About This Pipe Tobacco

A collaborative effort between Kyle Gellis of Warped Cigars and Jeremy Reeves of Cornell & Diehl, Midsommar is a limited release blend that comprises Canadian Bright Virginias from 2019, White Burley from 2014, and a combination of matured Basma and Izmir leaf. The blend is named in honor of the traditional European holiday Midsummer, which is most notably celebrated in Sweden and known there as Midsommar, a summer solstice celebration with roots that stretch back to the Neolithic era. Paying tribute to the history and spirit of these festivities, the blend exemplifies a rusticity and heartiness which marries bold, earthy flavors with the natural sweetness of its Virginias, all of which are unified by a subtle casing of rum and molasses. Pressed into a crumble cake cut that's primed for aging, Midsommar is a great way to complement a Summer's evening, though would be a perfect companion for any day of the year.

I don't get the nicotine strength, but I like bold blends. It's basically Briar Fox with nice Oriental twist. I think it really will benefit from a little age, but not deep cellaring.

I’ll admit that upon my first bowl of this right out of the tin I was a bit underwhelmed. I left it alone for a week or so and tried it again and it made a big difference. This blend imparts a wonderful summery earthiness I’ve not experienced yet in a blend. The most surprising quality was on the retrohale- I swear it’s like the scent of PETRICHOR! The essence of a gentle summer rain with the Virginia tobacco. I fail to get any of the rum flavor of aroma but it’s very pleasing upon the second bowl. Another fine blend from Warped....Read More
Lightly Christianized pagan holiday

I would call this more of a spongey plug than a cake. Some of the visible leaves are around 3/8" wide. I had trouble tearing it, so cut it. I get a slightly sour, lightly spicy woodiness overall, and can't really taste the toppings. I found it similar to Miskatonic Mixture, though the components are different. A smoother version of MM, which I really like. I'm reading August Derleth's The Trail of Cthulhu right now, so that's likely influencing my impression, which is that MM is to Midsommar as Lovecraft is to Derleth. This goes very well with a Sazerac cocktail. I probably should have gotten more than one tin. Addendum : I tried it with a 9mm filter, and didn't like it at all. Strongly suggest not using a filter. Second update 6/2025- I confirm Half-breed's suspicion- I'm just finishing the cake, and the rum is gone completely, the molasses is barely there, but it has mellowed a bit. Smoke it fresh if it's re-issued....Read More
One of my favorites

Product: Warped Midsommar 2oz
This blend really surprised me. I would say im an intermediate pipe smoker, having tried roughly 20 blends and trying to find what I like still. This was immediately one of my favorites I've tried. I got a really mellow savory citrus note that was extremely pleasant. This was one of the first blends that after smoking it I immediately ordered some more to make sure I dont run out anytime soon. Overall, highly recommend picking some up before its gone or picking up some similar blends....Read More
