Damn Good Stuff

Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
I got this about 3 weeks ago and it's been hard to pick anything else off my shelf to smoke. It's a great burning, great tasting smoke.
Seductive

Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
As the tin states, an unusual blend. Not overly smoky or sweet with a nice peppery note. I think I am stuck in the mud and I like it.
Flavorfull and easy going

Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
I am relatively new to enjoying non-aromatic English blends with latakia.I do enjoy a strong tobacco which this is, but it is not so complex or nuanced that you have to be an expert to appreciate it. If you are a wine drinker, it reminds me of the n... Read More
ew style of red blends from California. Bold flavors without fancy pedigree. I have some fancier choices that can wait in the cellar until my pallet is more sophisticated. In the meantime this is a definite re-buy. Read Less
Muddy, chunky, beautiful
November 02, 2018
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
When I ordered this, I was pretty excited. When I first started smoking a pipe, I wasnt the biggest perique fan. As my tastes have evolved, I have enjoyed it much more. This blend is latakia, perique amd unflavored black cav. The tin note is hard to ... Read More
describe. It has this inviting, "dark" scent. Its like you are inhaling the essence of darkness. Weird, but thats the best way I can describe it. When you light it up, the flavor is beautiful. It reminds me of a deep rich brownie in tobacco form. No flavor except rich, dark tobacco. Nice white clouds on exhale. The perique makes the back of my throat buzz a bit and to be honest, its wonderful. I highly reccomend this blend if you are on the fence. I am excited to see how this does with some age on it.

A Favorite!
October 09, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 8oz
I am a fan of Latakia and do not like a lot of spice. However, to me, this blend is great. You have the Rich Latakia, and the Cavendish seems to tone down the spice of the Perique and bring it all together. I am thrilled to find a blend where I can e... Read More
njoy the Perique without it being overpowering and it mixes well with the Latakia. So, for me, this blend is rich and a little spicy and sour from the Perique. In addition, after smoking quite a bit of this and for only having three ingredients, I am always surprised how the flavors seem to develop and come together all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Highly recommended. Read Less
Mississippi Magic
June 03, 2024
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
My tin of Mississippi Mudd arrived, and I immediately opened it. The tin note evoked notes of leather, earth/wood, and a subtle sweetness. I did not detect any latakia in the initial tin note. The tobacco itself is dark as the hinges of hell. No su... Read More
rprise given the tobacco blends that comprise this sublime mixture. This is the first tobacco that I could actually pick up individual flavors throughout. The sweet, almost chocolate/cocoa hints were easily present, and an occasional pepper/spice passed my palate several times. The latakia was mild as almost being imperceptible. This blend was an overall earthy, fragrant smoke. I like this one a lot. It is unlike any other blend that I have smoked to date. A great, unique tobacco blend that does not easily compare to other blends I have tried. I do not intend to smoke this one every day, as it would cheat me out of a special blend variant which shakes things up a bit. Well worth the price of admission, and I will be buying more. Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
With a slight amount of Perique and Latakia the black Cavendish is really the star of the show here. Coffee and chocolate notes. Very smooth and mellow with a very slight hint of spice. I'll be buying a lot more of this here...

Mississippi Mud is the only tobacco I smoke out of my corn cob pipes for me it's a step back a blast from the past
Missing Something
January 10, 2022
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
It isn’t a bad smoke by any means but I feel it lacks in flavor and aroma. In my opinion it needs a pinch of Virginia to balance it out.
If you like Perique This Is For You

Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
This is a very enjoyable blend it packs a lot of pepper form the Perique but is balanced with the Latakia and Black Cavendish all in all a good after dinner smoke.
As Good or Better Than Most Balkans
May 25, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
What an outstanding Latakia blend...scrumptious! I haven't as yet finished the bowl but this stuff is easily judged with just one puff...it's that good. Since smoking the Balkan Sobranie OM & enjoying it to the max, I've been on a quest to find a goo... Read More
d Latakia blend that can compete with the great Balkans & English mixtures from days gone by...something that takes me back...& this one works. When one considers smoking a subsequent bowl, that's a sign of excellence. MM is a black/very dark, oily looking, ready rubbed blend that produces tons of creamy smoke. Tin note is similar to SPC's Plum Pudding...leathery, hickory smoked bacon, earthy, muddy, musty like an old horse blanket, smoky, sour & fermenty with a noticeable Latakia presence & the blend melds together well after one third of the bowl has burned off. Mississippi Mud... what a befitting name! The tin art is beautiful... incredibly nostalgic & takes me back to the reading of Mark Twain novels. If you're looking for an outstanding Latakia blend that is unique in flavor and reminiscent of the finer English/Balkan blends from yesteryear, look no further. Read Less
Mud made of gold!
February 11, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
Now I know why they call it Mississippi Mud, because it tastes like mud. But mud made out of gold. It is a mix between a very rich dirt and a cigar that has just been lit before all the oil begins to mellow it out. Not bad but strong with a slight ha... Read More

