Thanks ! I have been awol and just got back. I knew he had identified a problem but must have listed them while I was off and about. Jack, I appreciate the heads up.

I had always thought that tongue bite was the burning of your tongue when smoking wet tobacco, in that case i have never experienced the bite, but i have burned my tongue many times.

Hextor, I avoid smoking 'wet' tobacco preferring mine more on the dry side of medium.
One thing I have noticed since first posting is that it is usually the first one or two bowls of the day when I occasionally experience tongue 'nip'.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the toothpaste I use. It contains the herb thyme and is called Euthymol.

Jay.

It depends on the blend, I like to smoke autum evening when its fresh because it will have more flavor, I have learned to sip on the pipe, that has help me not to burn my tongue.

Jay-
Toothpaste- yes! I sometimes brush with just water, no bite, but adding paste can bring it on.

John, I might consider changing (back) to Colgate but to use just water is anathema to me. But of course, whatever works for you ::

Jay.
