St. Bruno: Will It Ghost?

[sablebrush52]

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.

Maybe it's a batch difference. The plugs I have smell like a garden.

I want the plugs you’re getting! Although my love for RG has faded since first discovering it. I’ve come to appreciate the more subtlety topped blends these days.

Our driveway is lined with magnolia trees, and I love walking outside in the evening or after a light shower of rain as the smell is divine.

Ah, it's spring where you are. Enjoy it! We're heading into a long winter here in the north.

It sure is. Perfect weather for Lakeland’s sauce. Fortunately all seasons are great for pipe smoking. Sounds like it’s time for you to get the Latakia out from the back of the cellar

I bought a tin of St Bruno A couple of years ago and smoked about half half a tin and enjoyed. It does leave a ghost but not as severe as Ennerdale. I believe that St Brunos is going to be a special blend in the feature and will not be surprised when people gegin hoarding it. After I bought my test tin, I ordered another 100 tins as I plan on this being able to smoke this blend when ever I please.

I've only ever smoked it in a clay and don't get the ghost!

Another vote for ghosting here--I have a pipe dedicated to it now.

I’ve started to alternate bowls of st Bruno and haunted bookshop in my favourite cob. I get a slight aromatic ghosting in the background which adds a nice dimension to bookshop

I think I might try that.....the last bulk I bought of HB.....about 3 or 4 years ago was bland....a bit of a ghost might get rid of it quicker.....

Shame you got a bland batch bro. Even consider putting a pinch or two of Bruno in the jar with HB and leaving for a week or two before smoking. I did this with Prince Albert using bf#7 and it really added a nice vanilla dimension without it tasting “artificial”

Yeah it was really poor....... 1lb if I remember......very bland compared to the previous couple.......


I have made a couple of Burley /Oriental / Perique mix pucks in the noodle press that were a little bland so I kept them in the Peterson Hyde Park Jar........worked a treat!
