Slices, etc. I like this blend, too, though Black Mallory is my fave from Rattray’s.

@Bannockburn111 4 месяца назад

I wouldn't say he's "aggressively" anti-Cavendish. If he were actually that strongly against Cavendish in tobacco blends, he'd say this was horrible and no one should buy it because it has Cavendish in it. Instead he says he enjoyed Marlin Flake overall, and recommended it to anyone that likes VaPer's. 🙂

@richnewman 4 месяца назад

@@Bannockburn111 Well, I say this in a light hearted context, but if you watch his videos you will see that he will knock most every blend that has Cavendish in it, even condimental.

@Bannockburn111 4 месяца назад

@@richnewman I've watched almost all of Bradley's tobacco review videos (a few old ones I haven't seen); I know as well as anyone what Bradley thinks of Cavendish (other than Bradley himself of course). Not everyone likes Cavendish; get over it.

@Orochi_001 4 месяца назад

For me, cavendish mostly just waters blends down. I prefer zero or barely any, and want to be punched in the face with VaPer flavor. Thanks, Bradley!

I'm similar. Thanks for watching!

@howardberger2226 4 месяца назад

On all your videos you keep saying that you're not doing " room note". So why don't you stop mentioning it. Either you do the room note note, or you don't period! Enough' s enough!! You don't have to say over and over again that you're not doing the room note. Or are you OCDC? Please!! I've been watching you for years. I like your reviews. But it's annoying to have you repeat the same meaningless thing over and over.
