I find this YouTube channel helpful for tobacco reviews
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyzAMe ... NXOXN584aw
There are currently 105 blends reviewed there. As I said, I have found the reviews helpful

Thanks for sharing!

I've been watching our "good friend Bradly's" reviews for a couple of years and I think that he's the best tobacco reviewer on YouTube. He does a really good job of describing everything from the cut of the tobacco to the types of tobacco in the blend, as well as the tin note, room note, taste and even the nicotine content. I may not agree with him on everything but he's pretty spot on most of the time and among the many people giving reviews on pipe tobaccos out there his reviews are I think by far the most thorough.oubobcat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 7:12 am I find this YouTube channel helpful for tobacco reviews

Disclaimer: I think YouTube is probably the best at spreading misinformation and hyping junk products for pipe smokers. I've really become not a fan at all.
Ol Bradley grates on my nerves for some reason. I will say he doesn't fuel the hype train or spread bad info, at least as far as I can tell. But his hipster ways, and mannerisms, and pinky out everything combined with the fact that it takes him 30 minutes to get to the freaking point he makes me want to punch cute furry things in the face.
Long story short, I don't watch

I think you eloquently summed up how I feel, both about YouTube, and Bradley. Every time I've decided to watch one of his vids, I find myself thinking.. when are you gonna land this plane?! He's a little too self indulgent for me. I'd much rather read a no-BS review from Fr_Tom, or maybe even Gentleman Zombie over on TR.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 2:48 pm Disclaimer: I think YouTube is probably the best at spreading misinformation and hyping junk products for pipe smokers.

I actually agree with you to an extent. Bradly does go a little long some times, he probably has political and social views that would rub me the wrong way and I probably wouldn't be caught hanging out with him at Starbucks over a latte or anything but I think that he gives a pretty thorough review on pipe tobacco.houtenziel wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 3:02 pmI think you eloquently summed up how I feel, both about YouTube, and Bradley.

I've watched'im from time to time. Sometimes I've found him entertaining and helpful. Other times I've grunted a disgusted "hipster!" and closed the video.

I can't get into channels like this.
I like the Breman Pipe guy, he always goes "Mmm" in between every puff and I think it's some kind of nervous tick. Lol.. He's a Historian I think and he's always on a location somewhere interesting talking about it.
