I just enjoyed my last bowl of DC that a generous forum member ;-) sent me a while ago. That is a good one, just not readily available for me.

St. Bruno.

As much as I enjoy smoking a variety of blends, I wouldn't enjoy pipe smoking without st. Bruno.

philobeddoe · Mar 9, 2017

Simon, just curious...how do you think the new MacBaren St. Bruno stacks up to the older version?

sablebrush52 · Mar 9, 2017

+1 on St Bruno, even though the Mac Baren Version I've been smoking recently seems a bit tame to their earlier stuff. Still have a little of the 1970's Ogden product.

@philobeddoe, first off mcbarens have been making it for years now. 8-9 I believe. It's gradually been watered down, tweeked with somewhat. Smoking it all the time, as I do, even though it's lost some of its strength & taste, you don't really notice the difference. That is until you smoke an old pouch of the original Liverpool made stuff. Then your reminded it's like chalk & cheese.

The biggest difference for me, is the ready rubbed version. That being said, it still pleases & satisfies me far more than any other blend.

So many blends....
Aged Elizabethan Mixture, MM 965
