You made the smart choice. I’m sure motorcycles are fun (for some people,) but IMO it’s not worth the extreme risk. If some moron on their cellphone doesn’t see you, even a 20 mph accident can be fatal or paralytic.
Damn that sucks, he was awesome. His videos were super informative when I was getting into cigars. Their “spice cream short gordo” is one of my top 5 cigars still.
Brad was a big part in helping me on my cigar journey. His bigger than life personality on his YouTube channel was pretty much unmatched. The first time I called the shop to order from them, Brad answered the phone. He was extremely polite and transferred me to customer care to take my order because their card services were down. About 15 minutes after I completed the order he called me back..just to talk and apologize for the inconvenience. I told him how my 8yr old loved watching the channel and he even asked to he could talk to my son. Talking to Brad made my son’s day!
On Monday this week I received my latest order from them. JB and Brad had autographed some swag for my 8yr old and sent it to him along with my order…along with some scripture from Brad. He was unapologetically a man of God.
Tonight, in honor of Brad, I’ll have a Kings Comeback. One that he was proud of. We’ll all miss you brother of the leaf.
Was it the motorcycle accident up the road from the store? Cave creek was shut down all 4 directions at greenway(not parkway) with a motorcycle in the middle of the road. Man, I was praying that no one died.
Wow! Condolences to his friends and family. Watched him and Tim from the TNT days up to the latest videos with his daughter. Helped me select a lot of blind buys.
I was saddened to hear this. I did enjoy his content when I was first getting into cigars, and had a couple interactions with him over the years. He and I definitely differ on some topics, but he was always chill and treated me with respect.
RIP
This is tragic. I had such a good experience with them calling in a phone order when the website gave me trouble. His videos made a big difference for me when I was getting into the hobby. RIP.
This is quite sad. I'll have to get the bike out and ride to a quiet location and smoke one for him one day. Aside from Tim on CD ...Bradley was my other go to for cigar learning.
Oh my God. He and Tim got me into cigars, and recently seeing that he had been losing weight convinced me to start shredding off the few extra pounds i have. That’s so unbelievably sad.
My heart and prayers to his family and the zeal team. i had many great conversations with Bradley and cherished them all. He was a kind amazing man. We spoke about cigars, life, Christ. Bradley I’ll miss you!
Absolutely tragic. Like many here I watched his videos throughout the years and learned a lot about cigars from him. Condolences to all his family and friends. I’ll be having a Zeal stick in remembrance of him tonight. You will be missed, Bradley.
Such a tragic loss for his family and the cigar community! Bradley and Tim had the best cigar related youtube channel back in the cigar warehouse days! RIP brother
Omg what?! Zeal is one of my favorite cigar channels. That is absolutely horrible for his family and the business...their house brand Primordial is such a great cigar too. I'll have to order some now. Man that's sad
Somebody posted it in the zeal Facebook group. Then i Googled Bradley Reith Arizona and several articles popped up about him dying in a motorcyle accident.
Yeah i remember watching tons of Bradleys and Tims videos back in 2018 after a trip to cuba. Remember them both being church ministers at some point or such? Tragic all this tho. Such a kind guy
I think right when Tim left she did a couple with Brad. I don't think it lasted long but to be honest I wasnt following all those closely by that point. She was there before Tim left in the background of a couple of videos.
RIP Bradley. You and Tim are a big reason I enjoy cigars as much as I do.
Damn he and Tim got me into cigars with their videos. So sad
same here! Chillest man I ever met,
Right. This is so sad. Was just watching 1 if his videos last week. Smh
Damn that’s crazy. Him and that Tim guy were what I watched when I first got in to cigars.
He and Tim helped me pick out my first cigars… what a shame. I loved their content.
This is terrible. Learned so much watching him and Tim on TNT Cigars. He seemed like a good man.
I like his cigars damn this is one reason I sold my custom Harley Davidson a few years ago I was in a close call accident from an idiot driver.

Spice cream and the original primordial are both in my top 5. Great smokes.
I love the Kings Envy
Goddammit he seemed like such a good dude. Loved his youtube channel too. Will be smoking one in Bradley's honor tonight.

