I dunno. I just call it “that tasty Italian blend” haha
Dude, run it through google translate or your favorite translating app.... Golden doubloon
He wasn’t asking about translating it; it seems he wanted to know the correct pronunciation, possibly so that he could talk about it without sounding ignorant.
GOOOGLE translate pronounces it for you with an audio clip! check it out pretty cool.
That’s very cool! I had no idea about the audio clip feature. I’ve used the text often for communicating with foreign eBay sellers.
Google Translate has improved mightily, but that means it's less fun. When I used it, years ago, to translate Japanese pipe sites it would describe puffing on a pipe as a "blow job".
Now, the fun's gone.
It sometimes translates to tobacco whistles
The German word for pipe “pfeife” (fife) translates to “whistle”
I crank up my best Mario accent: doBLOWnay DOro. I've never smoked it, or spoken Italian, but I can sound somewhat convincing to my wife and kids (cf. IT Crowd, episode "Italian for Beginners").
Fortunately, I've never had to say the name around anyone who can actually pronounce it authentically.

I go with duh-blohn d-oro, but don’t really find myself conversing about it much honestly
Done blowin' da oreos?
But yeah, it's pronounced like duh-blown-ey dOor-o

Pretty close. I used to speak Italian with a perfect Tuscan accent. Duh blownay doro (long "O"s, stress on the second syllable of doblone) would be pretty close.I go with duh-blohn d-oro, but don’t really find myself conversing about it much honestly
It really makes me realize how many words I see and read daily on this forum, that I've never even spoken outloud before.
