About This Pipe Tobacco
A pipe tobacco developed by the inimitable Joe Lankford of the Seattle Pipe Club, Mississippi River Rum Barrel Aged is a version of SPC's popular Mississippi River blend. It's an English mixture of Latakia, Virginias, Perique, and Oriental tobaccos, but in this Rum Barrel Aged version, it's blended and then packed into oak rum barrels to age and for the tobacco to acquire the nuanced flavor of oak and rum — flavors well known and appreciated by pipesmokers. It's then pressed into cakes to help marry the flavors, contributing to the character of the fine English blend, before being cut into a crumble cake and packaged into two-ounce tins for flavorful convenience, each tin included with an rum barrel stave to preserve the flavors.

Sweet, Tangy and Smokey

y. It's quite assertive in flavor, but the body is kind of dank, which suggest a bit too much cavendish. This is for those who like a sweet, rum or bourbon infused, latakia supporting flavor. It's not one I want to smoke while doing chores, but rather to just sit and enjoy. *1/14/25: Jarred, this dried out and I'm perplexed. It shouldn't have dried. The sweetness and tartness are now very subdued, and all that's left is a rough, semi-tart spiciness. This would suggest an added sugar rather than natural sweetness, which also indicates a poor-quality leaf for this style mixture. Nicotine is 2 out of 5 - not too strong but satisfying....Read More

extra relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is mild, with notes of Rum. Rum quite strong upon initial lighting, then drops to the background. There also seems to be a tangy fruitiness that is quite strong throughout the smoke that seems to be attributed the rum barrel aging. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with complex notes of sweet tangy dark stewed fruit, sugar, mild smoky, sour zesty citrus, bready, musty wood, dry, savory, slight herbal, earthy rich, floral, slightly acidic, spicy, a spices and tart raisin background note, and a peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Perique and Flavoring supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Always better than I recall

I come back to this blend every few weeks and I always wonder why I don't smoke it more often. Then I forget about it again. It's good, but I don't know that it's worthy of a name with so many syllables.

This has been a wonderful smoke over several tins I have a few cellared now and will order one every few orders or so to put away. The rum stands out but not too much so it doesnt hide the tobaccos, it does have some fairly spicy notes to it. I do enjoy it on over all a truly great blend

Where’s the flavor?

Strong rum aroma from the tin. It’s a smooth smoking tobacco, but literally becomes flavorless after a few centimeters into the bowl.
