Good day all - and Congrats to jayteest along with Happy Birthday to streeper541!! Started with LJ Peretti Smith's Own in the Charatan 318 Poker. A favorite blend from days past and still as good as I remember. The blend's author, the late Steve Smith, was a fixture at the Peretti store in Boston as many of you know, and I had the pleasure of giving him a straight grain Peretti Billiard with gold band about 15 years ago. I had showed him the pipe and he just had to have it on the spot which he demonstrated by immediately sticking it in his maw and happily walking off (PS It was a terrible jaw hanger).
