I've had both and I like them both.
Not sure I can articulate *why* but Mississippi River edges out the Plum Pudding as my choice of the two. It's close, though.
I agree here, but have only had one bowl of the plum pudding so I can't formulate a complete opinion yet. Both are excellent though IMO and I NEED more of both. Damn TAD is acting up...
And I should add that I am still quite a pipe n00b so, like cigars, I am sure my tastes will change.
I did notice this morning that I did get some tongue bite; near the end of the bowl last night, I totally fucked up a relight and did it.
Brushing my teeth this morning was like chewing on tin foil!
