Seattle Pipe Club has been bringing finely crafted tobacco blends to pipe fans since 2007, showcasing some of the best available tobacco on the market. Even so, Master Blender Joe Lankford likes to fix what's not broken. When he comes across rare limited tobacco, he uses it to create limited-edition versions of his already highly acclaimed blends. Whether it adds depth, complexity, smoothness, or a bit more strength, the special blends are always a win-win. Try some of the original versions, then give the Special Reserves a try. You might have a hard time deciding which ones you like best, but you'll like them all nonetheless! 
 
For this limited-edition version of the wildly popular Mississippi River blend, master blender Joe Lankford added some special well-aged Virginia tobacco to a carefully crafted mix of Latakia, Oriental, and Perique, and pressed it into plugs for easy handling. The notes of dark fruit, wood, and spice will have you coming back to this blend until it’s gone!
