Passing the first third of this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

So far, I've had:

2021 GLP Union Square in the Brebbia 984. Good, but the tangy sweetness was a little muted, and it got a bit ashy toward the end. Probably on me for not blocking the wind well or being attentive enough in general. So I moved on to:

2021 Squadron Leader in the English cob. Had trouble keeping it lit for the first half. There was a clump remaining from the tin that I didn't bother to loosen up, in the future I'll be making sure it's fully loosened up and then packed evenly. It tasted pretty good, perhaps a little spicier than it should have been from aggressive relighting and wind, but those Gawith Virginias are always lovely. Think I'll give this one a redo next!
