Missouri Meerchaum Tobacco Blends

[toby67]

Missouri Meerchaum have brought out a few blends such as Great Dane, Missouri Pride, Country Gentlemen and America's Pride. I have been trying to get the Great Dane but it keeps getting misplaced in transit. Recently I purchased a pouch of Missouri Pride and a tin of Old Dublin as a gift for BoilerMakerAndy as a thank you gift for a recent favour and in his words;

It's really tasty , you should try it. The more I sip on this the more I like it, it's really good, really good actually. Burns really cool and tasty, thanks for turning me onto it.

It seems Missouri Meerchaum take pride in what they deliver, they also do pipe and pouch bundles at Pipes & Cigars

Cool, I'm sure you'll enjoy them, as you mentioned they have gotten good reviews. I wasn't sure who the blender was but then I never looked, lol. With Russ blending them it's no wonder they are said to be quality blends. Didn't look if P&C sold in bulk either.

I tried the Missouri Pride and wasn't impressed. More Virginia than Burley.

I've heard that comment about Missouri Pride a couple of times, but it's actually about 80% Burley.

Been smoking my way through a pouch of American Patriot and Country Gentleman. I think both are very soild blends. To me the American Patriot comes across as slightly sweet and smokey blend, the Burbon gives a nice room note. The Country Gentleman is a good VaPer with the dark fired Kentucky giving it a slight spicey taste.

I have got to try American Patriot. I keep hearing good things about it.

If you are concerned about room note, each time I smoke the Great Dane aromatic, I receive compliments about the wonderful aroma.

We are looking into putting larger amounts into bags.

How about some bulk for us tight wads Russ?...

I enjoy the American Patriot blend, a good smoke, easy on the wallet and most importantly my wife to be doesn't kick me out side while smoking it. I would definitely buy it in bulk if possible, with being unemployed for over 2 years I need to make sure that I stretch my tobacco allowance as far as possible.

I still have one more blend in this series to try. I'll do that very soon. I've liked the three I have tried: American Patriot, Country Gentleman, and Missouri Pride.

I really enjoyed the American Patriot as well. It reminded me a of a Frog Morton blend. Keep up the good blending Russ.. especially for us Missouri boys!

Do any shops carry this, or is it strictly online only?

 

[blendtobac]

Any shop that wants to carry them can buy them from Meier & Dutch Wholesale.

I may have done the blending, but the brand is still Missouri Meerschaum, and they would like any retailer that sells their pipes to be able to carry the tobaccos. That includes drugstores, convenience stores and big-box retailers. That's why the pouched and bags are what's planned. Those other retailers aren't set up for selling bulk tobaccos.

Your local shop wouldn't have to make a large commitment. Each blend is packaged 6 pouches to a sleeve so it wouldn't be a big investment.

Russ, if you're still reading this thread, I just wanted to say that I really liked the Country Gentlemen and it's a great value for where it's priced. Nobody is ever going to be a raving fan of every single thing you blend, but thanks for being one of the last of the Mohicans out there blending new twists and flavors and keeping our hobby alive and fresh.
Edit: And if you ever stop making classic burley kake, I'll take back any good word I ever said about you.

Missouri Meerschaum definitely deserves its own line of blends, and these sound like they are

tasty and well blended to appeal to various smokers. I'm sure I'll get to them soon.
