Thanks for responding @Twansparant. That’s close to what I originally had in an older Sage project I used.  
Upon further investigation, there’s an issue with the most recent bless v4, now included with gulp-bless v3.1.0. [https://github.com/BlessCSS/bless/issues/93](https://github.com/BlessCSS/bless/issues/93)  
Since some function in Sage “injects” `@charset`, a typeError monkey wrench gets thrown, causing the bless process to fail.  
In the interim, I’ve installed an older gulp-bless version.

While all compiles fine on `gulp build`, all is not well with `gulp watch`.

When running build, `@import url('main-blessed1.css?z=1459617040469');` gets printed inside `main.css`, but while watching, `@import url(…)` never gets added back in even though bless is run.

```
[BS] Watching files...
[14:18:01] Starting 'wiredep'...
[14:18:01] Starting 'bless'...
[14:18:01] Finished 'wiredep' after 164 ms
[14:18:01] Starting 'styles'...
[14:18:01] Finished 'bless' after 126 ms
[BS] 1 file changed (main.css)
[14:18:09] Finished 'styles' after 8.21 s
```

Anyone else having this problem?
