Enjoying this Patent Era Pete with some Solani aged burley flake. I can't help but wonder the journey that this 100 plus year old has had. It's been in my possession the last 12 years or so. Wherever it has been it's been rarely smoked and is in outstanding condition. Ronni Bikacsan made the stem for me to replace an unusable broken amber stem. It's a fine smoker and I have to say I feel special smoking it.
