The MM Great Dane pipes are their take on Danish designs. When we wanted to make a tobacco with the same name, a Danish-inspired aromatic would be the best choice. This blend consists of steamed black Cavendish, Virginias, and white Burley, which have been topped with a smooth combination of a dark cherry, without the sharpness of the typical "maraschino" flavor, and warm notes of vanilla and caramel, for an easy-smoking blend.
I have a Great Dane so I had to try this and I was pleasantly surprised. The bag note is a dense mix of vanilla custard and werthers caramel with a touch of cherry. It smokes similar to that too, yet not too sweet that it’s gross. I like how the cherry isn’t over powering, just a nice touch in the background. It’s weird that the smoke is light yet thick if that makes any sense. This won’t be a go to for me but certainly nice to change things up. I recommend it.

One of my favorites. A flavorful smoke that does not bite or overwhelm my taste buds right after. I am a writer of Civil War non-fiction and Meerschaum is my favorite tobacco as I sit on the porch and work on my latest book. It’s like mood music for the other senses. It comes with my highest recommendation.

Your Wife Will Like This One
Sep 09, 2021
I smoke a lot of Five Brothers with the occasional English or Flake and wanted some light sweet cavendish with a touch of cherry to switch it up. This was perfect. Very mild, creamy smoke. The caramel and vanilla are right up front. The cherry flavor is subtle and not at all like cough syrup. Virginia and Burley help bolster the cavendish. No PG goop, nice and moist from the pouch. Pack a little looser until the pouch has a day to dry a bit. Probably one of your best bets in terms of an inoffensive blend for enjoying around sensitive noses. Really good for the price.

Working mans blend
Sep 08, 2021
One of my favorite smokes after a long day of work. I am no great expert on tobacco finery, but even as an amateur I do know a good quality aromatic. Moist on the pinch yet easily packed and lit with no difficulty. Full flavored yet hardly overbearing. Even the wife is fond of the scent burnt or otherwise. Will continue to buy this pouch for many years.

Pleasant Surprise
Jul 10, 2021
Was really surprised by this one. Very nice smoke. I get hints of caramel and maybe some maple or vanilla. Very smooth, cool smoke. This would be an excellent choice for some one new to pipe smoking. Nice aroma that non-smokers would even like. Tried this blend the first time with a little Devil Anse Missouri Meerschaum cob pipe. That little nose warmer was perfect for this blend. And even with the short stem it smokes nice and cool. It is now one of my top 5 favorites along with Plum Pudding Bourbon Reserve, Cult Blood Red Moon, Lane 1-Q and Lane BCA.

My wife picked out this tobacco for me as she liked the package. 😁😁😁It’s more a desert tobacco. It has no bite and has a good room note. I enjoy the flavor and others told me it has a good smell and was not offensive in any way. It was a bit damp out of the package so it took a few lights. I would highly recommend this tobacco.

I can never get accustomed to the box of crayons pouch smell that all Lane aromatics seem to have on first whiff, but it wears off as the the tobacco dries and I've never tasted it. I like the subtlety of the cherry flavor here. It's not overwhelming on the palette and gives a nice room note. Definitely will purchase again.

I love this tobacco. I keep resorting to this one over my other options. It smells fantastic and it tastes very pleasant. The vanilla/caramel is not overwhelming; there's just a faint hint of it wafting about the surrounding air. It smokes very smoothly and coolly. I really don't have any qualms about this one. Just overall very pleasant. Will definitely buy again.

