[QUOTE="mike_68, post: 168963, member: 1856"] I'm with you Brewdude...had some experiences that STUNK as far as my palate getting fried to the point where it was sensitive the next day! But speed smoking and tobacco humidity seem to be huge in this. I think it's also important to note that as a newb, I had a hard time forcing myself to understand that smoking "fast" has more to do with how hard you draw on the pipe than how quick you go from one puff to the next. I would think to myself "I'm only taking one drag every 15 seconds or so...how can that be too fast?". In thinking about it a bit deeper I realized I was taking a LONG, STRONG drag...that's just as bad as taking 20 quick short bursts on the pipe I feel. Best illustration being when relighting...I still drag way to hard and will get bit even though the pipe, when lit, isn't biting at all.. It definitely takes time and as my experience grows I'd expect less and less bite....I'm getting better though! :D [/QUOTE]
