He sure did! True wisdom

I prefer teachers who are genuine and non-abusive, and Benthino is NOT one of them.

He has some good coherence skills. This can come from practice and preparation. And he is also very measured here. I'm curious about his level of embodiment. From what I've seen of him off the top, he isn't highly embodied imo. I'd like to freestyle with him.

What specifically makes you say that he is not highly embodied ?

As an example: at 5:35 he says "The subtler we become, the more we understand without the need for conceptual or constructed knowledge". Is he aware that he himself is grounding his understanding by constructing hard conceptual knowledge constructs in this video? Cognitive understanding is distinct from embodiment and only a small portion of one's cognitive understanding can be embodied. To me, he seems immersed into his own constructs and hasn't transcended and embodied this into beingness. How can a being be the embodiment of constructionless understanding if they are immersed within their own constructs? 

However, creation of sturdy constructs is necessary for spoken articulation. If one goes to formless, it's much harder to articulate.

@Forestluv   Interesting, thank you. This reminds me of something I heard about Ramana Maharshi, that he only taught through silence, not words.

That cigar puts me off. I know it's his 'thing', but really?!

[Guru Peter Jordanson]

He is still fullt of shit like any other  teacher.

You are the guru.

Nicotine is an effective nootropic. If someone uses nicotine off camera, it doesn’t really make sense for them to always record without it unless they are trying to maintain an image which could be seen as inauthentic. 
 

His teaching in the video seems decent in the few minutes I listened to it.
