The newest version of Missouri Meerschaum's Independence Day blend is very intriguing. This is a softly aromatic blend with vanilla leading the way, but underneath is a light splash of Cyprian Latakia to add a smoky note. This one should appeal to fans of aromatic English blends that are no longer available and for folks who wax nostalgic for some of the old American English blends that had a bit of an aromatic scent. As is typical of the Missouri Meerschaum blends, we find that the flavor of this cool-smoking blend are enhanced by the buttery sweetness that a genuine Missouri Meerschaum corncob pipe adds to the mix.
Ordered this with Great Dane and American Patriot and a selection of MM cobs as an intro to cobs in general. I have enjoyed the experience and will continue to smoke a cob now and then to supplement my briars. The other blends were good, but more on par with a decent OTC blend. Independence Day deserves the tin - a step above the rest of the MM blends IMHO. I ordered another tin almost immediately because it is a limited run. A great social smoke - this was in my pipe when I was lightin' the fireworks on the 4th.
A wonderful tobacco! The tin aroma is great has a clean fresh smell. Taste is great, no bite and burns to bottom of the bowl. Have already ordered more to keep in my small stock of pipe tobacco!
This is a great smoke. Finished the tin in a couple of weeks. No tongue bite, and can be enjoyed any time of day.
I'm new to pipe smoking, thought I would give the a try, very..very happy with it. It has a great taste, no bite, and my wife loves the smell of the light chocolate. I would highly recommended giving this a try.
This is a winner. I have to say as a Missouri Meerschaum pipe fan I haven't tried their tobacco until I.D. 2015. It has a nice flavor and sweetness but not over sweet. Very satisfying smoke. I bought two tins one for now and one to save. The Virginias and Burley with Black Cavendish really work well with each other. Put this in an MM cob or hardwood and you have a very tasty very satisfying smoke. I plan to smoke nothing but this on 7/4/15.
A wonderful blend of tobacco with great flavor and aroma. Absolutely delicious.
