I agree that cavendish burns hotter unless you have it at just the right moisture level. Anyone else cut WAY back on tobacco buying with how ridiculous the prices have gotten?

[@beans316]

I hear you it seems to go up every year but yes I keep buying 😂

[@PiperDave2023]

Good Sunday Morning Brian. It's been snowing for 30 hours straight up here in the wilderness of the Rockies in Wyoming. We are supposed to get 2-4 feet - 2 more days to go. Looking forward to those boat vids!

[@beans316]

Uuuughhhh no I’m hopefully done with most of that crap

[@PiperDave2023]

@@beans316 I show a picture of my SUV in the snow cut in my vid last night.

[@MidwestBriar]

I checked out for a minute and I didn't hear about Mac Barren / Sutliff. I'm a little torn up right now.

[@beans316]

Yeah crazy for sure

[@jeffd1147]

Hey Brian, just wanted to say thanks again for the beautiful pipe. I'm currently breaking it in with some Old Joe Krantz and Haunted Bookshop. It is an excellent smoker and I love the bowl size. I'm sure I will enjoy many more smokes with it. Thank you Beans 316.

[@beans316]

Your very welcome my friend

[@Stillypapabear]

Morning Brian. Thanks for the review. I agree, January was down right cold here in Oklahoma. But February is starting out better. Sunny and 70° today. Hope you have a great weekend as well.

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend hopefully spring arrives soon haha

[@jamesstrathy2178]

Snow up to the arse here. Great video!

[@beans316]

Yeah I hear you I’m sick of it for sure

[@BrendanBuckley52]

Good morning Brian. Always look forward to your videos on Saturday.

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend

[@johnBrett-w6v]

Thanks for the review, I do have a few tins in cellar, but have never tried it yet.

[@beans316]

Hope you like it my friend

[@s.m.r.1202]

Thanks Brian! Im over the cold and snow as well. Im ready for more fishing videos😂

[@beans316]

Absolutely me to I can’t wait to get out on the water

[@PiperCalvinist]

Just finished a bowl of Director’s Cut before watching this video. Man, I find that a good blend. It seems unique to me, as it has elements of a VaPer but has a nice smooth creamy smokey sweetness.

[@beans316]

Yes it is actually all the HU stuff is pretty good stuff

[@andymeresse6930]

Ordered some of the new Rivertown Tobacco Works (Crimson Shadow and Oak & Ember) last night. Cool to see Laudisi and C&D trying to absorb some of the bulk void left by Sutliff. Looking forward to seeing how they are.

[@beans316]

Hope you like them my friend

[@SouthAlabamaPiper]

Yep January was cold we had record snow fall along the south….crazy Thanks for the review

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend yeah it’s been a brutal winter here so far

[@PaladinPiper]

Thanks for reviewing that buddy!

[@beans316]

I’ve definitely had worse that’s for sure

[@PipeChapMatt]

Hello and thanks for sharing your impressions. Yes, a nice looking tin is not evrything. HU has fine tobaccos; I am confident that you will not be dissapointed. Greetings. Matthias

[@beans316]

Yes I bought over 30 Hu tins years ago and liked most of them

[@jamesking4225]

Not sure how this video ended up in my feed but here I am , and now I want a pipe

[@beans316]

Baaahhhaaaa now I think that’s a first someone not a pipe smoker 😂

[@redline_007]

I was able to get my hands on a tin. For me it it was just cool to have a tin from someone i enjoy watching reviews. It's probably going to just sit in the cellar for a while until i get to it

[@beans316]

Cool let us know how you like it when you do open it

[@paterlehnert3929]

Had to throw the rooster back in 😅 Thank you for the review 😊

[@beans316]

Hehe had to squeeze it in there

[@PeriqueDave]

@beans316 Thanks, Brian. I always look forward to your videos. I am interested in a Firebird/ESB swap with you if you still are.

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend I already made a trade

[@bigcountrybriar9911]

Bonus vid idea: Bean Blends! Go down to Pappy’s Bar and record us a vid of you adding a little of one of your favorite bourbons to it 🥃😁👍🏻 or how it goes along with sipping on a pour. Cheers!

[@beans316]

Beans Bourbon Baccy show 😎

[@heeeeyjooooooooe]

I tried ripping a tin open by hand. I don’t know how you can do it so fast. 😂

[@beans316]

Baaahhhaaaa I’m a big guy just don’t see it when I’m always sitting down

[@jeffgilbert4508]

My kids were watching your intro and they were like woooo is this a video game??

[@beans316]

Lmao sweet

[@yusufsayed1583]

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend have a great week

[@stovepipe1863]

👍

[@beans316]

Looook at it

[@stovepipe1863]

@ 😆 I have a tin I picked up from a pipe show down my way forgot I had it till I watched your video

[@Eyes_that_see_set_us_free]

So is this guy flatcap another pipe tobacco reviewer or he typically sell tobacco as someone interested in blending just curious because as we all tobacco laws are overbearing I’m wondering how he’s able to make and release his own blends

[@beans316]

He’s just a fellow Utube presenter that had some made before the Sutliff collapse

[@steverussell8]

HAIR? Did it come with a comb and hairbrush 😮

[@beans316]

Haha think it was chopped material from there process

[@SmokeSnacks]

I would love to trade you some 8 state or steam works or crf for the firebird.

[@ironleatherwood]

I would, are you interested in chopped cigar leaf from C and D. It's not my thing.

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend I already made a trade

[@FlatCapPiper]

Thank you very much Brian for doing this review. I also noticed that the tin top bended sort of easily. Some of the tins I got had some big dings from shipping. Nevertheless, I was extremely grateful that Sutliff was able to collaborate with me on this blend. It took me 3 times to send it back and forth until I was happy with the results. I learned a lot in the process of tweaking the percentages. I wonder what it would taste like if we removed all the cavendish. Food for thought when I work on a hopefully second edition. Just like any blend, jar it up and give it some time to do its thing and perhaps you will enjoy it more and give it a few more points up. I had some people mention how it got better after it was allowed to be in the mason jar for a bit. Thanks again for doing the review! Hope to see you again in one of the shows this year.

[@beans316]

Absolutely my friend thank you everyone’s tastes are different but I will definitely let it rest awhile

[@ahmadsadikaljanabi]

Morning Brian, i really dont think its the blend as much as it was the blender leaf, sutliff cavendish and burley never agreed with me either. Perhaps if it gets produced by someone else it would be much more superior

[@beans316]

Agree my friend for sure

[@MikeRhodes-gw4mp]

Hey Brian - will trade -

[@beans316]

Thanks my friend I already made one appreciate it
