I was recently turned on to this by a fellow clubman, in fact a bunch of us pulled together and reached out to mr Vincent Manil in order to place a larger order with him. I am dying of curiosity, especially after reading this article.
I know jiminks played around with this for a bit, in fact I read his review of the Le Brumeuse. I ordered the finer cut, but I guess it's all the same as the man deals only with this single seed. I also ordered a few Boucherons, I guess the toscanello version of this Belgian varietal, that is especially made for smoking in a pipe. Any thoughts, guys, does anybody else have experience with this stuff?
