Last summer I opened a tin of Anniversary Kake (bought in 2015) and after burning my palate with a Peterson p-lip, I jarred it. I thought p-lips were not for me so I smoked other VaPers in my Peterson very carefully, but to my surprise none of them burned my palate or tongue. Anyway, after almost a year I opened the jar yesterday, took a bowlful of it and let it dry for 40 minutes. While packing I realized that it wasn't dry enough as I prefer my tobacco on the bone dry side. I lighted the bowl and after few puffs I felt some sharp stinging pain on the tip and side of my tongue, like the one you feel when you sip a hot coffee. I couldn't smoke it and had to empty the bowl. Luckily I had some Dunhill Royal Yacht available, so loaded another pipe and enjoyed. I smoked some Esoterica Tobacciana And So To Bed in the morning and I couldn't get the notes from it that I always get, except some Latakia taste, felt like I lost my sensation of taste.
I know that there are some fans of AK out there, is there any special drying method for this one? Reviews says that if I dry it too much, it will lose its flavor. Damn, I still feel some burning sensation on my tongue.
