The weather has recently changed, we've dropped from the high 60's down to the high 40's and the air is noticably damp. Autumn is finally here.
My last few bowls of English tobaccos have lost most of their taste and sometimes have a sour tang to them even though the pipes are clean and have rested for at least 48 hours. I've also noticed that the heel of the pipe is damp and I'm struggling to smoke the last 1/6th of the bowl, the tobacco burns with a sizzle so I presume it's damp. I've never had a problem with English blends before so I'm a little confused, is this normal in colder damp weather? Is they're a way round this?
