Hey Bradley - see you got a mention in the Pipe Club of London spring edition magazine in one of the articles - definitely international my friend! Great review 🎉

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.

Yep. Something that doesn't work for me might be fine for you!
@toddkenneth 15 күн бұрын
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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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 2 ай бұрын
@@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.

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.

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

@@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

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.

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 2 ай бұрын
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. 🙂

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.
