It is a staple and typifies French pipe tobacco for me, but nationally there will be fans of St Claude or Caporal Export eager to press their claims. Some say it is rough, and I can believe that if it is consumed outside of its intended market. Locally this is good baccy with no wish to be perfect. Fairly full-bodied and, if puffed slowly, creamy whorls with a decent nic-hit pepper your nostrels. Loose cut means it burns well, no re-lights. Un côté utilitaire qui n'est pas pour me déplaire. Btw, Mac Baren now handle this.
Update 17/04/2022: Just finished a fresh pouch. It's so more-ish!

Unfortunatelly for me, I bought this tobacco in its new package (a pouch whereas it was in cube of paper a few months ago). The taste is the same but it was for the tradition. I enjoy natural tobaccos (no flavoring or casing, no additive, etc) so I appreciate this one. Meanwhile I found it wasn't the best natural tobacco, even if it's an institution in France. Maybe it has changed with ages. It's strong if you smoke it too quickly, tasty if you smoke it slowly. Obviously, smoke it dry. Long story short : if you like this type of tobacco, try it. Otherwise, pass your way.
