Dear Fellow Pipesmokers,
So the other day I had a bowl of Clan Aromatic (breaking in a pipe, don't want to waste the good stuff). It burned unexpectedly well. Didn't taste like much, but at the same time the pipe kept lit, didn't get sloppy soggy wet, didn't get overly bitter, and there was no (or not much, at least) tongue-bite.
However.
Afterwards, up to to the next morning, my mouth felt quite irritated. The feeling was much like when I ate a tablet of ascorbic acid when I was a kid.
Granted, the tobacco was nothing fancy, but still. I think I got a similar effect (though not as pronounced) from a premium-class virginia mixture.
It's not something I've experienced from cigars.
So, my question here is: what's up with that? Was the pipe smoking wrong? Is it simply the matter of choice of tobacco?
