Burnt hair not biscuit

[Zerozeddy]

Had a bowl today where I felt the predominant taste was "burning hair" rather than the official flavour of custard cream/vanilla. Feel it was me doing it wrong rather than anything else. Am I mis-perceiving things?

Do you have a big mustache and were you smoking a nosewarmer?

Do you own cats or dogs?

If you're fairly new to pipe smoking, aromatics aren't going to be very friendly. Pack them extremely lightly and smoke them slowly and near the point of going out.

several things could be happening. All of them are something being done wrong. Could have tobacco contaminated with hair. Could be the pipe. Could be smoking too fast.
Totally agree with Embers and that's the best place to start on this one.

Is your pipe clean. If you aren't cleaning your pipe after every smoke eventually it's going to give some unpleasant smokes

 

[Gerald Boone]

I agree with Andrew that it may be your pipe and not your tobacco. My pipe will always smoke best clean. That said lets hope your tobacconist doesn't have a dog. If I was a dog and could go to a tobacconist shop one of those bin would be my new dog bed and I would be in dog heaven.

If you're smoking in your "birthday suit" remember to strike matches away from your body

Think the "cleaning" issue probably it. Was out and about and smoked 2 bowls (one before and one after a rugby match), making a beginnery assumption that that would be ok and could clean it later. Perhaps not!

Hopefully it wasn't a head injury...

At some soccer and hockey games the spectators get more injuries than the players.

As long as it isn't bacon grease. Unless you're into that.
