Just cracked open a tin of 2022 St. Bruno flake, trying for the first time in an MM Apple Diplomat with a Forever Stem.
Really nice tin note, tobaccoreviews has it at an Aro, SPC a VA, but then in the description SPC says topped with floral and citrus. Toppings are Aros, not sure why SPC says the Family is VA.
I’m still trying to figure it out, as I’ve only started smoking it.
Floral is more prominent for the moment, with a Kentucky vibe, light VA, and maybe a teenie citrus lingering in the back.
What’s interesting, the entire time, after taking around 7 puffs, each time, a tingly/fizzy sensation on the tongue I’ve never experienced before with any blends. As to what’s creating this sensation hmm... It’s actually pleasant too... odd..
I’d say, for anyone liking VAs & Kentucky, that’s never tried this, you might enjoy it. Whatever is gong on, Toppings or Casings it’s subtle, not overwhelming at all, it simply comes across like a different varietal of a Kentucky.
Be well everyone!
