Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve 4oz
I have yet to try the original blend, though I intend to soon, but I jumped on the opportunity to get the special reserve whole it was available. Upon opening the tin several months ago I was greeted with a pungent vinegar aroma that was dominant. ... Read More
I've heard of companies using vinegar as an antifungal agent, so I'm leaning towards that being the reason as it was a thick, dark and moist cake. Similar to deception pass in that regard. Both need considerable decanting time to truly enjoy the smoke. When smoked fresh it did irritate my mouth, so decant I did, opening my jar every few days to let it breath. Fast forward 6 months. Now we're talking. The vinegar smell has dissipated almost entirely and I get a rich Latakia and sweet virginia aroma. After loading a fat pipe I sit back to enjoy and I'm not disappointed. What greets me is a unique blend of Virginia, latakia, and perique in near perfect harmony. I can taste each ingredient individually, but it is so masterfully blended and married that none of the ingredients overpowers the next. Sweet and smoky Latakia is present but not overwhelming, and the perique is there to lend some dark fruit and spice, but the high quality virginias are the ties that bind MR. There is another blend out there with a similar flavor profile but I can't recall it, and honestly that says something about MR. Plum Pudding will always be the crown of my collection but Mississippi River special reserve earned a spot in my rotation for the foreseeable future. Time to stock up. Read Less

这个草买到手最好还是要放进瓶子里静上半个月最好，斗温很高，草比较湿，需要醒草的时间较久，但也不要醒太干，否则风味会减少。瓶塞法抽的时候不宜太急，略微打井也不用怕，冷火慢抽清甜的味道非常的迷人，抽急了会很酸且辣舌。这是一款很值得尝试的英氏调配，清甜的味道真的很迷人，需要一些抽吸与装草的经验，我是一个比较嫌麻烦的人，所以给了4星

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve 4oz
Sweet sugary Virginia with some earth taste and some citrus in the background. The perique offers some spice with raisin and fig notes. The Cyprian latakia and Oriental add a sweet, musty, smoky woodiness with a slight sour hit here and there. Absolu... Read More

Sweet and Smoky

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve 4oz
This was my first Seattle Pipe Club blend and it was an amazing experience. A perfect mixture of sweet from the virginias and smoky from the latakia. I highly recommend this blend!

Really looking forward to seeing how this ages. Truly a great blend, and smoke.

Tin note of sharp vinegary, mildly sweet fruit and spices. Tobacco is a 1-inch wide Krumble Kake of dark brown and brown with a little back and tan. Moisture content is ok, most pipe smokers will want to dry this out a bit. Kakes break apart and rub ... Read More
out easily. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and very consistent, with notes of tart citrus, floral, spices, musty herbal vegetation, wood, orange peel, mildly smoky, tangy sweet dark fruit, sugared raisin, savory, dry earth, sweet bread, spicy, a semi-sweet lemon grassy background note, and a very peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Latakia, Oriental/Turkish and Perique supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less
Exceptional Va/Per Blend
July 24, 2022
Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve 4oz
Different than most other Seattle Pipe offerings in that it doesn't feature latakia prominently, I've found the rare oriental leaf used as condiments for this blend puts it a notch above the regular Mississippi River expression, which is already quit... Read More
e a nice blend. Sweet, deep virginias and fruit-driven perique combining to make captivating and complex experience. I give this tobacco my highest recommendation!! Read Less

Tried the Plum Pudding Special Reserve. Loved it, so I tried this one as a flyer. Been smoking a bowl after supper. Revisited this after eightweeks in the humidor. Went for some robust snorkeling as it wasn't burning my nose. This has improved and bl... Read More
ended with a small time in the humidor. Picking up some honeysuckle notes mid bowl that make my mouth water. On a rapid triple snorkel it did sting a tad, but that rasin bread note was great and worth it. This is my dessert, and far less calories than ice cream. Deeper down I hit a mocha deep bass note. Excellent smoke! Read Less
Oriental Forward English Blend

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve 4oz
A very pleasant English blend. This blend is similar to Plum Pudding. The big difference is the forward position of the oriental tobacco in Mississippi River. The Orientals make is blend lighter, accompanied by notes of toast and hazelnuts. Very nic... Read More

Just straight LOVE this one. Which is interesting considering I can't stand any of the other Mississippi River blends nor its sister pudding blend.
Thick, rich, sweet strong tobacco that just had to be tried to be believed. Epic!
Overpriced and Underperforms

Maybe my level of sophistication as these higher reviews. It is tangy. I think the price is too high for 4 oz
Smooth and tasty

Product: Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve 4oz
In my ever ending love for a Latakia I thought I would try this and I was not disappointed. It is so smooth and rich the room notes are nice and the burn is nice of you let it dry out a bit 10-20 mins as it comes very wet but read to put in a mason j... Read More
ar. The tin note is sweet and almost cake or fruit like. Comes in a semi hard plug. Easy to rub out. I have found that most Latakia Blends go great in churchwardens. As they are already a cool smoke this enhances their flavor, separating anything that is mixed with them giving it a greater complexity and makes it almost like flavored air. Read Less

I have been a longtime lover of Plum Pudding. It has been one of my top five tobacco blends for quite awhile. I just recently got around to pulling the trigger on Mississippi River and decided to go for the Special Reserve. Let me tell you, straight ... Read More
up, this stuff is awesome. The Virginias in this blend are incredible, some of the best I have ever smoked, and I believe a portion of them were very carefully stoved until black. Compared to Plum Pudding, it seems to me that the Virginias are obviously up front, the Perique is where you would expect the Orientals to be and the Latakia is in the background, lending the blend that smoky richness. The Orientals are aged bringing in that fragrant touch with a bit of butteryness. It’s just damn good tobacco harmoniasly blended. Rich, dark, and smooth with tons of flavor. Read Less
