Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot is a highly unusual type of blend to find in a pouch. This is a Latakia-based blend, enhanced by quality Virginia leaf, and the exotic influence of Turkish Smyrna, with just a touch of Burley for excellent burning characteristics. A light top note of Kentucky Bourbon makes for a nice addition to the aroma but is undetectable in the flavor. For a superb value in an English-style blend, light up a bowl of American Patriot.
This hovers between 4-5 stars for me. I have been through a whole pouch and really enjoyed it. Great natural tobacco taste that has flavor and good impact. It is better than average in every way. The only strange thing both it is that it does seem to bite me every time towards the bottom of the bowl and I cannot quite figure out why. I smoke very slowly, and it doesn’t seem to burn hot…it is strange, but an acceptable price to pay for such great flavor.

Jul 27, 2022
I've been smoking a pipe on and off for the last fifteen years and this blend reminds me so much of McLelland's Frog Morton On The Town. Maybe not as strong but, a VERY pleasant reminder of years past.

This is an excellent blend. A nicely balanced English with just the right amount of Bourbon topping. It fills the same spot as Frog Morton Celllar had in my rotation. I wish I could get it in bulk... The pouches are handy, but but this is good enough that they don't seem to last long ;)

Having been fortunate enough to have had some old Frog Morton’s Cellar recently, this tastes pretty dang close. Smoky and sweet! If you miss Frog Morton this is cheap enough to try out, and if you disagree with the comparison I can assure you you’ll still like this blend!

No disappointment here!
Jul 26, 2021
This tobacco was a great reintroduction to pipe-smoking for me, after taking several years off. Recently, my stress levels had been really high, and I remembered how relaxing it used to be to smoke a pipe now and then. I ordered a pouch of this along with a Missouri Meerschaum Huck Finn pipe...the perfect combo, it turned out.
This tobacco reminded me of why I became an almost exclusively English tobacco smoker back when. Very mild and great mouth feel. Lots of good, cloudy smoke, with little-to-no tongue bite. Burns all the way through the bowl with few re-lights, if any. Quite satisfying.
I live alone, so room-note is not so much an issue, and I almost exclusively smoke outdoors on my front porch. Besides, to me, the latakia smells rather pleasant. Much better than any predominantly burley or Virginia blend I have tried.
MM tobaccos were not even available when I last smoked a pipe, but I was excited to try one, and this did not disappoint. I will almost certainly buy again. I can highly recommend to anyone who likes a mild latakia blend.

Need a BULK option for this fine aromatic English blend
May 28, 2021
Can someone tell MM to release this in a bulk version instead of just pouches?? This stuff is an amazing aromatic English blend that is worthy of bulk purchases for cellar stock. It's smooth and smells great. Just hate having to buy and empty pouches to get a decent amount.

Approachable and great value English Aromatic blend!
Jan 05, 2021
Very solid value for an approachable yet nuanced English style blend. I have heard this was specifically blended for cobs, but I have found that it smokes just as well in a briar. I'm a growing fan of latakia, but if I had one thing to improve upon it would be that the Bourbon top note would translate to the flavor of the tobacco. As it smells great and subtle, there's really no discernable Bourbon taste.
Would certainly buy again and this has encouraged me to try other MM blends in the future!

A nice English style aromatic that is easy to smoke. My pipe emits large smoke clouds that are pleasant to my tongue and the room. The light Bourbon top note has a nice hint. This is a quality blended tobacco that I could smoke all day.

Frog Morton Contender!?!?!?
May 16, 2020
After watching a YouTube video where is was compared to McClellands Frog Morton Cellar, I was intrigued. While never having tried Frog Morton, I know it was and remains a favorite of many pipe smokers. The video said this was as close a replacement as the person had found. So I order 2 to try. Let me just say, it is awesome! From the first light it smelled good, taste great and stayed well lit. It smoked very cool and dry with no tongue bite. The whiskey overtone made my wife day, that smells good. I have tried Margate and Pembroke. Before trying this Margate was my favorite of the English blends I had tried, however, I liked this even better. All the flavors are evenly balanced. The Latakia is perfectly balanced, this is an excellent tobacco and at this price I’ll be sticking up my cellar for sure. Clearly an all day smoke! Well done MM!

I've tried all four of the Missouri Meerschaum blends and I have never been disappointed! American Patriot is no exception! This is a mild, well blended, cool, easy smoking, and satisfying American/English blend that is not Latakia heavy! I truly enjoy this blend and it's in my regular tobacco rotation!

Good smoke
Oct 21, 2017
I got my first pouch and loved it, so I bought more. On the second batch I received I picked up a hint of something like a perfume taste? Subtle but enough to turn me off. So it went into a jar and set aside. Some months later I came back around to it and the perfume like taste was gone so I'm not sure where it came from or where it went but for the rest of my second order of this tobacco it burned very well with very few relights. The flavor was on the mild/medium level with a smoky flavor similar to a campfire type smoke and a hint of leather are the major taste profiles with the room note nearly identical. Very good mouthful and very satisfying, wouldn't mind a little cheaper and in bulk. Overall a very rewarding smoke and definitely worth a try.

Aug 21, 2017
I'm used to more mild, fruity blends, so American Patriot was a little heavy for me...at first. The aroma is strong and complex without being obnoxious, and the flavor hits much much smoother after a few puffs and allowing the palette to adapt. I haven't finished the pouch I bought yet, but when I do this will be a contender to buy again.

