[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 140210, member: 820"] Hey there- There have been good comments so far. My thoughts: Getting good at packing and smoking slowly will help for sure but unfortunately tounge bite happens especially if you´re new to the pipe. In general it is just traumatic to sensitive nerves and the mucous membranes in the mouth, throat, and nose. Probably the biggest factor is heat. Don´t puff so hard that you can´t hold the bowl. It might feel that it just ain´t on fire, but that´s where the flavor is! Really wet tobcco is harder to keep lit and will make matters worse. Lot´s of OTC aromatics are ribbon cut which makes it easier to keep lit. That means it´ll get very hot quickly. The spot where it feels like it´s going to go out because you can´t feel the heat is where you want to be. Packing is directly related to this. If the tobacco is really tight, you´ll have to puff all the harder to keep it lit. Practice filling the bowl a little looser. As you light it, it will expand and you can tamp it down. If you feel there is resistance to the draw, it is too tight. There is a "right balance" where the flavor is intense but it´s not too hot. Practice! [/QUOTE]
