Thank goodness. I thought I was going bunky reading about St. Bruno ghosts. Never detected one, and don’t believe the current manufacturer could make a ghost if they tried.....

Well.....they've got those 7 Seas blends, a couple of aromatics, and produce Sutliff tobacco.
Here too I can't say it'll ghost, if any then only a light floralness might be perceptible after several bowlfuls smoked, flushing with hot water helps, and yes toppings on RR seems to be a bit more pronounced
Funny, me too. I was going to chime in but my answer would have been a convincing "uhhhh.....no?"
I'm a bit of a knuckle-dragger though, ghosts have never been a huge concern.
Thanks for the input guys. I'll go the cob or meer route.
Would the floral note be closer to say war horse bar, or previous versions of erinmore? Just trying to make sense of it before ripping into the Bruno I have cellaring. BF7 is good aye, my idea of a OTC.
For me, it's so light it's hard to tell. The slight ghost, like has been said before, comes from the combo of the floral/tonquin flavoring, and of the dark tobacco's themselves.
Closest thing I can compare it to is to say it’s like Conniston Cut Plug Lite. Take that with a grain of salt, as I only tasted Conniston for the first time yesterday, but it’s the closest thing to it that I’ve tried.
Different from War Horse Bar. That one is mostly Valerian root/tonquin/anise to me.
CCP Lite. I like that description. I’ve been smoking some home grown burley mixed with dark fired, dark air cured, and stoved VA that I infused with about 5% ennerdale and it is kinda what I’m expecting st Bruno/Brittish otc to task like.
I don't get a rose/geranium hit from St Bruno. It you're looking for that, try Revor plug.
Yeah I think I lumped the floral/almondy flavour all into one grouping as have only tried half a dozen or so blends. I’m definitely looking at grabbing some revor in the future
A lot of people mistake Revor’s Latakia for RG.
No. It’s a long standing internet argument/joke. Revor doesn’t, and never has listed Latakia as an ingredient, but people smoke it and swear it’s a clone to McConnell Latakia Flake, etc., etc.
It’s just a fun discussion.
Or they mistake Revor's R/G for Latakia. How, I wouldn't know. Rose/Geranium smells and tastes nothing like any Latakia I've smoked and Revor is dripping with Rose/Geranium.
No, definitely not War Horse Bar. I’d say it’s closer to Erinmore but still nothing like it, just very subtly floral in the same way Erinmore Flake is... St. Bruno has a tad bit more of a floral note in my opinion. It’s one of the first traits about it that I fell in love with, however, it’s a complex blend and there is so much more to it than just the floral note.
Yes! Let’s bring back the Latakia in Revor Plug argument! You know I side with you on that argument, hahaha. I’ll be damned if it doesn’t contain Latakia.
Interesting, I pick up on a faint floral note in Revor but it’s very faint to me, I can’t really discern what it is but I love it. It’s also in McConnell’s Latakia Flake... whatever “it” is.
It’s amazing stuff, but just get McConnell’s Lat Flake, it’s basically the same stuff.
