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.
Muddy, chunky, beautiful

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.

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

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
If you like Perique This Is For You
August 16, 2019
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.
Not boring

If your looking for a blend that doesn’t require any guess work in what’s in it, this is for you. A few pounds jarred up now.
Good tobacco.

It is a good tobacco, But i think Gaslight is a little better.
Can't stop lovin it....

Pulls me closer with every smoke.....I've tried to love others but it's no use....She's strong but kind, smooth but forcefully holding me tight, burns well into the night chasing away the dreams of others.
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
Perfect amount of Perique
May 15, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
Pretty smooth, no bite, burns well, a little past medium nic content, and full flavored. This is a little one dimensional but it is a great one. Pretty much just smoky, leathery latakia and spicy perique but they are in perfect proportions. The ... Read More
BCav adds a little sweetness, body and keeps the latakia and perique from being overpowering. Very nice, unique change of pace for a full english smoker. 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
rshness if you over puff. You have to be careful with this one. As you smoke it through the bowl it mellows some what and takes on a more complex synergy. Read Less
Very spicy
February 04, 2019
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
Very peppery taste. Kinda strong , smooth until about halfway through the bowl. That's when the spiciness takes over. For me it's not a daily smoke but from time to time with a shot of bourbon it's pretty good. A tin will last me for a long while.

Grows on you

Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
It took me three or four bowls of this fine blend because I couldn’t decide if I liked it. But then I kept smoking it. In fact, it’s in my pipe as I’m writing this. Lat forward, cavendish cooled, and a fantastic perique tickle. Not terribly complex, ... Read More
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
An aquired taste

Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 8oz
Don't let my title fool you, this is my favorite smoke and my go to blend. It's name says it all! This is a dark, murky, smoky, spicy, smoke. All the components come together to give this blend a smooth and yet unusual flavor that just plain works. W... Read More
hile it is not a complex blend as others out there it is a blend that can simply be enjoyed without having to guess if you are tasting this or that. Do yourself a favor and grab a tin or two. Read Less

It has a very unique flavor. I like this but kajun kake is more like my taste. Sweet, earthy and creamy.
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

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

Kind of Odd, But...

Not your typical blend, but it is great stuff. Perique and Latakia wonderfully blended. YUM!
New Favorite
June 28, 2016
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.
Evocative, Dark, Rich, SIMPLE
February 16, 2016
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 8oz
Mississippi Mud is a tobacco that tells you everything about itself on the first date, and years later is still the blend you first met. It isn't very nuanced or unnecessarily complicated. It is dark, flavorful, smoky, earthy, and delightfully cool... Read More
and creamy. The unsweetened black cavendish sees to the mellowness and consistency from bowl to bowl, the perique gives it a slight oomph, and the latakia washes over you in a mild, broad way that you slowly sink into. It is absolutely, unashamedly one-dimensional overall, but a faithful, richly flavorful, and unusually satisfying blend. It will never be out of my rotation as long as they keep making it! If you like latakia and perique, and appreciate a smooth, creamy mouthful of earthy, flavorful smoke... jump onto the riverboat on the tin and sink into that delicious mud! Read Less
Surprisingly Flavorable

I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of flavor. Thanks to those who reviewed this. I purchased based on your comments and MM will be in my regular rotation.
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 2oz
When I first bought this blend I wasn't overly keen on it. I let it sit in a jar for a few months, always skimming past it when choosing what to smoke. Only tonight did I come back to it, and I have to say I'm enjoying it a lot more! It has a nice ch... Read More

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

Mississippi Mud and aging
October 08, 2013
Product: Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud 8oz
I smoked Mississippi Mud when I received my shipment on 5 April 2012 and it was okay at the time. Then I let it age for ~1.5 years and tried it again and what a difference! This blend seems to get better with age as the perique and Black Cavendish re... Read More
ally do come to the fore front. I did notice that I seem to get a more pronounced nicotine high initially and then a relaxed feeling as the bowl went on. I'll have to order more so I can cellar some more for longer and see the results. Read Less
