Tabac Manil Bouchons de Semois
(3.50)
This is Tabac Manil's Semois tobacco formed into bouchons; Semois is a Burley varietal developed over hundreds of years in Belgium. Bouchons are short cigars shaped sort of like wine corks with a pouched end (like a toque) and made to be smoked in a pipe; the pouched end is lighted. Please see Tabac Manil's semois tobacco listings for a description of taste and other characteristics. There are no casings or flavorings added to this tobacco.
Notes: Old pipes known as cheroot holders were designed to smoke cheroots, which were short, cylindrical cigars made to be smoked in pipes. This is not popular anymore, but smoking a bouchon in a pipe can be a wonderful experience. Try it, you'll like it.

Floral, earthy, cigar like,; if you are a burley smoker this is something you must find because there's nothing like it nicotine level it's perfect for me just on the side high, but here comes the but lighting this take a bit of practice, smokes cool because it does not touch the bottom pipe, so there's a lot of air along with the smoke, it's a short smoke no more than 25 minutes and its impossible to rehydrate in my opinion it comes fairly dry from the store, I wish some one would make Virginia version of this, the question is would I buy this again... Probably but I would not go out of my way for it.
