    Selling your McClelland's?

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    The Vegan Burger

    Most people I talk to don't have that issue with the burnt plastic taste. But through genetics/body chemistry/ other reasons, that's the only thing I taste in the beyond/impossible hamburger. To each their own

    The Vegan Burger

    I don't really care for any of the vegan meat substitutes. Impossible burger and beyond burger both taste like burnt plastic to me. As much of a carnivore as I am, I do find a grilled portobello mushroom does work quite nicely in place of a hamburger patty. Doesnt replicate the taste of...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Probably going to give a couple days break to give my palate a break. Last night was sutliff Berkshire in a sparkless pipe while fishing/ swatting away the mosquitoes since I forgot the bug repellent

    Mortise drilled all the way to the bowl

    My Observations on the Subject of the P'Lip

    I do have a WDC Wellington (one of my late grandfather's pipes), pretty much an oversized system pipe with a p lip. My observations with it in regards to your statements are as follows: 1.
