I always really look forward to smoking my pipe at night, but am often disappointed. Some nights I find my smoking to be absolutely heavenly, and others it is just not enjoyable--I can't taste the nuances of the tobacco I am smoking and often I am left with a nasty taste.
Tonight is one of those nights....I have tried 3 different tobaccos is 3 different pipes and all taste pretty lousy tonight, despite them being favorite blends in good, clean pipes.
Why is this? I have yet to figure it out. It's not the tobacco, it's not the packing, and I don't think it's the pipe. I think it is largely my palate perhaps, but I am not sure what causes it.
I avoid spicy foods and onions on nights when I am going to smoke. Still just seems like some nights things are just not right and maybe that there is some sort of chemical imbalance that causes the bad taste.
Same goes for my Scotch and Bourbon...just doesn't taste good some nights.
Any thoughts or advice?
thanks
