Ogden's Mixture

[vates]

...or should we call it 'Mac Baren's mixture' now?​

That's the project that's been conceived a long time ago but finally came into fruition.



St.Bruno's from Germany, Gold Block from the UK.

The latter is only 40g (39 in fact)



...so had to add only 4/5 of St.Bruno's pouch.



Not a problem thou as I enjoy St.Bruno on its own very much.



Thoroughly mixed. It's a pleasure on it own.



Jarred and cellared. I'm in no hurry to try it and the general opinion's that you should give it more time to 'marry'.

Now, while we wait:
Have you tried it?
What's your opinion on this blend?

I guess it should be called STC mixture now as Ogdens no longer exists

Will be interesting to see your thoughts after its had a while for the flavours to meld,compared with straight St Bruno

People did a similar blend with Gold Block and Condor back when I lived in the U.K. I have heard of the St. Bruno/Gold Block blend from others but I have never tried it. It sounds quite interesting.

I really enjoy St. Bruno but never had Gold Block. Hoping it comes back in stock someday in the US. Hope your experiment turns out great

I’ve tried it and to me, St. Bruno stole the show. Just lightened the flavor that I love in St. Bruno a bit and found that each time I smoked it, I would’ve rather had a pipe of straight St. Bruno.

ST Bruno Gold'' many men have told ,Todays Gold Block by Barens is only a shadow of what it used to be back in the days

True, I bet it was quite tasty when Ogden’s was still making it.