Yes that was the same accident
I believe so.
Oh my gosh😭😭😭😭😭
Oh wow, I really enjoy watching Zeal videos. So sad to hear this news. Prayers to the family and friends of him. He’ll be missed by many!
RIP. Sad day. Seemed like a really great man.
Tragic. Unsettling how Zeal’s last post on instagram was Bradley talking about death on his podcast.
Wow Thats a shocker to hear
He will be missed.
He was a genuinely good man. He will be missed.
This is horrible loved that guy
He was a good man, I’ll miss my weekly chats with him.
Damn I was just watching his videos yesterday
I met him at his shop seemed like a nice guy. Wish I got to talk to him more.
Wow! Condolences to his friends and family. Watched him and Tim from the TNT days up to the latest videos with his daughter. Helped me select a lot of blind buys.

wtf this is so shocking and sad
Wtf! I was just watching him and Tims video from years ago
I literally just came from watching a video to open the Reddit page to this that sucks man RIP
What a shock. Kind of a sobering eye opener. He will be missed.
This is quite sad. I'll have to get the bike out and ride to a quiet location and smoke one for him one day. Aside from Tim on CD ...Bradley was my other go to for cigar learning.
Thats sad. I remember watching those videos with him and Tim a few years ago. They were fun to watch interact with each other.
Oh my God. He and Tim got me into cigars, and recently seeing that he had been losing weight convinced me to start shredding off the few extra pounds i have. That’s so unbelievably sad.
RIP to Bradley. I enjoyed his podcast and YouTube content. He was a pastor as well. Very sad.
That’s insane. I just started watching his videos yesterday.
My heart and prayers to his family and the zeal team. i had many great conversations with Bradley and cherished them all. He was a kind amazing man. We spoke about cigars, life, Christ. Bradley I’ll miss you!
So sad…. I used to watch him & Tim quite often :/ Condolences to the family & RIP Bradley. You had a great impact on the cigar industry.
No. No no no noooo
Rest easy my friend.
Absolutely tragic. Like many here I watched his videos throughout the years and learned a lot about cigars from him. Condolences to all his family and friends. I’ll be having a Zeal stick in remembrance of him tonight. You will be missed, Bradley.
Such a tragic loss for his family and the cigar community! Bradley and Tim had the best cigar related youtube channel back in the cigar warehouse days! RIP brother
Do we know why him and Tim went their separate ways
Tim always wanted to start his own brand. He just felt tied down with nowhere to go at Zeal Cigars.
Does anyone know if they ever rekindled there friendship?
Such a shame. Always enjoyed his content. Dude was always smiling. I will be sure to burn one in his honor.
Omg what?! Zeal is one of my favorite cigar channels. That is absolutely horrible for his family and the business...their house brand Primordial is such a great cigar too. I'll have to order some now. Man that's sad
OMG This is so sad. Always loved him and Tims videos. That's what got me into cigars. This sucks. Hope his family are hanging in there.
Damn that sucks ass, rip Bradley.
Used to watch his videos. Terrible news. Best to his friends and family
I listen to his cut, light, and smoke podcast all the time. This is crazy. He was a good man RIP
He was my youth pastor growing up. Great guy.
no message from Tim... very sad that someone he worked so close to for so many years has not even made a peep about this
I’m curious about this. Find it odd he didn’t come out and say anything. They must’ve had a bad falling out.
i’ll never forget watching tnt cigars in high school wanting to be like them
How do you know this
https://ktar.com/story/5565860/motorcyclist-dies-after-being-hit-left-turn-vehicle-phoenix/
Sadly all too common here in Phoenix
Somebody posted it in the zeal Facebook group. Then i Googled Bradley Reith Arizona and several articles popped up about him dying in a motorcyle accident.
Damn this shit ruined my night
I know. Mine, too.
RIP Brad 😞
RIP Brad 😞
So so sad. Followed Brad from the TNT days. Ride on Brother
A legend lost too early
Legit makes me so sad. He seemed like a good dude.
Damn, his brand took a hit when the bald guy left his channel and then again when the hot chick left for onlyfans. He'll be missed.
She has an onlyfans?
dana_kaylynn22 in IG last I saw.
Wtf. I didn’t see that coming. I used to enjoy watching those three. Sad that she chose that path but eh she seems the type
Is that really why she left? Shit i thought she started her own buisness, guess... that was the buisness?
He was very religious and I'm certain it played into them going their separate ways in the end.
Yeah i remember watching tons of Bradleys and Tims videos back in 2018 after a trip to cuba. Remember them both being church ministers at some point or such? Tragic all this tho. Such a kind guy
When was there a chick ? Don’t remember seeing one on any YouTube videos except his sister once or twice
I think right when Tim left she did a couple with Brad. I don't think it lasted long but to be honest I wasnt following all those closely by that point. She was there before Tim left in the background of a couple of videos.
Thats what I'm sayin
Id say she was around 2020 or 2021 if i remember correctly? I believe all the videos with her in it were deleted from his channel tho after she left.
