Was lucky enough to get a box of Semois Bouchons

Post by DeflictedPipes »

I smoked one last night and it was fantastic. The draw was smooth and cool like a calabash and that really allowed the flavors to stand out more than loose leaf in a bowl. It was strong, and made me dizzy at about bowl level, which generally doesn't happen to me. I was likely smoking too fast since it was so cool and tasty. The flavors were typical Semois: lightly floral and earthy, with some nice chocolate notes coming in when it reached bowl level. Very enjoyable!

Funny little box they came in, normally they come in cardboard boxes. Seems Vincent has upgraded!

Speaking of these little fellers......My husband has given me an order to take a bunch of mine to the show and "make some friends". It seems that the two boxes I have in his humidor are taking up too much room and he wants more cigars.
Am I Calamity Jane or Annie Oakley??...depends on the day.

There was a good bit of interest in these on the reddit cigar forum http://www.reddit.com/r/cigars. I'm sure you could get your hubby some really nice cigars in trade for these if you were up for such a thing. The guys on the pipe tobacco forum http://www.reddit.com/r/PipeTobacco were even more interested. If you need help navigating/interacting with reddit let me know.
