[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 550484, member: 4458"] Okay, just finished a bowl of St. Bruno, and guess what? I liked it! It has been more than three years since I last opened that jar and the seal was very tight, had to use both thumbs to pry it off. In the meantime it has changed. No more bitter floral Lakeland at all, now the first part of the bowl was some kind of cereal grain and a faint suggestion of fennel seed. A respectable detente at this point. But getting further down in the bowl it developed more spice on the snork, and a wonderful, slightly sweet sarsaparilla flavor. This just proves why it is prudent to hang on to blends (rather than throw them out) and see if they develop. I also want to clarify that I don't mean to challenge anybody's choices here - if you like apples and I like oranges that is only to be expected. But I'm glad I didn't leave my opinion of St. Bruno as "not my cup of tea." I also remember some good exchanges with Preben but he has disappeared from these pages, and I wonder if maybe my joke about Gaslight turned him away? This is my first time on a forum so I'm still learning the subtleties of it all. Anyhow, my day ended well with some St. Bruno enjoyed as I gazed upon the night sky. [/QUOTE]
