Hey all. Do any of you ever have to "take a break" to let your mouth or palate recover?
Last week I smoked way more than usual for me when my brother stayed for a week. One of the first nights I seemed to get actual tongue burn....so after he left Sat morning, I gave it a Couple days off.
Friday I smoked Escudo, from an open tin approx 2 months old, seemed dry enough....and it was just unenjoyable. Like a harsh cigar.
After 2 days not smoking, I tried again last night. Capstan blue, dried for 1 hour, folded and stuffed. It was a flat, unenjoyable smoke with no sweetness whatsoever.
This morning my tongue again feels burnt. I've smoked both those blends before with no issues like this.
Thoughts? I'm thinking about taking a full week off....
