Tabac Manil

From tabac-semois.com:
"The tobacco Semois manufactured with the utmost attention by Vincent Manil, traditional and 1OO% traditional way is to pipe or rolling. It is available in large cut: the misty, medium: the reserve of the pattern, fine: flower of the country. Made from the Semois planted in the valley, we guarantee you a natural tobacco."​

From thepipeguys.com, original importers of Manil Semois:
"Le Petit Robin may just be the most unique and flavorful tobacco in the world… and no, that’s not hyperbole. Named after Vincent’s son Robin, Le Petit Robin is Tabac Manil’s first ever blend and the first ever tobacco mixture containing Semois leaf being used as a condimental tobacco. The bulk of the blend is a not-too-sweet blond that Vincent had been tinkering with for over a decade. He eventually tabled the recipe for several years, but now its finally being released for all to enjoy! The blend contains 30% Semois, but good luck getting the contents of the blond portion from Vincent… he’s not talkin. The hay-like sweetness of the blond perfectly balances and mellows the sharp floral, mineral, and cigar like Semois leaf. Packed tightly, this dry, shag cut blend smokes wonderfully without any need to relight. Le Petit Robin is a masterpiece."​

Really love it, great car smoking blend in a shag with little fuss if you pack it tight enough and has that nice burly kick
