Enjoy!
I first smoked Semois over twenty years ago, hand rolled into a cigarette, while on a trip to tour the Belgian micro-brewing and hop-growing operations in the south. I loved the unique earthiness and distinctive aroma that seemed to speak of the land in which it was grown.
For some reason, I haven't tried it again since. Well, that will change now. I just ordered three different Manil blends! Thanks for the nudge.
Better yet, I'm going to donate my entire Secret Santa earning to you, Jay. In fact, for every dollar earned, I will contribute to you an additional ten dollars in store credit at the My Little Pony shop on Times Square.
Dan, I may count you as a digital friend, but I want NOTHING to do with your little "pony"...
Don't forget, you are talking to Mr. War Horse, dude.Dan, I may count you as a digital friend, but I want NOTHING to do with your little "pony"...

Is the Perique mixture a shaggy ribbon like many of the Germains?
Yes.
At the least the tin that I just finished was shag. It was several years old. Maybe 2013?
Why bro?!? Why!...that blend is ruined for me now
I guess you don't know the backstory on it then! Condorlover and I devised it to be the most vile nic bomb ever to grace the planet. Russ ended up blending something for us that some people actually enjoy.
Such an abysmal failure.
The issue is I love it! But now when I reach for the bar I’m just gonna have your smiling Santa profile pic come to mind and ruin the moment
Oh, you mean you'll imagine seeing my War Horse? Hell, that's a whole lot better than seeing Jay's Little Pony, right?
I mean, G*d forbid I should mention my generous length of Strang!
What’s this stuff worth today, anyways?

The worst would be seeing @condorlover1 ’s trombolaka. I can imagine he will be flashing that all over the show in the excitement and spirit of the festive season
That's what Times Square is for.
If I live to be a 100 years old I will still be remembered for that damned War Horse Bar. Never get drunk in a Japanese restaurant with Woodsroad and decide to launch a revival of planet earths worst tobacco. That should also be followed up with never try your hand at running your own Madison Ave advertising campaign. Who on earth would buy something under the slogan 'It tastes like sh*t. Try it!'.
One former poster on here coined the slogan 'Tastes like sh*t. Smells like a fart. Buy it!'
In all fairness there are people who love the stuff and the reviews on the Pipes & Cigars website are all very positive with people saying how much they enjoy it so I guess Russ & Co blended up a winner.
