Vincent Manil Le Petit Robin

[Cappy]

Had first bowl this morning. VERY flavorful. Wonderful toasty sweetness. Because of super fine shag cut, it burns really fast. Need to pack tight and smoke slowly. I will buy more of this toby.

I’ve never smoked Semois - your post reminded me that I need to get on that.
Thanks

I keep seeing two competing bits of marketing on this blend. One of from Vincent Manil that the lighter tobacco that this is blended with is a secret that they will never divulge, and the other is from reviews that say that it is blended with Virginias and Kentucky.

I've tasted this, and it was good and interesting. but blended, the semois just looses a lot of its originality... the parts that I like about semois.

But, that is a beautiful pipe in the picture. Really nice proportions and shape.

Le Petit Robin is fantastic stuff! I made sure to put plenty of it in my cellar.

I like the medium and especially the thick cut. The shag is tasty but not as pleasing to me as the single leaf. I like burley a lot, and this burley variant rings my chimes.

I thought semois had truly different taste for a burley product. Unfortunately, for me the difference didn't sit well with my taste buds so I chucked it after a while.

Second bowl of this, in different pipe, and both were deliciously sweet and smooth. Very very nice stuff!

Wait a ding dang minute! You just said you didn’t care about the rising price of meerschaums and will keep buying them, but you won’t buy this! LOL

Go on get some, and if you don’t like, I’ll buy some to cover some costs.

That's ok. Bringing attention to semois is not a bad thing. Unless it makes his tobacco harder to find.

The Petit Robin is a good intro to semois burley for sure. While I much prefer it in a pipe, the Petit Robin rolls a pretty kick ass cigarette. I roll them up for my wife occasionally. I've sneaked a few and they are pretty darn tasty.
