Oh boy. The rabbit hole just gets deeper. :ROFLMAO:

The first of Joe Lankford's many exquisite pipe tobacco blends, Seattle Pipe Club's Mississippi River is a rich English/Scottish mixture that has catalyzed an entire portfolio of cult classics. Composed of rich Red Virginias, spiced with Orientals, Latakia, and Perique, this piquant yet silky smooth mixture has become a staple of cellars across the globe, celebrated for its complexity and stimulating depth of flavor.

In cooperation with Sutliff, Seattle Pipe Club recently developed an elevated version of this immensely popular mixture, enhancing the original recipe with rare, matured condimental tobaccos and a beautiful flake cut. Tangy, whole-leaf Virginias are layered and pressed, then combined with Latakia, aged Turkish, and genuine St. James Perique, pressed again, and sliced into delicate flakes for easy preparation and greater aging potential. With the St. James leaf's fruity spice and the matured sun-cured tobacco's peppery nuance, Mississippi River Special Reserve Flake is the finest rendition of the original mixture to date — an exceptional treat for lovers of English and Scottish mixtures.

If you're a fan of the original Mississippi River, or other Lankford blends like Plum Pudding or Deception Pass, don't miss your chance to try this special reserve edition before it's gone.

Hey, you know how Mississippi River Special Reserve is a plug?

Well, you're not going to believe what we've done!

We've taken the Mississippi River Special Reserve plug, and we... Wait for it...... We sliced it into flakes!

I know! We're pretty impressed by it too.

But wait! There's more! We've taken those flakes, and put them in a screw top tin!

I know! It's amazing! Innovative! Ground breaking!
Also limited edition!
Hurry, while supplies last!

….quite expensive....

I have not tried the Mississippi River (either the usual version, or this special reserve), but my wife bought me a tin of the SPC Plum Pudding last year for some occasion or other, and I absolutely loved it and would not mind paying the $16.00 price tag any time.

It's more of a cake than plug. Regardless I bought 6 tins.

EXACTLY this. Pipers are being caught up in marketing and the panic buy. Manufacturers taking full advantage.
