Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman represents a unique departure among pouch tobaccos. This blend features a mixture of premium bright and red Virginias, which is enriched with Perique, and a small amount of dark-fired Kentucky for body. This is a tobacco that would be at home in a tin with a higher price tag, but to befit bearing the Missouri Meerschaum name, it comes to you at an everyday bargain price. Enjoy the naturally sweet, and tangy character of Country Gentleman.
This is an excellent example of a flavorsome VaPer. I formally reviewed this in 2021 and my feelings stand true ... here is a citrus barn-like hay cast to the underlying Virginia base flavor that squares up brilliantly and evenly with the smoky spice of the DKF as both works together prevailing in the overall taste. The top accent notes of the varietal combination are particularly notable bestowing tones of brown sugar, ginger, and musty dark fruit from the lesser Perique. The matrix of flavor eventually tapers into the registration of black tea braced by the feel of the aftertaste of those cinnamon candies I loved as a child. Great Russ invention to say the least.

A Gentlemen with Teeth
May 01, 2023
Between this and American Patriot I could hardly decide. They are both such good and honest blends. Packed with flavor and perfectly priced. This offers a rewarding English experience and an all tobacco flavor that stays with you. I smoke slow and steady so the only drawback to this tobacco is a mild bite, but it is easy to overlook for the great consistent experience that this tobacco delivers.

I do like this M&M Country Gentleman. Smokes very well in my Missouri Meerschaum CG cob.
Mellow and smooth, an enjoyable non-aromatic smoke.

A light, pleasant blend. Burned a bit hot on first light but I also puff to fast. The Perique is just in the background which is nice. I only wish it was sold in bulk. Thank you. Dennis

Missouri Meerschaum tobacco, in general,
Jan 07, 2022
Missouri Meerschaum tobacco, in general, and in this case, Country Gentlemen is, in my opinion, the simplest, best tasting, properly grown and cured, well, just fine smoking and tasting tobacco. Out of a cob of course!

Not a choice combo
Nov 14, 2021
Pipe is essentially a toy. Both tobaccos are harsh but the anniversary Tin has such a good aroma that women are asking where they can buy some for their husband.

A solid, medium-strength smoke.
Jul 27, 2020
Smoked it in a corncob. No aroma here of course, but a solid smoke. Definitely stronger than your typical CB and Borkum aromatics, due to the dark-fired tobacco (Kentucky/Burley), i.e. low sugar, high nicotine. The Perique is almost undetectable, but I'm not an expert on that. No bite and it leaves ashes in the bowl, not a gooey mess. This tobacco might make for a good mix with a cheap mild bulk tobacco for the extra oomph.

Gentlemanly Indeed
Aug 29, 2019
I'll admit that I did not like it a first. I decided to try it again in my Corn Cob Pipe. I'm glad i gave it another try. I had wanted to try non aromatics to understand different flavors of the different tobaccos. Theres a natural sweetness to it in a non processed way. It produces a lot of smoke, which I like. A small hint of spice but not too much. I'm not discerning enough to mention which flavors come from which tobacco. If your looking to wean yourself off of Aromatics I would reccomend M.M. Country Gentleman as a good place to start.

Burns a little hot when dry, so moisten it a tad. Nutty, rich flavor and aroma;
satisfying and easy to like -- at least for me. Straight tobacco with a room note to beat any aromatic.

A little bitey at first. Definitely not an all day smoke. You should take your time with this tobacco and you will be rewarded with a nice cool smoke.

Smoking Country Gentleman in my Country Gentleman
Feb 18, 2019
I came for the supposed VaPer blend but stayed for the dark fired burley. I feel like the tobacco markets itself toward the Virginia Perquie crowd but it doesn't really belong. What you get get is a mellow dark fired Kentucky smoke that's sweetened with bright Virginia. I did not taste perquie. I was not disappointed though, in fact, pleasantly surprised and was rather happy with this blend.

