Last month, several of my Pipe Club brothers encouraged me to try a bowl of some Belgium Semois that was there. Their comments were almost exactly the same as above. It definitely was unique ... and enjoyable.Its pretty good tobacco, different. I would recommend you trying some. there's a learning curve though. Comes completely bone dry, at least you're not paying for water! Then you have to pack it tighter than you would ever think, I mean cram it down in the bowl after it's filled with all your might. Light, sip slow and it's a wonderful nutty experience if sipped. A nice vitamin N boost as well. Most don't rehydrate it, keep it dry as it comes.
Well ... a splash of Perique might fit the bill. Don't think it could hurt any.View attachment 346312Kaywoodie Shilouette with a metal band. 1940s vintage. Smoking an oriental-Virginia forward blend of 507C, 515RC, Maryland, Turkish, Smyrna, White Burley, and some Cherry Cavendish. I call this 88s. It is smooth, buttery, and the sweetness of the Virginias is ever present.
Thinking about what changes I might make to it in the future or do I stop right here?
Modified Rhodesian???Camping by the mailbox finally paid off. Now smoking a Kai Neilsen (No idea what to call this shape) with some Khartoum. I was happy to find it has an ebonite stem. Its very comfy.

Yes, it seems inevitableWell ... a splash of Perique might fit the bill. Don't think it could hurt any.
Well, I don’t smoke indoors so smoking a bowl is an at least 30min long commitment, while a cigarette is convenient. Anyway I’m off them for a week now, let’s see.My biggest problem ( years ago) with stopping cigarettes was...I kept buying them. Once I stopped buying them it was much easier to stop smoking them. If I had no cigarettes, I smoked my pipe.
This guidance might also be applicable for the use of the French domestic Caporal Export tobacco as well as for other central european traditional fine ribbon cut pipe tobaccies.Mostly these are produced in the Netherlands, Belgium or FranceIts pretty good tobacco, different.
