St. Bruno | Ready Rubbed Pipe Tobacco | 50g Packet St. Bruno Ready Rubbed is in most regards, similar to the Flake version though this comes pre rubbed for convenience. This tobacco is often the first encounter many British pipe smokers have with a pipe tobacco because if its reputation, quality and availability. It conjures for most, a memory of times past, maybe of a relative or friend who used to smoke it but more than likely of the first puff they themselves took on a pipe. The tobacco is a Kentucky/Virginia blend which gives a woody quality to the smoke but unlike many strong Kentucky blends, the nicotine content is at a moderate level. The tobacco has been cased, pressed and cut into flakes, which have then been rubbed. The case notes are sweet, slightly citrus with some people claiming to taste floral notes too. The floral part is most likely from the Kentucky tobacco itself, where the wood used to cure the leaf has mildly floral qualities. It is by no means the dominant flavour. St. Bruno is an all day, every day kind of smoke that some choose to smoke exclusively, it's clean burning, cool and leaves your pipe mess free. The Summary...
