Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve
(3.26)
From P&C's website: Recently, Joe Lankford was offered some very special, well-aged Virginias. Instead of creating a whole new blend, he thought that he would use them to make a limited edition version of his wildly popular Mississippi River. Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve is everything you love about the original but with very rare flue cured tobaccos included for richer, smoother flavor.
Notes: Featuring Virginias, latakia, and St. James perique, Seattle Pipe Club's Mississippi River is pressed into cakes, aged, and cut into plugs for easy handling.

Summary: another Scottish blend that achieves the "garbage plate" effect but no particular flavor.
These blends remind me of postmodern novels. They start with a worship of Dunhill "My Mixture 965," then take it in an American direction by piling in more Burley and larger doses of bright Virginia and intermediate Virginia shades (orange, maybe Maryland). Then they press it together. Like the postmodern novel, the more high concepts you throw at a book, the more it becomes like having a committee write it, and you end up with a simple conclusion at the end of a rambling but varied and pluralistic discourse. Similarly, this blend starts out promising until you realize that you are smoking an Oriental rug knitted of random tobaccos, at which point you simply pick up some "My Mixture 965" or "Red Rapparee" instead.

Agree with DeathMetal. Could be my sample packet sent with a purchased pipe from a trusted vendor? The taste is ok. The aroma diffused and without much interest. Nothing like the Plum Pudding line — I had high expectations s based on other SPC offerings. Very blah.
