Do some blends/tobaccos behave better than others? Or is it simply user error that determines this?
When I first started smoking pipes back in the early 2000s I had a couple cases of tongue bite. One that was particularly bad came from Mac Baren's Scottish Mixture. I assumed that blend was perhaps better left to a more experienced smoker and I moved on.
I've seen that blend specifically suggested for beginners, and it got me thinking- maybe tobaccos all generally behave well enough, provided they are properly dried, packed, and smoked?
Well-Behaved = no biting, stays lit, provides a relaxing and enjoyable smoke
Thoughts?
