Missouri Meerschaum Great Dane in an MM Patriot with Forever Stem.
Back in June when this tobacco was released, P&C offered a deal of 4 MM cobs and 1 pouch of each new tobacco for $40. Up until now I have been smoking, and enjoying, them all except for the Great Dane as I had yet to have a Cherry/Vanilla aro that I actually liked. Since I was driving home from work I decided I would give it a try and smoke something that might leave a little nicer "car note".
My initial impression when packing the pipe was, oh great, another goopy aro. The tobacco was quite moist, even after sitting in the pouch since June. After lighting though I was more than pleasantly surprised. You can actually taste some nice tobacco flavors. The vanilla/cherry flavors are there, but they are mellow and blend with the natural tobacco flavors nicely. There was no tongue bite, the pipe didn't require a single relight, and it burned to a fine grey ash.
I have actually found a vanilla/cherry aro that I enjoy!
