Tabac Manil La Volute
(3.33)
La Volute is the latest Belgian treat from Vincent Manil. With a similar profile to La Brumeuse, La Volute is cut in a much different crumble cake manner that gives a slower longer lasting burn that allows subtle nuances in the leaf to shine through!

There´s something magic in it. This pure tobacco has so many different nuances, it's unique in many many aspects that's hard to write a good review.
Who is really dedicated to this should probably smoke it with paper and pen in hand.
People always told me this is the best tobacco in the world so i bought it around 3 months ago and have been smoking since then and every time it shows me a different face.
I quickly understood why is so estimated and appreciated but I have to say this is not my cup of tea even after many good words about. it just didn't get me. Way closer to cigar than I thought. I can feel is everything there, earthy, wood, smell like old farm, sometimes reminds me straw hat, hay, RUSTIC is a good word to describe. Smokes hot but lower than i was expecting considering it moisture (zero moisture). Its cut makes the action of fill the chamber properly a hard mission by itself. i had better experiences with shallow and large bowls than deep narrow pipes.
This is the kind of tobacco that teaches you something, in my case, it showed i'm not a pure Burley fan and also that a generic burley is good only when it get close to Semois taste profile.

Comes very dry almost crispy. Packed right in my cob i proceeded with the charring light, this was all that was required. I simply tamped with the unburnt end of my match and the flavour of a mild cigar (a la cafe creme or Henri Wintermans small cigar) was immediately apparent. Burns fast but stays lit. Not a bad experience definitely worth trying.
