Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud Pipe Tobacco

I'm what I'd consider a novice pipe smoker, mostly only ever smoked cheap bulk pharmacy bags and mystery local shop aromatic blends, but recently started branching out and exploring all the variety pipe smoking has to offer. First I started with VA/per and home blends but then bought a few cans of other blends that sounded appealing, this being one of them. The smell was so odd upon opening, but very enticing and intriguing. It has such a creamy undertone almost like chocolate or coffee, and I think "mud" is so appropriate for the name. Just thinking about the smell and taste makes me crave a pipe and I find it so damn enjoyable. I like it much more than other latakia blends I've tried, which I also enjoy but this one really just stands out. One thing I noticed is the flavor changes/decreases towards the bottom of the bowl but picks up if you pack it down as you go. Perfect dryness and Im figuring out that I like it more packed tight.

Rather disappointed. Not nearly as complex as Quiet Nights. It is a smooth mellow smoke but rather bland. There is nothing really special that stands out for me.

Ok, this was a tricky blend I wasn't sure at first it gave a lovely salty flavor but followed with sweet it was peppery but not overly I loved it and you can just pack or rub out a little kinda brings more of the flavor out if you rub my opinion.

I try to always have a can of this around. Great flavor, non offensive room note and a decent nic hit. Great balance, I highly recommend.

I really like it for sitting on the front porch and having a smoke.

Do you like the smell of an old steam locomotive? You will love this tobacco. There is nothing like it here in Germany. Now that's my absolute favorite!

This is my 1st time trying this. None of the ingredients truly stands out but that is not a drawback. Smokes cool and efficiently. But most of all, it's like smoking a chocolate bar. This is definitely going to be in my rotation...FOREVER! Great service from tobaccopipes.com

This is an excellent Full bodied English blend. While I like Plum Pudding this is SO much better. This has quickly become one of my favorite tobaccos.

I'm not sure if it's because there are no Virginias and Orientals in this mixture or not, but I do know I really enjoy black cavendish, perique, and latakia. With that said, this blend or mixture is absolutely perfect for my taste. There is no need for me to continue sampling for that perfect English or Balkan blend any longer. I am thrilled with Mississippi Mud - It's perfect, I love it, love it, love it!
