Mississippi River.
December 27, 2015
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 8oz
Im not gonna get all snobby.. if you like good tobacco..then you will probably like this. If you smoke stronger tobaccos, you will find it very mellow, yet pleasing and flavorful. It took me a while to understand Virginia, and im used to the way Mccl... Read More
elland does Virginia. That being said, this is totally different, flavorful, but at the same time, leaves you wanting more at the end of the a bowl. The tin note smells like Hickory Smoked Bacon.. really sexy hickory smoked bacon...Its not fair to call it a Virginia though.. it has so much more going on.. The Orientals and perique fight with each other, and the Lat is hanging out in the back, just chillin; letting you know every couple of sips, that its still there.. Its great stuff. Read Less
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
Very nice, rich English blend with excellent balance. Full-bodied, with plenty of Latakia. There are figs in the tin nose which transform into dark chocolate on the palate. Not for the faint of heart, this is a robust blend which should satisfy even ... Read More
the most jaded of English fans. The crumble cake rubs easily into fine chunks which pack and light easily. A bit lighter in character than Plum Pudding, but not to detriment. Read Less
Tasty light-up, hyssop, rocket popsicles, cedar
November 22, 2017
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
Leathery shoes out of the tin, bit of mint. Tasty light up out the nose... hyssop. (did not rub out entirely - rub out smooth and easy). Bit of feminine perfume, made me sneeze...twice...then, thrice.

Solid blend
November 26, 2018
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
It's not my favorite (especially at this price point), but it's a good blend. It's definitely an English, but lighter on the Latakia and maybe a little heavier on the Perique. It's tangier and spicier than a lot of other English blends out there. ... Read More
Pack it lightly and smoke it slowly to keep it burning and from getting too harsh, and it will do you well. Worth trying at least once. Read Less

Mississippi Mud

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
Perhaps the mildist and blandist tobaccos I have ever packed in a pipe.If I strained my palate I could say there was the faintest hint of chocolate. Not worth the effort to puff on in my opinion.
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
Great smoke, full of flavour too! Really nice English blend you'll enjoy right out of the tin.
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
Slow cool burning with sweetness from real tobacco.

My personal favorite

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
I really like this tobacco. It has somewhat of a sour taste going on that I really enjoy and is unique. I could see not liking it, but man it hits the spot for me.

This blend became one of my fav. I bought all the special editions as well. The first time I smoked I thought I had to try another bowl. Once I smoked a couple more bowls, this blend really stuck with me. This blend pairs well with any beverage, incl... Read More

Solid Va/Per

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
Different than most other Seattle Pipe offerings in that it doesn't feature latakia prominently, I've found this to be a reliable everyday Va/Per blend with sweet, deep virginias and fruit-driven perique combining to make captivating and complex expe... Read More

Virginia with a pinch
January 03, 2022
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
My disclaimer here is that I am an English/Balkan smoker first and foremost. I do enjoy Plum Pudding and so thought Mississippi River would be a similar experience. I can honestly say that it is a great blend, however it is a great Virginia blend. I ... Read More
think labeling it as English does it a disservice. I understand the technical aspect that it includes Latakia and therefore… but from first to last light I felt I was smoking a Virginia blend. A very rich, creamy, smooth, fruity Virginia blend but if you are looking for an English I personally like SPCs Potlatch and WildMan better. Read Less
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
Tastes like Plum Pudding without the black Cavendish added, and probably is. Still good. I'm sure Mark Twain would approve.
Sweet tomatoes.
January 23, 2021
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
I really cannot get enough of this. It’s oh so sweet, tangy, fairly hickory and just perfect. Upon opening the tin you will be greated with a strong vinegar scent along with the Latakia, Virginia’s and Oriental’s. It’ll tickle yer nose. I kind of get... Read More
notes of a ketchup/vinegar like flavor upon lighting which I don’t like.. I LOVE. That will last about the first third of the bowl and then turn into a savory BBQ note. And it’s not an over powering blend yet pretty remains complexed. As far as I can tell it has remained consistent for the most part. I will definitely be stocking up on this one. Read Less

d tingle..Nic hit is just below medium to me...A good blend for VA tobacco blend fans.
Update..a few bowls later..I find that this blend changes character..I get more VA sweet at times then more Oriental incense..I'm enjoying this one and slow smoking is key to getting all the flavor from this one. Read Less

This tastes better than the actual Mississippi River, I guarantee it. A little sweet with a healthy dose of spice, it smokes nicely overall. Good room note.

om the perique. The orientals deliver a wonderful spiciness that doesnt fade while the latakia stays in the background but gives a steady smoky taste.
For a Balkan/English blend, this blend actually delivers a pleasant room note, which even the wife noticed. It has earned its place in my rotation. Any aficionado of English or Va/Per blends needs to at least give this blend a try. Highly recommended. Read Less

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 8oz
Although I didn’t buy this from the website I enjoy this blend. Retrohaling really lets me enjoy this mix. Mellow but very tasty mildly sweet and smoky. I smoked a lot of Dunhill blends and find this as a nice smoke in between bowls.

ng the thought of not having more of it. My favorite part about it is the latakia only shows up once in a while. I like latakia so its kind of like the prize in the bottom of the cereal box, but you get a few of them per bowl. Read Less

This is my favorite blend. I can smell hint of chocolate and taste is really for connoisseurs.
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River 2oz
I found this to be flavorless and boring. It was a tiny bit better than plum pudding but the same messy presentation and mediocre type of quality leaf. Not on par with other tobacco in this price range.
Delicious!
