First Impression: St Bruno Ready Rubbed

[briarbuck]

Excellent review. I have had a few bags of RR in my humidor, but have been reticent to give it a try because of the floral description.

Fine review, nuanced and comprehensive. As fine as the tobacco is, were I smoking it and drinking that beer, in the end, and maybe in the beginning and middle as well, I'd be paying more attention to the drink.

I did have to drink water after each beer sip to keep myself tuned in to the pipe.

Very nice review, now i want to try some.

Do I get the job?

I’m thinking, what the hell is he talking about? Then I saw it, damn these eyes! A review, interview.. ya know, I was close. I had 3 interviews the past couple of weeks, must be on my mind.

 

[weezell]

I absolutely love this stuff. I prefer the RR to the Flake

Yes......and YES!...

 

[weezell]

I was deeply concerned that I'd be associated with the likes of @weezell and @condorlover1

Now if you will retract that statement and admit our greatness...

 

[The Clay King]

I've smoked a few packets of St Bruno in my clay pipes...

 

[FurCoat]

I never tried flake, there is "much" difference of ready rubbed?

I can't tell a difference other than the price

 

[FurCoat]

I figured you would like it. I add a few pouches to most orders to get free shipping. I have quite a bit on hand.

Great review, interesting descriptors. Thank you much.

The sirens of alcohol play an enchanting melody that humans can't ignore, even from the first few sips. Those were the days! Not really; not really at all. But from the standpoint of the buzz, oh yeah!

St Bruno - maker of some of the best TV advertisements!

 

[Frasermac]

In the UK we have the advantage that St Bruno is available just about everywhere. I am rarely without an open pouch of it, ever reliable and a pleasant smoke.
Nice review ?

 

[saltedplug]

It's a hard choice, but if I had Bubbles at my beck and call and an ever-reliable tobacco pervasively available, I don't know which would would win my undying affection.

I got it. Meet with the woman and go buy a pouch, smoke it up, meet with the woman, smoke it up. Rinse and repeat.

To me saucing on the Ready Rubbed might be a tad more pronounced that in flake version, but this is solely my subjective appraisal'

Very well could be. I may have to do a side by side comparison. Now I have an excuse to pop a tin.

That Pete is a great looking pipe and your review gave me great insights into St. Bruno. I haven't had the pleasure yet, but your review has moved it way up my to do list!

Thanks, man.

The problem with scrolling from the bottom up on the forum.. I read Bubbles and thought 'What's Michael Jackson's pet monkey got to do with anything'.
Scroll up further and 'Aaaahhh'

I'll watch that later when the missus is elsewhere.

In addition to water, I grabbed a Founder's Double Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Breakfast Stout, one of my current beer obsessions. A finely crafted 8% meal in a bottle.

If you will try Rasputin XXX stout. Absolutely the best stout I ever had, a fine compliment to Dogfish Head Double IPA.
