After a fairly productive day, I'm home in the den with my feet up. About really to fire up this Gasparini Mirage with a bowl full of a 1:1 blend of OJK/BLWB. Normally I'd be using Low Country VaBur with the BLWB, but for some reason the LC has grown legs and walked off. Glass o' cab on the side. (Not sure if that's gonna work or not.)

I am working on it. I had my regular Friday service at 6 AM and then a funeral, trip to the cemetery, luncheon, etc. Smoking opportunities were limited.

Whew! On the snork, that OJK will still scorch the interior of the nostrils...even when cut with the BLWB! :o

Yeah it is. When 5100 was available I liked to mix them 50/50

I love the band on that pipe. Great looking piece, all around!

I was in Milwaukee last week and weekend on business. Hotel was a few blocks from Uhle's. I wanted to get down there to snooping around and smoke a bit, but never had the chance. I'll be back next year.

Wouldn't mind going there myself. Quite a bit of my extended family lives not too far away from there in Wisconsin, so there is a good chance I might get there some day. I still need to try Uhle's 00, so an online order will have to suffice for now :)