Discovering Missouri Meerschaum Great Dane has been a blessing.
Aug 09, 2017
Let me start by saying that my tastes for pipe tobacco have changed drastically over the years. There was a time when I wouldn't pay attention to any suggestions without Latakia in them and Dunhill My Mixture 965 was my go-to smoke. I couldn't care less if what I smoked had a nice room note. But, youth doesn't last forever and slowly I started experimenting with rum and whiskey blends. Sutliff's Sunset Rum became a favorite and still is. Eventually I began to realize when I'd return to English blends they would seem harsh and less enjoyable. I was becoming an aromatic convert, which I had never thought possible. Even after adding aromatics to my rotation, never did I think I'd ever like so-called "cherry" blends. The thought simply made me laugh. Recently I began trying some just for variety's sake. And, admittedly, still most of them are just not my thing.
However, by far, hands down, Great Dane is a massive success. Unlike so many others, it's not a harsh artificial cherry flavor at all. In fact, the overall taste and smell isn't what I'd call simply "cherry" either. Seriously, with the hints of vanilla and caramel, MMGD comes off more like a cherry pie; rich, mellow cherry flavor, but with something buttery and savory in there too. What I mean is that it has a flavor that is more complex and it's hard to pin down just what makes it so appealing. It's not a hot smoke by any means. In fact, it's a nice, almost cool smoke I could easily smoke all day. No tongue bite whatsoever. Burns down to a fine white ash. It's not goopy. It's easy to light-up and stays lit effortlessly. And, the room note is divine. Any fans of flavored aromatics cant go wrong here. Any English fans, maybe not-so-much, but I'd still suggest giving it a try. Like me, you may just find your taste aren't as straight forward as you imagine. Discovering Missouri Meerschaum Great Dane has been a blessing. Hope this helps.

Tasty, Flavorful Pipeweed
May 09, 2017
I ordered this with a Great Dane straight spool pipe, and am smoking out of that as we speak. While I won't go into how the new pipe smokes here, the tobacco it was bundled with is delicious. The flavor is strong, at least to someone who only has experience with one other aromatic, but very pleasant. Strong cherry and vanilla notes are immediately noted even by this novice smoker. I came about ordering this because it seemed a great deal to expand both my pipe collection as well as develop my smoking tastes. I was not let down by either pipe nor smoke. I went into it with some bias that because this little pouch was a bit cheaper than most tins, that it was somehow of less quality. But just like their pipes, MM has shown that they can deliver a great thing for much less than the competition. I find myself already gravitating to this as my blend of choice for multiple bowl-a-day smoking.

Feb 20, 2017
I enjoy smoking aromatic tobaccos and find that I often gravitate toward the cherry flavors. This is a nice smoking tobacco not too mild and doesn't smoke too hot.
There is a hint of vanilla on the finish.
This is definitely my go to cherry for now.

An "OK" pipe tobacco.
Feb 06, 2017
This tobacco is ok, not great, but not bad. A little hard to keep lite for my small pipe without drawing so hard it makes a "hot" smoke. I mixed it with a pouch of Captain Black Cherry (also just an "OK" tobacco) and it helped it burn more evenly and cooler with a better room note. I like it to mix with other blends.

The Real Deal
Jan 30, 2017
Absolutely one of the best tobaccos' I have ever smoked, and I started back in 1965! The promise of a great taste and a delicious room note is kept. The aroma of the blend in the pouch is enough to make your water as you fill your pipe. I have probably 30 or so tobaccos in Mason Jars resting and aging, and I find myself reaching for this tobacco almost every time I want a smoke. It is mellow and not over the top like some "perfume" tobaccos as I like to call them. This is a true delight. I saw this product at P&C the day we lost our 7 year old Great Dane Grandpuppy. I took that as a sign from the tobacco gods. I ordered it and it arrived and I smoked it on the day our new Great Dane Grandpuppy came into our lives. I expect to order plenty more of this (4 pouches already), only wishing they came in bulk tins. Take my word for this, it is the real deal.

Feb 08, 2016
Let me first say, this tobacco smells wonderful. I transferred it from the bag to my Pipes and Cigars plaid roll-up pouch and it left the room smelling grand. It has a mild, but pleasant room note when smoked and had no bite. It burned on the warmish side but I tend to puff like train. A nice daily smoke. I will continue to purchase it as well as try some of the other Missouri Meerschaum tobaccos.

I'm still a newbie to the pipe but I can see why the reviews are stacking up about the Great Dane. I've tried about 25 different aros now and this has to be my all around favorite. Complex, tasty, no bite, and just sweet enough to satisfy every time. Read the reviews, it's great, I'm buying more for sure, end of story.

