I really cant think of anything that has reminded me of St. Bruno of blessed memory, I must say. It is unique and stands alone. The modern version sold in the states is pretty nicotine free--perhaps the european market is still stout?
I'd honestly suggest that your friend tastes and tries his way through the scented offerings of the Gawiths...there will be nothing identical to St. Bruno, on whom be Peace, but some are reminiscent. I wish him luck.

You can't just expect to find a "light" version of a tobacco blend. To me, St Bruno Flake is a lightly topped va/bur. The burley is dark fired, which is probably why it has a decent medium nic hit. Anything that is light in nicotine will also be lighter in flavor unless it is an aromatic. For a topped virginia with a little less nicotine I would recommend Orlik Golden Sliced. I would also recommend to try smoking smaller bowls. A half bowl of St Bruno gives you all the flavor and half the nicotine.
