    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    I've recently rekindled my love affair with Semois finishing up a brick of Reserve du Patron (Tabac Manil). I just received my brick of Le Petit Robin, and I'm enjoying it in a cob with a lager on the side currently.

    Curly Block before Wessex made it.

I recall the Wessex is a little different, but I can't remember who made it prior to them (even though I bought one, lol). Tobacco Reviews...

    When Did Petersons Switch To Round Tins
