Cornell & Diehl Montford Point Marine
(3.29)
The fourth in the Cornell & Diehl series honoring the service of African-Americans, Montford Point Marine remembers the men trained at Camp Montford Point, the first US Marine training base established for Blacks in 1942. Like the men of Montford Point, this blend of dark-fired Burley, Perique and Latakia is full and stout-hearted, ship-shape and stands tall. Semper Fi!

"Solid", "Hits the spot", and "Puts things right."
I've been out of the game for awhile, boys. Started a family, still building my business, and relocated to the mountains of North Carolina.
I've been relying on my old standby: Captain Earl.
However, I ran out, and wanted to visit the local shop to see what was what.
They had some old tins from Cornell and Diehl. So, I bought some MPM.
Glad that I did. Really hits the spot. Not much to say about the intricate details and tastes. Just a good, hearty, stout bowl of man-smoke.
Thank you to the real Montford Point Marines.
And thank you to this tobacco. Set me up right.

Smoked a few more bowls. I could finally pick out the Perique towards the back of each puff. As soon as that happened, it started to remind me of Mississippi Mud. I wouldn't call them similar. It's just reminding me how much I love The Mud. I need to pick some up here, in the soons.

Tasty, full bodied and thourolly enjoyable. The blend has a nice latakia profile that stays well in the front for most of the bowl. You get the earthiness of the burley rounding things out. Perique just lightly pops its head peppering the nose from time to time. I'm recommending it and would like to aquire a few more tins for the cellar.

I rather enjoyed the few bowls of this that I tried. I used it to break in my Wallenstein pipe that I recently acquired on a visit with the man himself! The burley was a nice change of pace from the usual VA's in an english blend, and the proportions provided for a nice interplay of spice and bold body, this one goes great with a cup of jo or a dark beer! I'd like to get a tin of this at some point and smoke it again so I can make more observations, but so far, I'd say it's a keeper!
