Another similar experience. I'm not much of a soda (or is it pop, or coke?) drinker, and when I had a diet Coke with a pipe a while back it was awfull! Thought my tongue was on fire. My diernal routine doesn't change much, except occasionally on weekends. A bowl of Guffy's Morning Blend (or other mild-ish latakia blend) with coffee every morning around 5:00, and if life allows, a bowl of a strong-ish Virginia or Vaper in the evening with a beer. Although my favored brews are IPA's with enough hopps to perminently scar your mouth, with a pipe I much prefer a "softer" pilsner, or porter, slightly cool (not cold) in a good glass. A hoppy IPA or pale ale does't work well with a pipe in my mouth.Cartaphilus":ca2h52kh said:I agree on the carbonated drinks, I've found out the first time I tried a soda with my pipe.docwatson":ca2h52kh said:Black coffee and anything NOT carbonated. I'll leave my distilled spirits for another post since they are verboten in this one.
What a mistake that was, Immediate High Intensity Tongue Burn!
YMMV
And liquor, I don't know seeing I quit about 20 years ago.
