I'm the wrong type of doctor for this but I have heard allergies can develop or disappear with age. Take a few weeks off and start slowly again to see if that helps. Like a reset.

Damn that sucks Brad. I will say this about ten years ago I developed a sensitivity to certain strains of hops and so I usually don’t drink IPAs anymore unless I’m ok with the sinus congestion later that night or the next morning. Lagers, pilsners, pale ales, belgiums, etc no issues at all, thankfully (I couldn’t call myself a Wisconsinite if I couldn’t drink any beer). I could try to figure out what strain(s) are causing it but I haven’t since I love almost all types of beer.
Anyways, good luck with finding a cure but if you don’t there’s a bunch of us who will gladly take in and care for your cellar….but it might have gone missing by the time your allergies resolve lol

Get a Lyme Disease test. This can happen after suffering an unknown tick bite. I know of one person who was having severe allergic reactions, and it turned out they had it. It can possibly be resolved it with Doxycycline. Long shot, but you never know.
Laid off alcohol for a long time. Still have some nice bourbons and try a pour every once in a while and it’s a still strong no go.
Saddens me to think this may happen with pipe smoking too.
I took Lisinopril for high blood pressure for decades; then I developed a terrible rash which the doctor said was due to the lisinopril. At first I didn't believe it, I didn't think it possible; but sure enough once I stopped taking lisinopril the rash was gone...
I feel for you. Hope everything works out. I'll pray for you buddy.
Sorry you’re going through this! Hope you get it solved, you’ve got way to much cobblestone hiking to give up smoking!
Hitting the nail on the head there.
What the point of have 148 tins of hiking if ya can’t smoke it…
Even covid may be involved. They say it may be related to cognitive system impairment, among other disorders. I'm really sorry. Hopefully it will be temporary and you will be well again, and enjoy your tobacco and drinks.
I gave up on alcohol. That’s chasing a lost cause. Body is way past the point of returning to it.
Pipe on the other hand…. I’m hoping there is still hope. If it don’t/can’t remedy……. I got a lot of pretty tins that I can at least look at…

Well, you were allergic to cats, but now you're not. Have you tried smoking a cat? I hear they require a lot of relights.
I think they bite a bit. Or is that scratch?
Next time the opportunity presents itself I will have to try.
Gives a whole new meaning to 'smoking hot pussy'
I learned very young I inherited an allergy to Hops ... I have only tasted Beer 7 times in my life and while I like the taste I never drink it. Even an ounce causes a reaction next or second day. No issues with other spirits. Also I have a reaction to the higher nitrate levels in Burley tobacco ,,, the smallest amount causes a chemical burn in my mouth.
I’d settle for a chemical burn vs what it’s currently doing to me.
I’ve smoked enough MB plum cake enough to live with the tongue bite.
Actually thought I was being poisoned…..
But don’t think I am being….
