    What is going on with Vincent Manil?

    According to a post in another forum he had a major health issue but is better according to a newsletter he sends out. He hasn't posted on Instagram or Facebook since 2024. People are posting his tobacco on tinbids saying it's out of production. Does anyone here subscribe to his newsletter...

    Show Off Your Silver Windcaps Here
