Nice light English blend
June 22, 2018
Product: Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot 1.5oz
I smoke a fair amount of English, but I started out with aromatics. My tastes run the spectrum. Donald T introduced me to this blend. I believe this was one of those that surprised me. The pouch note was nice. The room note was similar to an aromatic... Read More
(maybe the black cavendish). This blend was nicely balanced and had a slightly sweet, smokey taste, with a bit of spiciness that won me over quickly. It seemed to be similar to that of John Bull with a little more kick to it. All things said, this is one to have handy, if you can get it. It seems to be on back order most of the time. Read Less
Never leave an American tobacco behind.

Product: Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot 1.5oz
I've been smoking a bunch of English blends lately...I guess I can go ahead and cancel that appointment with the shrink. If you are a fan of Latakia blends, nothing compares to that quintessential taste. I reviewed Peterson's Wild Atlantic not long a... Read More
go, when I really should have done this review first. American Patriot is very similar to PWA, but is the clear winner of the two. It's a bit stronger in flavor than Wild Atlantic but still fits nicely into the all-day English variety. Missouri Meerschaum's blends have a better price tag too. American Patriot is a great EDC tobacco. It's not too strong, not too weak, has good mechanics, and an awesome flavor for such a middle-of-the-road English. If any of you have had John Bull Royal English, American Patriot has that great bold Latakia flavor without the glycerol sweetness. So, it is a lighter English blend that still has a ton of flavor you crave. Is it a meal? No. Is it a good snack to tide you over? Definitely. The only downside is the availability and that's a big one. For some reason when it's out-of-stock, it stays that way a while. I hope it's not discontinued? I'm probably just being paranoid after the McClelland and Dunhill news. Maybe, I should keep that appointment after all? Read Less
Simple pleasure

I tried this after reading the good reviews. It is fast becoming my go-to smoke. Very pleasant mild flavor with no bite at all. Really nice room note, too.
A Pleasant Surprise

I wasn't expecting much but it's a very good, well-balanced English blend. I found it dries out a touch faster than other blends 9or maybe I have too many tins on the go). Will order again.

Russ is a great blended, and he doesn't disappoint here.
A nice blend, interesting without being "complex". Smokes cool, sweet and dry to the bottom of the bowl easily without relighting and very little dottle left.

akia is the showcase, but honestly I found it to be sublime, not over-whelming at all. You can taste the Virginia, Turkish and Latakia - they all compliment each other without over-powering one another. And the top note - more of a tin note than a top note. Except for the initial light, I didn't really detect any of the bourbon. Maybe a bit in the aftertaste left behind, which is quite pleasant.
I've spent a lot more for much less of a smoke. This is a nice blend, and a real bargain. I am excited to try the "Country Gentleman". I'd recommend this blend for a try. It's better than the price would lead you to believe. Read Less
Tasty & Portable

Product: Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot 1.5oz
It came ready to smoke right out of the pouch. I really like that I can stuff a pouch in my pocket and go, & it's a great summertime English with a top note that doesn't overwhelmed the tobacco. Nice to have a pouch that tastes like a tin. I will... Read More

Its more than i expected. I use Corn Cobs of MM and i wanted tasted the tobaccos from MM and it's been great!, good taste, easy smoke, burns right(not fast, not slow) and doesnt leave a bad aftertaste if you smoke a normal bowl(i mean one of 1.40 inc... Read More
h of chamber depth), but if you would like smoke with large bowl(2 inch chamber depth)maybe the taste change close the end of smoke and that is not precisely good than before. This tobacco will be part of my cellar for long time! Read Less
Stick this in your cob and smoke it!

Product: Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot 1.5oz
Russ made this one specifically for cobs. I smoke briars so when I switch to cobs, I taste corn and that can ruin my favorite blends. This is just what I want in a cob, a blend that works with it. The burley is tolerable, it's an easy smoke and will ... Read More

Surprisingly Different
March 23, 2019
Product: Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot 1.5oz
When you first smell this tobacco it has the very smokey notes that leave you wondering what is in the bag. Then you light it and realize that everything you thought was about to happen is out the window and the experience you're on is nothing short ... Read More
of a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed this blend with a whiskey roast coffee which led me to try a bowl with a glass of Jack Daniel's and it could be my new favorite combination. The Jack eats the little bite that there is right out of the tobacco and the tobacco sweetens the jack and really sets off the full flavors of the charcoal mellowing process of the whiskey. I am a simple man when it comes to tobacco. Each blend sends me to the cabinet to find its liquid companion and if you're a fan of whiskey or bourbon, this is definitely a blend for you! Cheers!

I "inherited" a Savanelli pipe and decided to get something new to smoke in it. Never been outside of drugstore tobacco and am fairly new to pipe smoking, but this is as good as anything I've ever tried, including any cigar I've ever tasted. Smokes... Read More

Memphis Pipe Club Review

Product: Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot 1.5oz
From Rich:
This tobacco is like sipping whisky by a campfire. I knew I was in for a treat when I opened my package from Smoking Pipes; the contents all smelled of smoky Latakia. Definitely not your average pouch blend. With a light balance and well ... Read More
rounded taste, American Patriot has dethroned Frog Morton as my everyday smoke. My only (very minor) complaint is the pouch: the tobacco was a bit on the dry side. I look forward to Missouri Meerschaum offering their blends in bulk. In the meantime, a quick cellaring of the tobacco works just fine. Enjoy! Read Less
