Blend info
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. 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.

Some info on the Corn Cub pipe I am smoking this blend.
Missouri Meerschaum Diplomat Apple Bent Fishtail Pipe
The Apple Diplomat Corn Cob Pipe from Missouri Meerschaum is one of our most sought-after shapes in our larger, filtered pipes.
The chubby and familiar oval-shaped bowl is popular for a reason! Comfortable in the hand and pleasing to the eye, the Apple Diplomat is sure to be a welcome addition to your pipe smoking rotation. This pipe accommodates a 6 mm filter and has a genuine hardwood insert in the bottom of the bowl.
It is available as a straight or bent bit and is included in our family of 2 Pipe Gift Sets.
I am so happy I found your channel. Been smoking pipes since 1980. Collected pipes all over Europe while in the Army. I love MM Cob pipes. I prefer the filter ones. I have about 9 of them. Again great review thanks for sharing
Thanks Michael & welcome 😊
Thanks again for this review. I ordered a ton of this along with a mockingbird cob directly from MM and am enjoying this right now as I am breaking the new cob. Both are very nice.
Oh, that is excellent Michael👍 enjoy them both. Thanks for the update.
Thanks for your review Nathan
My pleasure Richard
I want a Bing as well. Smoking a MM Patriot, smokes great. It's my favorite cob so far. Building a collection.
Striking corn cob is the Patriot. Enjoy it
Sounds lovely - this blend sounds right up my alley. I do like oriental forward tobaccos.
Interesting hearing about the advantages of a Corn Cob, something I had not considered. They sound perfect for a work day out in the field and an ideal alternative to the Falcon which I often use.
Yes Mark another rabbit hole the corncob pipe 😀 the good thing is they are cheap as chips.. well, most of them are
Corncobs are Awesome! All pipe smokers should have them in their inventory! So sweet a smoke! Spend the money & get one with an acrylic stem! Just as good as real meersham, IMO, but I have one of those as well! Great channel you have! Keep piping!
I agree and I do have now a few with acrylic stems. I appreciate your compliment😊
Most enjoyable video & subject. Corn cobs are indeed are wonderful pipes, like you rightly say they are in many ways like a meerschaum. I was lucky to acquire two of the CS Bing's favourite i would have send you one but i know you have one already😊 I love the look of the Charles Towne Cobbler but unfortunately it is no longer available on Cgars or GQ. So far only smokingpipes has it in stock. The guy you are giving it to would love it. For now i might go for a similar corn cob called Missouri Meerschaum Emerald bent Corn Cob available on GQ tobacco. Take care my friend. Regards Daniel & Beth
Thanks Daniel. The MM Emerald has gorgeous green stem and it indeed looks similar in appearance & quality to the Charles Towne Cobbler. Yes I have now the country Squire Bing’s favourite but thanks for the thought😊 be well & Regards beck.
What a perfectly enjoyable video. The blend sounds intriguing. If you don't mind me asking, and of course, please don't feel compelled to answer, but generally speaking, what is the nature of your business? Marketing? Advertising? Architecture? I sense some creative-leaning endeavor. I am quite enjoying your channel. Please keep it up. Cheers!🥂 ☮
Thanks. As for the nature of my business. We are in the block management & construction sector for private & local authorities who provide housing in the shape of block residential buildings. So in reality it entails all you mentioned😊
@@TheVapingPiper How interesting. Thank you for answering my question.

Thanks Yusuf. As usual perfectly summarised comment😊
Looks delicious!
It actually is Austin. I was actually searching for any online vendor who has it in stock. So far Iwan Rise is the only one.
I did not realize some of those benefits of the corncobs and how MM got its name. I do love my corncobs and want more.
Well Mike I didn’t either until I started asking questions from those who smoke corncobs daily.
As always a great video. Would love to hear your evaluation of one of my favorite Scottish type blends from County Squire Pilgrim’s Muse. Take care.
Thanks Jack. You would be pleased to know that I have ordered from the country Squire the very same favourite blend of yours the pilgrim’s muse😀 waiting for it & very much looking forward to smoke it. In due course I will of course share my thoughts.
If you ever get a corn cob without finishing (with plaster and varnish) on the bowl, e.g Freehand or MacArthur, it will smoke even cooler and the surface of bowl practically stays cool at all times!
Thank you for the usual tip👍
I've not tried that blenb yet, but have smoked many of their other blends. They've all been good. I have several MM pipes. I live just down river from them, so try to fo my part to support a local business.
One more thing there is a bit of a break in. The first few smokes you usually get a bit of a corn flavor that comes through but goes away after 3-5 bowls & also need to get a good char on the hardwood shank. Then they smoke as well as any other pipe I have
For any Corn Cob enthusiast that is a bonus to live so close to MM😁
Thanks for the useful info Ryan👍
Great review, Nathan. Period. I am with you on the briars. They are true works of art. That being said, when nobody’s looking, I reach for my corn cobs. lol. You should check out the MM Emerald. It has a brass band. The one modification I make on mine that makes the most difference and how they smoke is as follows. I take either a Dremel tool or a drill and get rid of most of the stem that comes through the bowl that’s on the inside. I then make what is called pipe mortar, which consists of one part of plaster of Paris, .6 part activated charcoal, which is derived from coconut husks, and 1/2 apart ordinary, iodized table, salt. You mix that very well together and then start adding a little bit of water at a time until you get what appears to be clay. Then carefully push that clay into the bottom of the bowl. Take the stem off and insert a 3 mm drillbit, so it sticks out into the bowl. Then finish smoothing out the mortar. It starts to dry. You can take the drillbit out. The result is a pipe that you will not get as much ash or bit of tobacco in your mouth. It will never burn out through the bottom either. If you want to see that pipe mortar made, go to Canerodpiper channel and do a search on pipe mortar
My dear John I am not sure if I should even attempt to carry out your very specific & knowledgeable instructions as I am fairly certain I would ruin the pipe instead of upgrading it😂 I already gathered by watching one of your technical videos that you are a tinker who enjoys using your knowledge & skills. I think it was about a humble pipe lighter that listening to you describing the inner workings it sounded like a rocket science seminar😊 I think John best I carry on smoking my Corn Cob the way it was originally designed😀 anyway thanks for the interesting reading. Take care
@@TheVapingPiper thank you for responding Nathan. Another thing I have done that is really easy is to put one of those .75 inch diameter screens inside the bottom of the pipe. The screens are commonly used for smoking pot. Every one of the stores locally will have those screens for sale. My issue with the corncob pipe that I was trying to fix is the gaping draft hole that sucks Ash and tobacco right into your mouth. When I was visiting the Missouri Meerschaum factory I mentioned that I was getting a lot of ash and bits of tobacco in my mouth because of the giant draft tube. The lady I was talking to suggested I try the screens. My Missouri Meerschaum Bing has a screen in it. That screen also prevents burning the wood stem that would be below it. I hope that is a much simpler and easy solution. You might not even have had that problem. I was just constantly sucking all kinds of trash into my mouth when I was smoking my corn cob pipes. You have a great week, my friend.
Oh, that screen you mentioned sounds a lot more practical. Thanks for the idea that might be useful if I come across the sucking ash issue. Have a great day John.
Was just on the CS site and ordered the pipe they are back in stock😅
I assume you are referring to the Bing’s favourite. Enjoy it Jack 😊 I too have it now and will review it soon. It is a gorgeous corn cob
