[gastro]

Jumped onto smokingpipes and saw this was sold out. Now I'm intrigued.
Did anyone happen to order these? How are they?

The bouchon idea has been around for years. This is just semois formed into an easily packable plug.

Kind of a novelty thing ?...

I suppose if you like semois for a once in a blue moon smoke, may save buying a brick and worrying about long term storage..

I don't know, doesn't seem economical to me but perhaps could be a good way to sample semois before buying a whole brick. On a sidenote, I really have to remember to buy some to try myself

Well they are in. I have anticipated this for a while, so here goes nothing. I will certainly write a review if I survive the experience :D Any thoughts on what pipe I should use for the bouchon?

Put That Cigar in Pour Pipe! ... ? :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion

Came across this article ( http://dutchpipesmoker.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/sunny-semois/ ), which describes the manufacturing of little cigars meant to be put into and smoked in a pipe bowl. What do you guys think?

I smoked those bouchon's years ago. If you like semois you should try them, for a change, even if they are quite expensive compared to the regular tobacco. The only thing, I remember that at the end of the smoke there was a lot of condensation inside the bowl.

If you order them, add a pack of Le Petit Robin, it's excellent

Hmmm Wonder if they color meers faster?
In any case, I gotta try

 

[kcghost]

I tried them once years ago and didn't like them. They didn't taste at all good.

Semois bouchons or semois in general?

 

[kcghost]

They both were a problem for me,

I was likewise intrigued by their Le Petite Robin blend and I just ordered some earlier this week, but I have no experience with it yet. It is very well regarded at TobaccoReviews. Le Petite Robin is a shag tobacco cut so finely that it has been compared to kiseru Japanese tobacco. Good luck with Les Bouchons.

I found semois unremarkable. The marketing and the story is better than the actual smoke.

Kiseru is the pipe, kizami is the tobacco

 

[mingc]

For me, semois is the most cigar like of pipe tobaccos. I do taste the floral quality everyone keeps mentioning but it is very faint. Because it is so dry, it produces copious amounts of smoke. I use it as a once in a blue moon change of pace smoke.

Thank you! Do you happen to know if Le Petite Robin is the kind of tobacco that a kiseru and kizami smoker would like? Or is the similarity of the cut just coincidence?

Also, I've seen pictures of kiseru pipes, the smaller ones about the length of a man's hand. The bowl is so tiny. How long does a typical smoker take to smoke a bowl in a kiseru? How does the smoking technique differ from typical western practice?

I’m not really educated on this at all, but I think the Japanese tobacco is finer than shag, like hair, I heard. That’s really all I know about it other than they don’t export kizami.
