    Intolerance to Most Tobaccos

    I do that as well. The ambient humidity here is so high on the gulf coast of Alabama I was having to leave them out for days to see progress. I've been toying around with microwave and oven to help kick start it. All part of the fun/frustration of learning this hobby I guess. One thing that...

    I've been struggling with tongue bite as well for over a year since I started. I am on this rabbit hole also and even bought some test strips to test my ph and the ph of blending tobaccos in water. I agree and have confirmed that burley and VA are about the same on the slightly acidic side...
