Ba hahahahahaah.... I love you guys :D Always a pick up. I read about Brylon and NEVER!!! The name is scary. Something about putting a fire to something that's a mix of chemicals and briar dust that's unnerving. Fisher, I did none of those things!!! My neighbor smelled the pipe smoke in the hall and said it reminded him of him dad that passed 8 years ago. Then he said hold on, and went into his place. He came out and handed me a mecico, bulldog style briar. Said it was his dads and he wanted me to have it. He got kind of emotional on me. Told me to "Fire it up.". So i went in and grabbed some Peterson's Sweet Killerhey that shaintiques was kind enough to send me. Had a bowl of it early and loved it. Though it had a great room note, and would be something that my neighbor would enjoy too. I packed it. Lit it. And Whamo... Tongue bite :twisted: I had managed to go since my first day without it. Of course i was on the spot and had to pretend like it was the best bowl i ever smoked :crazy: so i sat and talked to him about his dad with a big ole forced smile on my face, puffing on this bowl from Hell... Finally my sons saved me, God bless em!!! So i thanked him, marched into my office and posted this thread. Tongue isn't too bad though. I found that this mix of mint Lysterine and hydrogen peroxide does wonders for tongue bite, thank God. Hope you got a kick out of this story guys. It will be one i tell several times in my smoking career 8)Thanks for the advice. Its duly noted!!!
