Weird Tongue Bite Cure

[unclefester13]

Has anyone experienced calming down tongue bite with switching tobaccos? After smoking my pipe most of the day I started to get a little tongue bite . . . so I stopped. Then having no will power, I pick up my new BC (Estate Sale) and filled it with Boswell's Majestic 586, and it began to calm it down and eventually went away.

Try using some Biotene dry mouth wash and cutting back on your pipe smoking frequency.

The man says he already found a cure for what ails him: More of the same, only slightly different.

My response should have had a shocked emoticon with it. 8O
+1 on the Biotene, I learned of it from this forum, so thank you, good advice.

The man (you) hopefully realizes others new to our hobby are also reading this, thus my post here, which may help others and hey, may be useful to the OP as well.

Rothnh don't play. . . :lol:

So, I went to abbreviations & looked up OP, not there. Does it mean Old People? Cause...I are one. 8O

 

[woodsroad]

"OP", I believe, goes back to Usenet days.

"Original Poster" (pre-gangsta-speak)

Rothnh don't play. . . [:lol:]

Howdy fes,
Yes sir, as I have reported here in the past; many years ago an old timer told me that whenever I got tongue bite, to switch to Captain Black White. He said it has some medicinal value for tongue bite. I tried it and it was like magic. My local pipe club members have been using the Captain Black trick to cure tongue bite for years now with almost a 100% success rate.
Best,
Pipestud

 

[woodsroad]

I'm a gonna try that.

I've been wondering whether or not to try out the CB White...You just synched it for me pipestud, thanks. ::

When I first started seriously smoking, but before I learned of this forum, I was smoking CB Gold--and suffered daily tongue bite. When I joined I learned from the sage Roth and others that aromatics cause tongue bite and suggested mixing CB and other aromatics with Carter Hall. I eventually dropped CG entirely for CH. Never had the bite since.

 

[jservant98]

Sounds like I will be getting some more CB white..LoL thanks for the advice!

A little "hair of the dog", eh? I'll have to try this...

If you don't have or cannot purchase Biotene, as it is $12.00 per bottle here in Canada, you may also use Hydrogen Peroxide. Mix it 5 parts water, one part Peroxide, swish, gargle etc, rinse mouth when finished.

Things that bit me once, rarely ever bite me again later on. I was thinking that Va's were not going to be doable for me. My tongue nearly split in half after first trying Red Cake, but I kept at it in between bowls of various aros and burly blends. Now, the aro blends that I first burned in the beginning bite me, when they never bit before. But, I can smoke Va's and VaPers all day, and I do :lol:
It must just be some weird PH thing. Also, I always see folks blaming heat on tongue bite. But, there is something different between the chem burn that I know as tongue bite, and the affect of too much heat. Too much heat makes my sinuses feel cooked. I don't think of the two issues as being the same at all.

@Fester: When it comes to tongue bite; a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

 

[latbomber]

I find a few beers work just fine! ;D

 

[chemistfox]

Jack Daniels always works for me. Cleanses the palate and whatnot. Also, tastes good...and gets you drunk. It's a wonderful product.

 

[joemcdds]

A little mentholatum sure works good for me....but I am going to try your way.