Customer Testimonials
Wow! Delicious in flavor and very aromatic. This is real good. I ordered more.
EW of Virginia Beach, VA
Get any and all of these Missouri Meerschaum blends while you can at this price, bound to rise as the flavors catch on. I've got maybe 35 different flavors of other tobaccos at home already, but since getting my MM 4 pak last week, I've smoke nearly them exclusively, that is when not trying one of my old favorites to compare to MM... MM wins every time!
LF of Tempe, AZ
Just to follow-up my review from before... this is a quality tobacco that I more than enjoyed with morning coffee. Mild flavor that would be good for an apprentice piper like myself. I will buy this again for sure for those time I want a little more subtle smoke compared to say Cult Blood Red Moon which as I mentioned before is my new favorite at the moment. Smoke well my friends and thanks P&C for making quality goods available to this Ozark Hillbilly.
JF of Sunrise Beach, MO
I thought it would be better. But will try again to be fair to this tabacco. Smoked and fell in love with Cult Blood Red Moon for first time an hour and a half before so my expectations were out of wack. MM was good as expected but will try and comment more later.
JF of Sunrise Beach, MO
Good mild smoke.
RE of Leesburg, FL
Oh my! This stuff is the most delicious aromatic I have ever tried! Moist in the bag, so it packs a little tight and you'll want to ease up on the pressure you use packing it, but it lights easily and stays lit, and burns to the bottom of the bowl. Not harsh or hot like some aro's tend to get. Zero tongue bite for me. Delicious aroma in the bag, delicious and tastes like the pouch aroma. Sweet vanilla and the perfect touch of cherry. If you're an aro smoker, you will not be disappointed with this blend.
TF of Lake Elsinore, CA
Great daily smoke: smooth, flavorful, and no bite.
DA of Monrovia, IN
Very mild yet fully pleasing vanilla, cherry, and nutty overtones. No tongue bite. Just might be my new favorite. Cobbers especially should give this a go.
JW of Midland, TX
I recently acquired a sample of this excellent blend at the CORPS 30th Pipe Expo in Richmond, Virginia. The Great Dane blend is wonderful. It smokes great, is quite smooth, and has a fantastic taste...not to mention it gets the wife's stamp of approval. All in all a wonderful treat.
JH of Dutton, VA
Aros usually do not taste as good as they smell in the pouch or when lit. This blend does all three and a new personal favorite. It also has drawn praise from friends and family, who enjoy the room (or outdoor) note. Try a pouch and chances are you will be hooked too.
JH of Sterling Heights, MI
This is some good stuff ! I really liked the smell then I lit the pipe and man this is some good stuff .
JC of Trussville, AL
Tried my first bowl of this and found it to be very mild, no bite and lots of nice white smoke. Nice vanilla taste, can't taste the cherry but a definite fruity flavor. A definite recommendation from me, very nice.
BS of Overland Park, KS
I got a pouch of this along with American Patriot to try out. I am relatively new to smoking pipe, but have to say that this is got to be the richest, thickest smoke produced from any of the others I have tried (including Apricots and Cream by C&D). It is very mild and as the others have said, very pleasant vanilla room note. For an Aro, it is very nice and mild enough to not leave the throat feeling parched. I will definitely be ordering another pouch once this one gets finished!
AP of High Point, NC
Great Dane was my first pipe tobacco. I wanted to try it due to the cherry and vanilla combination and I was not dissappointed. The vanilla seems to come through clearly in the room note. When I was smoking it with some coworkers they kept saying how amazing the aroma was. Great job P&C!
JH of Norman, OK
These guys simply don't miss when it comes to pipe blends. I knew it would be good when I ordered it as I've never been disappointed with any of their tobaccos, but their great dane is especially pleasing. Smooth and flavorful. Great vanilla and cherry flavors but not overwhelming at all. This is easily an anytime of day smoke. Thanks guys, another great release.
JR of New Palestine, IN
Just smoked the first of many more bowls to come. Delicious. Creamy vanilla with subtle cherry in the background.
TG of Crown Point, IN
Met Russ at the Chicagoland pipe show and got my hands on a pouch of this, I thought I was done smoking aros but this blend is superb. Super creamy, very mild vanilla and just a hint of sweet cherry. I didn't want to believe it was a aro but after the 2nd bowl I handed it to my wife and asked her if she tasted cherry, She said yes and started smoking the rest! I finally got my pipe back and packed another bowl. This blend is that good. Not the over the top cherry aro, but a very good creamy cherry tobacco blend for sure. Now my wife wants her own pipe and more of this! Nothing is sacred!!