Great pouch tobacco. Nice fine ribbon cut and a go to for me when I can't figure out what I want to smoke. Scratches all the itches for a Latakia fan while the Smyrna and bourbon topper gives it a nice smooth finish. Really good tobaccos for this price! Not quite an English and definitely not an aromatic. Kind of a lighter version of Bengal Slices just not as sweet or smoky. I am always happy with this tobacco when I break it out. Smoke it out of a cob, sit on the porch with some sweet tea or get to work in the garage with this tobacco and you're loving life!

Very serviceable indeed
Dec 31, 2016
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this blend to be honest, given the product description. What appealed to me were the many favorable customer reviews and the low price. And it also had the disadvantage of arriving in a shipment that included the wonderful McClelland Cyprian and just one day after I received a gift of the extraordinary Margate; that is pretty stiff competition. Comparatively, no contest, but I did smoke it exclusively one early evening and it is actually quite pleasant. No one leaf dominates the mix, it's more like "latakia light". Room note, or in my case "garage note", was pleasant and it burned very evenly and with minimal bite. I would say it is a very serviceable blend that one could enjoy while doing another task but it will not occupy a place on the list of favorites.

American Patriot
Dec 24, 2016
I am not a pipe tobacco connoisseur and my tastes are pretty simple. I like burley tobaccos (Sir Walter, Granger) and English blends. I don't know where American Patriot falls on the spectrum, but I really like this tobacco. It has a bit of an English taste to me, but the aroma is something else. There's a nice sweetness to it that is not overwhelming. It's a good burning tobacco; slow burning but keeps lit. This is not a fancy tobacco like Rattrey's or Dunhill, but an everyday tobacco that never gets boring. I would recommend this tobacco to anyone.

Smooth and Mild. Not a strong tobacco. I don't like aromatics. But, I like this one. I think that a whiskey blend with latakia is the best way to describe this blend. It ranks at the bottom compared to english blends. Compared to liquor aromatics, it sits at the very top.

Interesting, My first Latakia blend.
Oct 13, 2015
So this is a Latakia blend? I am not sure what I was expecting. From my limited knowledge this is a very good blend. Nutty burley an the edge of mild virginia sweetness. Currently in my first few puffs and I am enjoying this with a morning cup of coffee. I cant lie the bag note had me tuned off. but the flavor of the smoke is far less intense then I would have thought. I am a natural backy smoker i like this blend a lot. it reminds me of those early in the year camping trips and the smell of my coat when I get back from said trip. not my favorite but i almost never like my first bowl of any backy, only problem i am having on any of this MM backy is keeping it lit. On a side note I made some Latakia myself to see if it was at all possible in my smoker and I must say i think i hit the nail right on the head mine is more resinous in the bag but very very good as well.

This was ok for me, if it was cheaper I would probably buy more for working outside the house or when fishing, as for the bourbon, I think they just showed the bottle to the tobacco and that was it, none noticeable at all.

**** Second Review **** I echo those that believe this blend should be sold in bulk, 8 oz tins, pound bags, etc. This is one of my absolute favorite blends. I'm not a super big fan of English or Balkan or sweet aromatics, but I like a few of each. American Patriot is the best blend I've had that seems to mix the best of all 3. I'll be voting for the Presidential candidate that promises 2 lbs of MMAP in every household !!!

LF of Tempe, AZ
Very strong, too much latakia.
HF of Wyandanch, NY
As a newish piper, this was my first tobacco with Latakia, and if it's any indicator, I'll be exploring that path for a long time. It's a great one for a first-timer. Seems like the perfect amount of Lat, smells like the great outdoors, a more agreeable room note than you might think, a very nice flavor, and is great exhaled through the nose. Too many English-style blends out there to try for me to be able to say when I'll buy more of this, it could happen and I'm glad I tried it.
JP of Bakersfield, CA
Making my move to non-aromatics and English blends (my pipe adventure is about eight months old - though piped in college long ago). Bought a wonderful selection to sample and this is #1. An easy introduction. The Virginia and burley are very identifiable and pleasant. The Turkish adds a good complementary blend with the Latakia. The Latakia is woodsy, smoky and a completely under control pleasure. If my other samples keep up with this experience, my English foray will be an absolute pleasure.
JB of Ladonia, TX
May have to let this one age..right now I just think there are better english blends.. a little aging will tell.

True to it's name, American Patriot is a citizen you can depend on. I can see this being a primary go-to smoke. Stays lit, good room note, no complaints.

This blend is good. Its sweet and smokey and you could smoke it anytime of the day. Just try it. Its a quality blend for cheap. What else can you ask for. Its perfect for aro and non aro smokers

RD of Sun Valley, CA
This is great stuff !! I'm always curious about new brands and have been disappointed when I open a tin and it smells like the end of a baboon, or the perfume my grandmother used to bathe in. This is a good, honest tobacco. It's mild on the tongue and has a knock out flavor; this could be my new "go to" blend. Nice work Missouri Meerschaum
DM of Carmel, NY
A nice surprize. Very mild english, great for the morning and you can't beat the price. Give this one a try.
TD of West Glover, VT
This came in my "Pipe tobacco of the month club" shipment. I didnt think i was going to like it because it had Latakia, but i was wrong. This stuff tasted sweet and creamy with a hint of smokiness. I cant even tell you how much I enjoyed this. Im going to make this a common smoke for sure. WOW!!!
MM of Sumrall, MS
It's very good but it bites a little but all and all I say give it try :)
NW of Statesville, NC
Great tobacco and not a Latakia bomb at all very creamy in flavor.
AR of Mission Viejo, CA
Very good blend. Smooth, mild spice, and hint of smokiness. It's a blend to be reckoned with amongst other much higher priced blends. P&C has outdone themselves on this one. I wish it was sold in bulk.