Did a head to head comparison of two pouched Virginia perique blends.
Nov 22, 2017
so I did a little head to head comparison between this blend and Drexel VIII. Both were described as Virginia periques. While I was pleased with both blends this one did not stand up to the flavor profile that I expect from a Virginia perique. There's a tad bit more tongue bite than I'm used to and it is way too light on the perique.

Mild
Jan 12, 2016
My favorite of the four Missouri Meerschaum blends. The Virginia is smooth, sweet, and pleasant. Quite sure it's the same Virginia used in Missouri Pride. The Perique is almost non-existent, just the way I like it. The descriptions mentions Dark Fired Kentucky, but I can't detect it. This is not a strong tobacco.

Good Baccy, Bad packaging
Oct 11, 2015
I Am very happy with this blend. I packed my first pipe of it. Sitting with my first cup of joe, I must say it pairs well with the coffee. It is bitter but in a good way. Just an edge of bite (most likely from my smoking to fast) but none the less a pleasure in my Cobb. My only complaint is that i bought it in the sampler and they where packaged in the same bag, making them all smell strongly of Latakia. So i was not able to enjoy the bouquet of each one on its own. very displeasing to me as that is my most favorite part of a new baccy the bag or tin note.

Unique VaPer!!
Aug 14, 2015
Fantastic and unique VaPer! Sweeet Virginias and slightly peppery with a deep roasted flavor in the background from the noticeable dark fired leaf (reminds me of roasted marshmallows). The moisture from pouch was dry and ready to be tinned upon arrival. Packed lightly this blend burns without any problem whatsoever. Sip away my friends--fantastic tobacco!!

Loved them, pretty good smokes. When I get home from work i like to sit outside and have a good smoke. That's the best time to smoke these.
Customer Testimonials
Since I'm a County Gentleman, I smoked Country Gentleman in my Country Gentleman pipe, ha ha! This has a nice room note, some great tastes goin on in this blend, an every day smoke at an every day price, good all day. I highly recommend this tobacco and I'm going to try all the other MM offerings.
JG of Peoria, AZ
Country Gentleman tobacco in a Country Gentleman cobber, just plain delightful, I mean Deee Light Full ! wonderful flavor, wonderful burn, relaxing, what a good pipe tobacco is s'posed to be...
LF of Tempe, AZ
Very nice tobacco. It is a little on the strong side for my taste. (I usually smoke navy flakes and Mississippi River) Country Gentleman has good flavor and burns well. The tobacco did seem a little dry when first opening the pouch. Similar to the value offered by MM pipes (cobs are my favorite pipes) Country Gentleman is a good tobacco at a good price.
JW of Hazelton, ID
This is a decent smoke. It's closer to a medium full than mild medium. Smokes kinda hot, even in a semi-churchwarden cob, which wasn't what I expected. Smokes better in a briar in my opinion. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
MS of Frankfort, KY
Really nice tobacco, mellow and flavorful. Great value for the money and goes great in any of MM's pipes.
CT of Litchfield Park, AZ
Excellent and tasty blend at a fantastic price. I tried Great Dane, Country Gentleman, and American Patriot, and Country Gentleman has been my favorite non-aromatic of the bunch. Not as potent as something like Dunhill Nightcap, but rich and tasty nonetheless. Very happy with this blend.
TF of Lake Elsinore, CA
Some of the best tobacco I have had today. I didn't think it was going to be this good. 9 out of 10!
JS of Ellwood City, PA
Awesome tobacco this stuff is the best ever that I've smoked goes amazing in cobs, meershaums and briars too
AK of Scranton, PA
So my pouch of MM Country Gentleman came to my house the other day amongst other tobaccos- tinned or otherwise. I immediately went straight for the pouch, loaded a bowl in my, wait for it, Country Gentleman Missouri Meerschaum pipe, and then went to the porch to enjoy a smoke. It is truly one of the best blends with Perique that I have ever had the chance to indulge. The gorgeous black pepper-like taste marred with the sweetness of the other leaves really makes this an all day smoke for me!
