[QUOTE="bent bulldog, post: 455872, member: 3484"] I just received the new St. Bruno flake in my shop and sure enough, Macbarens again has come fairly close to the old original, just as they did with Capstan, although I did notice upon opening the initial tin of the new stuff that, although the vinegar aroma is very similar in character to the old original, it is not nearly as intense. Also, the posts that mention the lighter color of the new stuff are absolutely correct, the old St. Bruno was much darker and when you popped a tin of it you could smell the vinegar from across the room, not the case with the current offering. I had a customer back in the 1970's who used to have me mix St. Bruno Flake (rubbed out) with a sweet Vanilla Black Cavendish and boy, you could smell that guy's pipe a block away.Anyway, it is great that someone is at least trying to reintroduce some of these great old blends. If anyone out there is listening who has any pull with the tobacco companies, the next one on the agenda should be a duplication of Will's Cut Golden Bar, an incredibly flavorful flake which was popular in the 1970's.
