[QUOTE="skaukatt, post: 324731, member: 67"] Well, here's a blow to my enjoyment... From another forum, here's some info regarding the BC Semois blend... BC Semois is made in Flanders and not in the Ardennes. It doesn't contain any semois tobacco at all, but is made from French style "tabacs bruns" (brown tobaccos) like wervicq and paraguay. So how then is it possible that this BC tobacco is labeled as semois ? Because the appellation "semois" isn't protected by law and consequently anyone can label any blend as semois. And, about the Windels Semois.. Windels semois is made by the same company in Flanders that produces BC semois. It doesn't contain any semois at all. So, it would apepar as though we in the USA will have to wait until Vincent Manil sqaures away his US distributor (happening now as per Vincent) before we can enjoy the real deal. Lou [/QUOTE]
