Tobaccos for smoking in pipes are often carefully treated and blended to achieve flavor nuances not available in other tobacco products.[citation needed] Many of these are blends using staple ingredients of variously cured Burley and Virginia tobaccos which are enhanced by spice tobaccos, among them many Oriental or Balkan varietals, Latakia (a fire-cured spice tobacco of Syrian origin, but now made in other regions, such as, Cyprus and Lebanon ), Perique (uniquely grown in St. James Parish, Louisiana) which is also an old method of fermentation, or blends of Virginia and Burley tobaccos of African, Indian, or South American origins. Traditionally, many U.S. blends are made of American Burley with sweeteners and flavorings added to create an "aromatic" flavor, whereas "English" blends are based on natural Virginia tobaccos enhanced with Oriental and other natural tobaccos. There is a growing tendency towards "natural" tobaccos which derive their aromas from artful blending with selected spice tobaccos only and careful, often historically-based, curing processes.
Pipe tobacco can be purchased in several forms, which vary both in flavor (leading to many blends and opportunities for smokers to blend their own tobaccos) and in the physical shape and size to which the tobacco has been reduced. Most pipe tobaccos are less mild than cigarette tobacco, substantially more moist and cut much more coarsely. Too finely cut tobacco does not allow enough air to flow through the pipe, and overly dry tobacco burns too quickly with little flavor. Pipe tobacco must be kept in an airtight container, such as a canning jar or sealed tin, to keep from drying out.
Some pipe tobaccos are cut into long narrow ribbons. Some are pressed into flat plugs which are sliced into flakes. Others are tightly wound into long ropes, then sliced into discs. Plug tobacco is maintained in its pressed block form and sold in small blocks. The plug will be sliced into thin flakes by the smoker and then prepared in a similar fashion to flake tobacco. It is considered that plug tobacco holds its flavor better than rubbed or flake tobacco. Flake tobacco (sliced cakes or ropes) may be prepared in several ways. Generally it is rubbed out with the fingers and palms until it is loose enough to pack. It can also be crumbled or simply folded and stuffed into a pipe. Some people also prefer to dice up very coarse tobaccos before using them, making them easier to pack.

They were the first and a century and a half later, they're still
going strong. Of course, I'm talking about Missouri Meerschaum
corn cob pipes. To celebrate, here's Missouri Meerschaum 150th
Anniversary. To begin with, this is the first crumble cake
in their tobacco lineup, and it's nice and firm. Secondly, this
is one of the first aromatic crumble cakes we've offered.
Missouri Meerschaum 150th Anniversary is made of select Virginias
and Burleys from around the world to which some mellow,
Virginia-based black Cavendish is added. A subtle amount of
smooth vanilla is added before pressing, but it's so slight that
non-aromatic fans may enjoy it too. So grab your favorite cob,
load up, light up, and puff away to celebrate Missouri's greatest
contributions to our pastime.

Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot is a highly unusual type of
blend to find in a pouch. This is a Latakia-based blend, enhanced
by quality Virginia leaf, and the exotic influence of Turkish
Smyrna, with just a touch of Burley for excellent burning
characteristics. A light top note of Kentucky Bourbon makes for a
nice addition to the aroma but is undetectable in the flavor. For
a superb value in an English-style blend, light up a bowl of
American Patriot.

you at an everyday bargain price. Enjoy the naturally sweet, and
tangy character of Country Gentleman.

The MM Great Dane pipes are their take on Danish designs. When we
wanted to make a tobacco with the same name, a Danish-inspired
aromatic would be the best choice. This blend consists of steamed
black Cavendish, Virginias, and white Burley, which have been
topped with a smooth combination of a dark cherry, without the
sharpness of the typical "maraschino" flavor, and warm notes of
vanilla and caramel, for an easy-smoking blend.

The newest version of Missouri Meerschaum's Independence Day
blend is very intriguing. This is a softly aromatic blend with
vanilla leading the way, but underneath is a light splash of
Cyprian Latakia to add a smoky note. This one should appeal to
fans of aromatic English blends that are no longer available and
for folks who wax nostalgic for some of the old American English
blends that had a bit of an aromatic scent. As is typical of the
Missouri Meerschaum blends, we find that the flavor of this
cool-smoking blend are enhanced by the buttery sweetness that a
genuine Missouri Meerschaum corncob pipe adds to the mix.

the flake processing adds a deeper flavor to the tobacco. For a
