- J.F. Germain & Son "Royal Jersey Cavendish & Virginia" is (as the name would suggest) a Cavendish/Virginia blend pipe tobacco made in a style that hearkens back to the turn of the last century. How does this old school pipe tobacco taste? Stuff&Things has the full review.
From www.jfgermain.co.je - "This tobacco contains the same ingredients as the Royal Jersey Original Latakia Mixture, the recipe being faithfully followed but without the Latakia, revealing a tobacco with a quite different character."

You hit the nail on the head. I like this blend as a 'chuck it in the pipe, go for a walk ' smoke. I think perhaps as lovers of pipe smoking we have a tendency to over analyse. I enjoy this from time to time as a traditional subtle - classic - mixture.
+Jonathan Sawtell-Gist - Well put!
Excellent review as always! You sir, are the "Nutnfancy" of pipe tobacco reviews, save for his innumerable attention deficit fueled digressions. Keep up the good work!
+Cheeseybacun - Ha! High praise indeed.
Cheeseybacun bingo!
Time to binge watch stuff and things I finaly have a back log of vids wooop!
Thanks for your latest review. From time to time I really enjoy Germain's old fashioned pipe tobaccos like Plum Clake or Uncle Tom's. Haven't tried this one yet, but I'm looking forwabrd to it. My favourite blend, however, is Special Latakia Flake.
+Willy R - I'm still waiting to get my hands on that blend for review. Thanks for watching!
Interesting, will check it out!
Didn't know about thir producer earlier (haven't smoked pipe all that long).
Thanks for clip again. Royal Perique is my favorite in the series. I wish you Happy New Year and keep those lovely videos coming,they'r very enjoyable.
+Olle Wahlroos - Hopefully, I'll be able to get a tin of the Perique version soon. Thanks for watching!
Hello! I like your reviews very much. They are detailed , interesting and very informative. Have a great New Year and all the best! Kind regards from Zurich/Switzerland, Armin
+Armin Eyer - Thank you so much for the well-wishes! Happy New Year to you too.
Greetings from Finland! Just started watching your channel recently. The tobacco and others reviews are very well put together. They're informative yet entertaining, I've been enjoying them a lot. I also appreciate the thought you put in the production values of your videos.
I also have a request: I'd like to hear your thoughts on Peterson Irish Oak. Keep up the good work and all the best for the forthcoming year!
+Tuomas Aalto - Thank you for the kind words about the channel! I definitely intend to review more Peterson blends in the future.
Another excellent review Bradley. Amazing. Congrats. I liked it a lot. Thanks.
Another great year of tobacco reviews. Happy New Year, Bradley.
+Mark Seeley - Happy New Year!
I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. It's good but doesn't knock the socks off, subtle and different. Too bad it's biting you, luckily I didn't have that problem. Cheers.
+lunchie83 - Yes, I suppose it's just my particular chemistry. Not a bad blend by any means though. Thanks for watching!
If you get the chance Bradley try their Special Latakia Flake, it's a very pleasant smoke. Happy New Year!
+michael keddie - It's certainly on my wish-list. Thanks for watching!
Happy New Year, and thanks for all the hard work that you put into these videos - I really look forward to them!
+Rick Bissell - My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Love these different reviews. I just ordered a tin of Davidoff Royalty to go along with my new Roma 9mm Billiard straight pipe. Royalty is supposed to go pretty light on the Latakia. Hopefully I enjoy it more than Dunhill's Standard Mixture. I thought it was too strong on the Latakia.
+Nathan Kendall - Dunhill Standard is pretty perfect in Latakia content for me, but we all have different tastes. I hope you enjoy the Davidoff!
Your reviews are Super!.. Thanks for all the video's over the last year and have a Happy New Year!
+Old Khakies - Happy New Year to you as well!
I might try that one. Right now I'm smoking Germain's "UNCLE TOM'S MIXTURE" it is mild and interesting! Happy New Year.
+Steve Price - Happy New Year to you too! I plan on reviewing more Germain blends in the future, so perhaps I'll get to Uncle Tom's eventually.
I tried some earlier this year a little too bitey for me but i did change the pipe and used a larger bowl and was much more enjoyable, Great Review honest opinion appreciated Bradley :)
+simon cooper - Yes, it still has a tendency to bite me regardless of pipe used. Thanks for watching!
"Douche"! Haha ;) I love your channel, keep up the good work. I'm on the hunt for a "Corallo", i got inspired by your channel and pipes. Happy new year!
+bugsan - Thanks for watching! Good luck in finding one!
I have heard that bite is an issue for a number of the Germain tobaccos. Nice review and SHOCKINGLY one I will not put in my basket at my etailer.
+Colin Kelly - We shall see if their other blends have the same effect on me. I'm usually pretty resistant to it.
Very good review sir.
+Gerald Jeffers - Thanks!
oh and Happy New Year :)
Did you know that clearing your throat helps clear your nasal passages ;they are all anatomically connected , therefore helping you smell the Tobacco better . Sorry for the superfluous info lol !
+Moe Jaime - I knew there had to be a reason!
Great review! I'd like to inform you that I've changed the name of my channel to what you see above for discretion sake. I might be making a few videos on the way. Cheers!
+Pipers' Domain - Cool! Good luck!
Thank you!
As always, love the videos. Quick question, which tobacco do you think has the best "room note"?
+Russ Hammond - That's really hard to say. As a pipe smoker, I find most blends quite pleasant. Non-smokers would probably prefer heavily flavored aromatics though, and I never really smoke those.
i agree, I have smoked most of their blends; like them; unusual, but not compelling
+Michael Hammell - I'll be reviewing more of them in the future, so perhaps a few will make more of an impression on me.
happy new year (its new year in korea)
+MusingsofaJay♡ - Happy New Year to you too!
In my eyes as far as Germains goes, their flakes I love except their medium flake and everything else I can live without.
Plum Pudding is a exception, but it goes each way depending on the tin. Some are good and others are awful.
+Simon C - I haven't been able to get my hands on any of their flakes yet, but I am definitely interested in trying their Brown Flake in particular.
Perhaps you meant Plum Cake Mixture. Plum Pudding is a Seattle Pipe Club blend. Special Latakia Flake is, indeed, special. I like Medium Flake. It reminds me of a flake version of Esoterica Brighton.
I'm going to turn 18 in a couple months. I've wanted to get into this for a while now, what would you recommend as a first purchase?
+Oscar “Sacha” Munoz - Take a look at this playlist. You may find it useful. czcams.com/play/PL5bk8l-rKXpHAifudiro3Q0cm2NXeM5Bm.html
Stuff&Things thank you. :)
I've heard from others that tongue bite comes from the tobacco being too wet....
+Peter Parker - It can definitely make it worse. Even dry though, this tobacco has a tendency to bite me.
+Stuff&Things been smoking the english blend (nightcap) and it is really growing on me, such an interesting aftertaste for the hour after i smoke, like old books and leather. I know its a terrible request but could you review some standard Captain Black, i know, but i'd be interested in your take on it.
The thought has occurred to me. All I can say for now is, "maybe." Thanks for watching!
Where do you get those amazing trays? I need one.
+Thomas Justino - It's just a cheap metal tray from a local antique store. You may be able to find something similar in a store where you live.
