Peterson Nite Cap in a 2010 limited. 404/1000. I did spend a bit of time polishing up a bit. Silver does tarnish and ebonite does oxidize in the sun. Who ever smoked it before I did was very careful.

Meerschaum March is around the corner!Really trying to work in the coloring of this pipe. View attachment 1067406
Very nice Mike. How would you compare it to Stokkebye’s Luxury Bulls Eye Flake? I’m lookin at buying a few bags to age and didn’t know how Stokkeby’s would match up?The perique is not as strong as I feared. I believe this will age beautifully.

Some CD SP XX Flake Dark or whatever the nomenclature is on the dark flake.... In a Buckeye Tipsy Apple. A dedicated VaPer Pipe.
It is a good smoke. Lots of flavors going on. I can always feel the perique even if I don't taste it on every inhale. It is always noticable on the retrohale. Not very spicy and doesn't bite.
The Virginia's are a great costar. Sitting in the back and knowing their role. Making the story better and tying it all together. They don't bite and in sipping away with a decent cadence on a breezy Ohio March day.
It is a very broken flake. And despite my lighter not wanting to spark in the wind it eventually lit just fine and have only needed one relight when I didn't tamp in time. (was grooming the dogs and they were getting squirmy.)
The tin note is subtle dried fruit and earthy. The earth notes are not noticed in the smoke.
Overall I'd rate this as a quality smoke that hits a lot of VaPer notes right down the middle. It is like a 3 RBI stand up double in baseball. Great hit, runs score but not a grand slam. Maybe some age in the tin and letting it mingle together will make it into more. Still an outstanding smoke that gets the job done .View attachment 1069947View attachment 1069946
I knew there were questions on it.Thank you for that review!

I want to say it is similar to Marlin Flake just a lot less spice and bite. It has been a while since I've had Marlin Flake.
