The Luminaire, Drawndown, and Party Line pipe tobacco blends are members of Missouri Meerschaum's celebrated MMC Elite series. Manufactured by Cornell & Diehl, these three blends honor Henry Tibbe and the pivotal role he and his family played in modernizing Washington, Missouri's infrastructure.
  • Luminaire -- On New Year's Eve of 1892, Anton Tibbe, son of founder Henry Tibbe, brought electricity to Washington for the first time, after setting up the town's first power plant. The Luminaire blend celebrates that historic event with a flake-cut mixture of Red Virginias, Cavendish, Katerini Orientals, and St. James Perique.
  • Drawndown -- A ready-rubbed mixture of Bright Virginias, Latakia, Cavendish, and St. James Perique, Drawdown, as a blend, celebrates Henry Tibbe's finalization of Washington, Missouri's first wind-powered plumbing system in 1887, an event that provided the Tibbes and their neighbors with indoor running water.
  • Party Line -- A cake-cut blend of Burley, Cavendish, and St. James Perique elevated by notes of peaty scotch and cocoa, the Party Line mixture celebrates Henry Tibbe's son, Anton Tibbe, who installed Washington, Missouri's first telephone line in 1883.

Ive recently realized that every time I read about a new blend I say, "mmmm, that sounds good".
I honestly have never found a blend I flat hated.
There are some...Bayou Morning....that I don't really care for, but I dont hate it.
Anyways, Ill add these to an order!!

There is too much fluff in these descriptions. I don't care about what happened in 1892, 1887, or 1883.

It is nice packaging, however. I will give them that.

Yeah I’m still waiting on an estate pipe quote from them as well. The information page states 5-10 business days for them to estimate the value. Looks like the later timeframe for mine
Maybe today
