If unique is what you seek, look no further than Cornell & Diehl Mississippi Mud. This all-dark blend is certainly a departure from the norm by combining toasted black Cavendish with smoky Cyprian Latakia and zesty Perique. The result is a sweet and smoky blend with a round, mellow sweetness. Hard to classify, C&D's Mississippi Mud is a cool, very different blend that's great for a change of pace, but can also be an all-day smoke.
I just ordered 2 more 8 OZ TINS! I hope Cornell and Diehl don't stop making this stuff!
This is really good! The first time I smoked it, I didn't like it or the way it looked . Two days later, I gave it another try. It was somewhat better tasting, the more I smoked it the better it got. I'm really glad I decided to give it another try. Turns out it has a really good flavor, not too hot! No bite. Now I smoke it the first thing every morning with my coffee.
I had been smoking Mississippi River for a while and thought I would dive a little deeper and try "The Mud". I was glad I did! Mississippi (gotta count those esses) Mud is a mild English blend that's never short on flavor and I don't think I could make it bite if I wanted to. I only have time for about 10 bowls a month and MM has made up six of the last 10. I keep thinking I should be smoking something else in my rotation but so far I haven't tired of this one. I like the sweet, velvety, slightly spicey-smoked flavor and the aftertaste is almost as pleasant as the smoke itself. I highly recommend Mississippi Mud, especially for someone wanting to break into the English realm.
I am partial to English tobacco, and while reading about different English blends I came across Mississippi Mud. When I ordered the blend it was back ordered but after patiently waiting it arrived. I lit a bowl and even before the bowl was half way gone, my wife was ordering 8 ounces. This is definitely a keeper, and will be in the cabinet from now on. Prior to finding MM I was partial to Philosopher and Proper English... I have ordered the last of those. MM has taken the top spot along with Yule Log and Drew Estates Meat Pie. If you like bold English, you need to order MM.
