***What Are You Smoking, January 2023?***

[Scottmi]

Prepping a new Luigi Viprati Sabbiata for it's first smoke which will be Peretti 150th Anniversary Flake. Rubbing the flake out I smelled something familiar...had to focus on it for a bit and...dried KELP is the smell. Whatever it may be though, it's a nice blend. I've been putting off getting this pipe out so I could focus on the Santa Sav and other recent acquisitions, but the time has come. Also will be my first 9mm filter pipe. Looing forward to how this flake comes across with the filter (though very tasty, I toasted my tongue pretty well when I last smoked 150th). Brewing up some decaf right now and as soon as it is ready will be lighting up posthaste.

Nice pipe, Jim.

Thanks. It's a prize to treasure. It was made the second year of Parker production.

Normally this Peterson Sherlock Holmes Rathbone gets nothing but Wilke No. 515, but it seems to work really well with a flake and I’m going to have another voyage with Peterson Flake pretty soon - just getting better acquainted.
