SEMOIS?!? WTF!!

[gervais]

Just opened up a box of Semois burley from a few years back. Grabbed a bowls worth of tobacco from the pouch and picked this out! 3/4 of this box are stems. Guess I shouldn't have went for the "thick cut"

Looks like that semo is not...

 

[renfield]

Was that Vincent Manil Semois?

Yes, yes it was

Try smoking a whole bowl of em and report back to us on the flavor?

Lol I can try, but I don't know how nice they'll burn

I'm told that the stems and veins have the most nicotine. Those birds-eyes have an amusing sizzle and crackle when they burn, reminiscent of clove cigarettes. Sigh...

I've heard that as well. Also that it's good for grinding up and using as snuff.

 

[shanez]

Which particular "semois" are you talking about?

 

[Waning Embers]

They're tobacco, smoke them.

 

[brooklynpiper]

I think, particularly in Semois, these bits are nice

You could try putting it in a coffee grinder for a few bursts to break it down before smoking it. It might help it burn better.

it will burn fine without that. With the level of dryness they have it will burn fine. The leaf ribs are awesome.

Belgican burley mmmm.

You can just use a record album to sort the stems from the smoke bowl material and if there’s any seeds in it, those will come out as well.

I highly recommend using Van Halen 1984 album

 

[gervais]

I'll smoke em and be grateful, lol

 

[Brendan]

Sounds groovy.
If you start seeing things in "kaleidoscope vision" let us know

 

[Searock Fan]

Surprise !!!

 

[burleybreath]

If it's really 3/4 of the package, I would suspect a deliberate joke.

Funny, I was just going to comment that that many stems usually came with as many seeds. And that I found “Big Bambu” to be a great spring tray.

Back to the topic, I need to try some semois, as like high N but the Rustica varieties don’t jive with my mouth chemistry.
