Ah. I was thinking of the other snuff. But that works too.

If Stella could smoke a pipe I bet she would. Course it would have to be an elegant lady dog type of pipe but still .

Will do sir. I will give the puppy a belly rub for ya.

A friend dropped off some tobacco's I had not heard of. Bricks of Semois, Reserve du Patron and La Brumeuse. And I do mean bricks. 3.5oz in heavy gold paper wrappers. I opened the La Brumeuse and it is dry as it possibly could be. All thick cut and the color of cocoa. Burned hot and fast in a cob because it was so dry. I don't know how to describe the aroma. I was expecting a straightforward tobacco but this was smooth despite the heat and with a second cob and going much slower I liked it even more. Has a fair amount of nicotine and I really enjoyed it.

Apparently grown in Belgium in the Ardennes Valley by two brothers. Very interesting smoke from several perspectives. My only knowledge of the Ardennes is a part of the history
of the 101st Airborne Division of which I am an Association life member. Otherwise in Belgium I am only familiar with the American Cemetery where my wife's uncle is interred. I now wish I had visited the area.

Big article in the NYT about that stuff a few years ago. I reached out to a Belgian on the forum and asked if he would get a pound and send it to me. Of course I'd pay for it, and he said he would, but never did. I think he is against smoking but just didn't want to say so.

That is a great blend, I love the moisture it is perfect . That way I don't have to take two days to dry it out lol . Hope you enjoy it

Yes that Vincent Manil tobacco is on my need to try list for some time. From what I understand rehydration is not recommended. But tonight its just business as usual burning a big bowl of Elizabethan mixture in my Rattrays Canadian after work, scouring this forum.

Home from work and finishing a bowl of C & D Engine 99 in the craggily old work pipe (an old Castello 33 with the faux diamond), mug of milk and then to bed.
