First id like to say thank you guys for your tobacco recommendations before, i selected some good stuff, I got an awesome new pipe, life is good.
I have a multipronged question. Basically I am seeking healthy longevity in pipe smoking. Currently I take care of my general health, brush, floss, use bioteene sometimes, etc. thats all fine.. But I feel that my greatest weakness is in my smoking technique.
I was wondering 2 things, 1. is it possible to stave off of tounge bite by drinking a cold drink while smoking? Would this actually work?
2. when 1st litting my bike ive learned to take short quick puffs to get the pipe going, its easy to burn your tounge in the beginning. does anyone have any tips for not getting tounge bite after that? even just regular smoking, even if im going slowly and lightly, the gradual build up of constant heat and smoke can burn my mouth. its not always from a quick puff.
3. what about the cooldown, i think it would be smart to do something directly after smoking a pipe to reatore tour mouth asap. maybe a salt rinse or something? any ideas?
let me know what you guys think. I tend to get lazy, and that could cause serious problems for me down the line. might as well reduce the risks and learn early.