Helluva Smoke!
December 21, 2017
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
Right off the bat, the tin note is great. I couldn't stop smelling it. It almost reminded me of hot chocolate by a roaring campfire on a crisp autumn day. And the flavor is just as bold. Smoky and spicy with just a hint of sweetness. The addition of ... Read More
Cavendish gives it just a slight note of dark, bittersweet chocolate on the finish. Definitely keeping this one in my regular rotation. Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
This blend tastes similar to Frog Morton on the Bayou. It is however much heavier which is noticible in the large amount of smoke it produces as well as a full flavor and a luxuriously smokey room note. The black cavendish is very necessary and appr... Read More

Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
First it doesn't taste like river mud... don't ask. No tongue bite, no nicotine buzz and stayed lit. Great taste, some pepper note. The wife likes the smell and that is a great plus. Replacing Frog Mortons on my favorite list. Give it a try.
Bold Flavor
March 04, 2015
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
Mississipi Mud is my favorite smoke. Rich, savory flavor and, despite what I've read in other reviews, my wife didn't mind the room note a bit. This tobacco has a permanent place in my rotation. As the flavor tends to get better over time, even fro... Read More
m the beginning of a tin to the end, I'll probably build up a supply of this to cellar. Besides, a day without my Mud is, well, just not the day it could have been. Read Less

One of my absolute favorites. Very distinct, the Cavendish really ties this blend together. It's smooth, cool, smokey, minerally. A pleasure every time with very little room for failure.

lil bbq tangyness, dark stewed fruit, and slight sweetness! The smoke aroma and flavor are absolutely amazing! The smoky Latakia and spicy perique are working perfectly together!

I get a lot of sweetness. I don't get a lot of latakia smokiness. Mostly a chocolate type sweetness. It's good.

Tin note of smoky, sour, and slightly sweet. Tobacco is dark brown and black Coarse Cut. Tobacco is moist, but not wet. No drying or prep needed. Burns normal with few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is ... Read More
medium to full and inconsistent, with notes of smoky, cedar wood, dry earth, musty floral, overly toasted bread, mild sweet tart fruit, mild bitter dark chocolate and a mild peppery retro. Latakia is leading with the cavendish and perique arguing back and forth about who's the best supporter. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is ok. Read Less

Pretty good.

Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
It's not bad.
When I smoke it, I prefer to blend it with a touch of C+D Bright Virginia to make it really pop.
The name is no joke. Its definitely muddy and earthy on the palate.
Pretty good

Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 8oz
This stuff is pretty smooth and well blended. Nothing offensive about it and I can definitely understand how people who like black cavendish and Latakia would find this very enjoyable. So I pull the stuff down occasionally. Give it a try.

Packed With Flavor

Wonderful stuff. I’m not a huge Virginia fan so the lack of it is a plus. I don’t like strong tobaccos but I find this to be a perfect strength. I’ll be buying more.
Deep and brooding
July 08, 2020
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 8oz
This is a deep, dark blend with tons of character. I love how the unflavored cavendish adds a full, chewy, density to the smoke. It also adds a distinctive buttery flavor.
Not boring

but C&D rolled out another hit. It’s a tad on the ‘heavy’ side for me, meaning it’s not an ‘all day’ - but who knows? It’s currently in the top three of my rotation, so... Anyway, my next order will be an 8oz tin. Try it out! PS: if you enjoy this blend, be sure to try Pirate Kake - that’s a darn fine smoke! Read Less
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
It has a very unique flavor. I like this but kajun kake is more like my taste. Sweet, earthy and creamy.
