Tabac De La Semois: Le Petit Robin 100g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-666-0003

Le Petit Robin is a different turn for Tabac Manil. For one thing, it's a blend where Manil's Semois Burley leaf is used as a condiment, and for another it's a very fine shag cut. The other leaf making up the bulk of this blend is something Vincent keeps secret, but we can say that the results are a lightly sweet, dry flavor in a smoke that still packs the earthy and floral complexities of pure Semois — just in a more subtle arrangement.

Product: Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin 100g
Everything you have read about this tobacco is true; it will surely redefine excellence within your realm of personal tobaccos. It’s perfectly settled in its gold brick, ready to be smoked, but I still opt to dry it for about 10 minutes. The wrapping... Read More

Product: Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin 100g
Now here is a blend that caught me unawares. Having smoked close to forty blends over the past decade, I was not expecting something to redefine what a pipe tobacco can be. Yet that is precisely my impression of Le Petit Robin. As others have noted,... Read More

I love burleys, and this, while not a burley in the truest sense of the word, is absolutely exquisite. Light and refreshing, but still very satisfying. It's a very fine shag cut, so you have to pack it very tight otherwise it shrinks to nothing when ... Read More
Love the Shag
March 09, 2018
Product: Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin 100g
I love the shag cut! It looks like kiseru style of tabacco smoked in Japan. The taste and aroma is very similar to La Brumeuse, yet somehow different. I can't quite put my finger on it. But it's excellent, nonetheless! And it is stronger than La Brum... Read More

Product: Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin 100g
Others have addressed the cut, so I won't belabor how fine it is. Suffice it to say, it is very finely cut. More so than even I had expected. Like a fine moss, or a dust bunny. And dry, very dry, like a fine tinder for starting a campfire. But I th... Read More

Product: Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin 100g
A shag cut with long filaments of angel hair. Yes, exceptional in presentation. All leaf, not a stem in the bag. Flavorful blend with a bit of sweet oriental. Balanced, masterfully done. It does burn fast, this is a sipper blend but still no bite if ... Read More

Product: Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin 100g
This is an extremely fine cut shag blend that is fairly dry due to the packaging. My first sniff noted a slight tea aroma which I noticed in another blend I once sampled... I believe it was Pete's Sherlock Holmes. The charring light produced a burst ... Read More

The extremely fine shag cut is very conducive to an excellent burn with little to no relights. The taste is quite grassy with undertones of that nutty, sweet and earthy Semois flavor. Not too strong but full flavor. Makes for a good quick and deli... Read More

Surprising blend

Product: Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin 100g
This one I like when I want a slow smoke. Packing tight and sipping slowly will yield some surprising flavors. I like it in a smaller bowl. Great choice for a churchwarden. Just remember that shag cut gets hot in a hurry if you puff too fast. A nice ... Read More

Honestly it just didn’t work for me at first. It’s something I came back to a couple of times a year and now that I “get it“ I can’t get enough of it. Definitely something that grows on you and don’t be surprised if you don’t enjoy your first puff or... Read More

This stuff is fantastic, but it takes adjusting your usual approach to appreciate and enjoy. Presented neatly in its cube, it is meant to be very dry. Pack it tightly, smoke it slowly, and you'll be treated to an extremely mild and enjoyable blend.... Read More

Update Oct. '22: Sadly, I've come back to reduce the rating from 5.0 to 3.0 based on my second purchase of LPR. This run lacks the subtle complexity of the previous brick and instead is one-dimensional, even somewhat harsh and bitter starting one-thi... Read More

A lovely and unusual thing indeed. The cut is extremely fine, more so even than most cigarette tobacco. It burns clean and remarkably cool, needing hardly any intervention from tamp or cleaner. The top of the bowl is dry and almost Kentucky-like, ... Read More

The flavor and retrohale of this blend are excellent. It's fine shag cut is perfectly suited for a slow even burn to allow those aspects to be fully enjoyed. As with all Tabac Manil blends, it's dry, but doesn't burn too fast or hot, as long as you p... Read More

Product: Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin 100g
This is my first tobacco from Tabac Manil and I'm glad I gave it a try. This is a very toned down Burley, meaning it's not harsh or bitey like Burley can tend to be. It didn't come as dry as everyone makes it out to be, it's the cut that makes it see... Read More
