This reminded me of old time tobacco. It is simple, pleasant, easy to smoke and delightful. I first smoked a pipe in the 60s and when I smoked the first bowl of Dr. Bradleys it brought back memories of blends whose names I no longer remember. I have been very impressed with the quality of the tobacco from Iwan Ries.

This blend has become my one of my daily smokes. Balanced burley with a light berry casing, virginia with alittle latakia. The topping shows up in the room note, the flavor is quality tobacco with no bite and no bitter aftertaste. There is an creamy quality that is enjoyable. If you enjoy "American Engish" blends, you will enjoy Dr. Bradley.

I hadn't smoked Dr. B in a long long time. I got nostalgic when I was visiting the Iwan Ries web page and ordered a pouch. It rekindled some memories and I was somewhat amazed I could say, "Yep that's how I remember it". I thought this had to be a testament to consistency in an age where everything seems to be changing.
This is a nice tobacco. It didn't bite or burn. It is a straight forward tobacco blend without a lot of complex development throughout the smoke. I also detected a small about of Latakia and liked the lighter amount; some blends beat you over the head with it.
This will be a part of my rotation again.

An excellent no nonsense smoke.A lot of natural tobacco flavor. If you are a fan of COUNT PULASKI you will love this blend. It has a perfect balance of Burley,Virginia,Latakia, and Perique with an absolutely fabulous topping gently applied. It is a sweet/smoky blend that will satisfy all but the Vaper lovers. I believe the topping is a cross between chocolate and anise. A very similar blend to Count Pulaski in all respects.This is a must try for true pipe smokers. 4 of 4 stars!!

I smoked Dr. Bradley's for the first time over thirty years ago in a college dormitory. When somebody said it smelled good, I immediately returned to Dunhill and Sobranie, which I could not afford, fool that I was. I ordered a sack from IRC a few months ago, hoping to make peace with my wife over the atmosphere drifting out of my office, having recently started to work at home. Well, she's happier, but not as much as I am. I was delighted to find that it reminds me of a blend I used to buy at the old Cellini pipe shop. I can't remember the blend, but I do remember the taste. Anyway, Dr. Bradley has a good complex taste and an excellent room aroma, which goes very well at my house.
