[QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 70999, member: 614"] What I have read is that the smoke from Virginia tobaccos is highly alkaline, to the point of causing alkaline burn. You can counteract this with an acidic beverage. I normally drink coffee, but wine is also acidic which is probably why it works for others here. I have also heard of others using orange juice or soda - same thing. The alkalinity of VA tobacco smoke is one of the reasons blenders add Latakia and other blending tobaccos - the smoke from those varieties is more alkaline than that from VAs so it creates a more neutral smoke. That's why most English blends are much less likely to cause tongue bite, at least the type of bite that comes from alkalinity. [/QUOTE]
