[QUOTE="DireWolf, post: 406205, member: 3732"] I have no idea what this is about, but thought I'd throw it out there. I have no clue if this is blend related, pipe related, or me related. I have had a few blends recently that give me a strange reaction - one has been in several pipes, and another in one. Squadron Leader in bulk (But it's tasty!) and last night PS's LTF. Both have yielded what I would describe at tongue bite. I get a peppery pickle/heat sensation on the side the bit is on, and generally across my tongue. Mellows with drink, but even a mellow sip will bring it and keep it. It's not tongue burn, AFAICT, there is no lasting sensation, and I can smoke #5100, or other Va with no effect. Mild aros like shortcut to mushrooms, some of the 4th Gen (1957 and 1897(?)), and a few others are also fine. I have several Va's open, a couple of aros, and for English it's only FMC and SL right now. McC's Drama Reserve is also not a problem. As a rule, I am using taller narrow bowls for Va's and broader/shallower ones for English. I have several tasters that just came in from Peretti that are all English, but I am trying to figure out what's going on. Thought maybe it was something in the SL - Perique or something - but there is none in there. Is this a pipe thing? I have about 10 or so, but an trying to keep a couple for each type of tobacco, so that's a little limiting. I wonder if it's something I am sensitive to, or what. It's strange that it's (so far) only these two blends. [/QUOTE]
