So I always have a smoke on my way into work which is a 40 min drive.
Problems I got is wicked tongue bite. I've tried tamping more. Tamping less, drying tobacco.
Still get it. Anyone got any advice?
People dramatically underestimate how much volume of air you move in a large "puff" and how little air you actually need to move in order to taste the tobacco.
Just holding the stem in your mouth you'll still taste the smoke even if you're not consciously drawing on the pipe.
Just running some rough calculations and wild guesses, I'd say an average person's mouth can draw about 200x more air than is in the stem of the average pipe (bringing up a small amount of fresh smoke from the bowl), so if you draw to filling your mouth to capacity you're probably drawing 200x more air than you need to, and even if you drop that by an order of magnitude to what most people would consider a "Small Puff", you're still drawing about 20x more than you need.
Drop two orders of magnitude from a "Large Puff" and now you're in the right ballpark.
Keeping the pipe lit then becomes a challenge if you were under the impression that your puffing is supposed to fuel the ember.
This is where the "Old Codger" blends can be a great asset (and Dunhill blends tend to be cut very fine), they're made to burn nicely.
Flakes get a lot of attention from long time enthusiasts but if you're new to the game try running with training wheels for a while.
