  1. C W Swanson –

    Just an excellent, smooth smoke. Produces a mellow room note and clouds of milky smoke. Recommended.

  2. Zach (verified owner) –

    Incredibly smooth, no bite, and a lovely semi-sweet flavor. I can’t really taste any added flavors, it’s just a very light sweet Virginia taste. This is my favorite blend for when I’m not feeling like an English or an aromatic, and just want something medium-strength and easy to smoke.

  3. Todd L. Platek –

    Usually a Cornishman blend smoker, I found Meriwether a solid, smooth VA-Burley smoke with light but distinct flavor and medium body. Very enjoyable.

  4. Tim –

    This is a great blend that I keep coming back to again and again. It’s definitely on the “mellow” side of burleys and has a generous amount of sweetness – almost nougat-like. It’s not at all goopy or heavy like an aromatic, but it’s definitely sweet. I’ve inquired multiple times whether or not it’s a casing I’m tasting or if it’s just the sweetness of the virginias, but I’ve never heard back. Maybe someone will comment on here? Either way, it’s a wonderful blend that can either be an all day smoke, or just for those times when you don’t want an aro nor an English. Highly recommended!

  5. Incompetent Piper (verified owner) –

    I agree with the characterizations in the other reviews. Either mine picked up a bit of the Rivendell flavor it was shipped with or there’s some kind of light, sweet flavoring. Very light, always present. An easy enjoyable smoke.

  6. Noah Richardson (verified owner) –

    I like this baccy
    When I’m smoking it there is this feeling that I should be smoking it through a Church Warden

    A medium smoke that makes me think of hearth and home.

  7. Ralph Myers (verified owner) –

    Wonderful ribbon cut tobacco. Moisture when received was just right. I did dry it for about 30 minutes before smoking. After the char lit and a tamp, it smokes cool and even.
    Great smooth tobacco flavor with subtle sweet, coco and nutty notes. Thick, luxurious smoke with a pleasant room note.
    If there’s any casing on this, it’s lite and not noticeable.
    Would love to know the percentage of each tobacco? The Maryland is a tobacco I’m not familiar with. I did a quick search and it seems to be a “neutral flavor” type tobacco.
    Not a complex blend, but sometimes you’re just in the mood for a wonderful, easy to smoke tobacco with good flavor. A very enjoyable tobacco indeed. I could smoke this any time of the year; definitely an all day smoke. I will definitely be ordering some more of this in the future!

  8. Cliff –

    A solid contender! Smooth, no bite and a very pleasing flavor. This is the 5th Squire I’ve tried and is, by far, a winner.

  9. jdeckard82 (verified owner) –

    good all day smoke. no bite very simple . easy to smoke great for beginners . think elevated codger blend without all the toppings

  10. mtingram1990 (verified owner) –

    Amazing, the subtle sweetness of the Virginia and the cool consistency of the Burley make for an unreal smoke. Cannot recommend enough!!

  11. sten25 (verified owner) –

    Meriwether is such a good smoke to enjoy at any time. I like how balanced the mix of tobaccos is. The flavor is subtly sweet and feels really cozy. I’ve never had a bad pipe of this blend.

  12. Rick Walker –

    Good blend if you let it air dry enough where you can actually taste the tobacco.
