St. Bruno: Ready Rubbed 1.75oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-744-0002

St. Bruno was originally conceived in the 1890s by Thomas Ogden, a businessman who had started a tobacco shop in 1860 along Park Lane in Liverpool, England. Within a few years, Ogden opened several other shops throughout Liverpool, and after seeing how successful his retail operation was, Ogden decided to venture into manufacturing, establishing his first factory in 1866. By 1890, Ogden owned six small factories and a snuff mill. Since its beginnings, St. Bruno has become a staple pipe tobacco, with Mac Baren taking over production in 2006 and purchasing the blend completely in 2015.

As a pipe tobacco, St. Bruno features smooth Virginias and smoky Dark-Fired Kentucky, all steam pressed and sliced into thin flakes — with this version, then, rubbed out before being packaged. It's topped with subtle floral and citrus notes for a delightful character that complements the natural tobacco without drifting fully into Aromatic territory.

这么好的草下面怎么能没有我们中文评论。入口味觉是淡淡的梅子酸甜。呼出烟气的那一刻,周身萦绕着烟草的醇厚香气。我是搭配的橡木心朗姆酒或者是正山小种。放上恰恰图良的假面舞会或者德沃夏克的交响诗组曲。让这一切更加美妙。v草之中谁能摘得桂冠很难说,但这款烟草在v草和调味之间有一个完美的平衡,不难成为很多人的挚爱。
Great tobacco!

I love the ready rubbed and tin both. The RR is more convenient though. I like to take St. Bruno with me when I travel because it's dependable, I get a good smoke every time. It is slightly floral, but not in the same way Lakeland type blends are. Br... Read More

Some ready rubs are not like the flake versions. Have no fear, this ready rubbed is the same quality recipe as the flake version. The only difference, it’s already broken up, rubbed out for you. The dark fired Kentucky leaf and Virginia, together wi... Read More

This review is in regard to both the Flake and the Ready Rubbed versions of St. Bruno as they taste identical to me. I discovered Condor before St. Bruno even came to our side of the pond (U.S.) and I fell head over heals for the stuff, hard and f... Read More

Product: St. Bruno Ready Rubbed 1.75oz
商品の説明文によると1800年代末期からあるレシピらしいとのこと。注文したきっかけはsmokingpipeのブログを読んで興味を持ったことだったが、今はすっかり虜になってしまった。決して複雑なブレンドではないようだが、このしつこくない着香と相まって、シンプルかつ豊かな風味を編み出しているように感じた。これを上手く説明する語彙力がないが、自分にとって適度な甘さと適度な香り、着火のしやすさと味わいやすさ、ついつい手が伸びてしまうブレンドだ。一世紀以上愛されてきた理由もわかる。なお個人的な好みだが、最... Read More

ST Bruno, 和一个老朋友的聊天
December 11, 2022
Product: St. Bruno Ready Rubbed 1.75oz
周末的下午,忙好手头的工作,煮一壶红茶。点上一碗,它让人很容易的感受到放松,不像SG,红法那些弗吉尼亚烟草需要注意抽吸和捕捉味觉。它只需要点燃,就能很好的燃烧,自然散发出炙烤的香气,带一点若有若无的果香和果酸,让半个小时的放松更加惬意。就像是和一个老朋友在一起,有一句没一句的闲聊,彼此都很放松。

An old and well-established favorite among the pipe community, St Bruno is a classic. Really, a quite stout (high nicotine) mixture. The Dark Fired, combined with the Tonka Bean and Geranium oils, makes for a quite assertive flavor. A very slight,... Read More

不错的一款VK调配
June 03, 2022
Product: St. Bruno Ready Rubbed 1.75oz
开袋闻着有一股梅子的酸甜,味道有点像是陈年的fvf,草的形态是黑色的碎切片而湿度略大,切片上带有糖霜看起来是有陈年的感觉。点火开抽前段酸甜可口,中段开始k草劲道起来后烟气饱满度增加,酸甜感夹杂着烤烟的劲道和满足感一直持续到尾段,只是舌头上略有辛辣感,室韵很好是酸梅的香气,整体体验很不错的一款v草,值得推荐。

Has a unique top note, though not quite floral. Well worth smoking sip style, burns slow, has a good flavor, maybe a slight nutty hint along with the slightest touch of dried prune or fig.

A great semi-aromatic tobacco with a healthy dose of dark fired leaf and a topping of rose geranium and tonquin. Has a decent amount of nicotine, but not overpowering. Will ghost a briar or cob if smoked frequently. One of my favorite blends.

Rich fruits and sweetness, a little zing in the nose and lingering tingle on the mouthful, along with delicious Virginas in the retro, and then some faint lingering woodiness and hints of dark fired Kentucky (which give that little tingle too).
