Cold Beverages Burning!

[GothPiper]

Whenever I take a sip of any cold beverage whilst smoking, it burns my mouth like crazy! But a room-temperature drink does not do this, and I've never had any issues with tongue bite in general.

Is this normal? I see posts of people all the time enjoying iced tea, beers, etc. with their pipe, so I feel like I may be in the minority here.

Is it just the thermal difference of going from hot smoke to cold drink?

I feel your pain. This happens to me when I smoke Virginia forward blends.

In my case it's tongue bite in the form of a chemical burn from the Virginias, not heat.

Like a hot pepper burn, eyes watering, heat overwhelming up through my forehead, shiver up my spine…. I don’t get them often, but I don’t hate it when I get it.

Like a cat getting a brain freeze?

Soda will usually burn but I find iced tea or water is fine.

I would pay to see that

No problems here.

That has never happened to me. But I find anything icy cold will numb my tastebuds to some degree

 

[mikethompson]

Never happened to me, not that that helps you any.

Could be the blend, your mouth chemistry, the stars, etc.

Find something that you like to sip while smoking and go with it.

Just about to say, cold beverages are never an issue but a quick bowl of ice cream after a long bowl of Virginia can sting a little.

No problem, where possible always like having chilled beverages(preferably containing some alcohols) with my pipe

I notice a slight sensation w/cold drinks, but it’s not uncomfortable. Hot, like coffee, has not effect.

Russ Ouellette once3 posted about drinking a glass of cold milk after smoking a bunch of VaPers. It was hilarious. I don't/can't drink milk anymore, but even the passing thought of milk brings back Russ's story.

I don't mind the eye watering chemical burn every now and then. It's not terrible, and the endorphins kick in afterwards like you've just eaten a pepper... or survived a car bomb, ha ha.

It does tickle a little if the drink is carbonated. Not exactly a bite or burn. Then again, my tongue must be like shoe leather by now.

If I'm puffing a little too hard, then sometimes a carbonated beverage will enhance the tongue burn. However, I think I've mostly cured myself of that bad habit of smoking too hot. I think for me that tendency was a nicotine craving thing, but since its been many years by now since I've smoked a cigarette, I've gotten past it.

Actually, I am smoking a lot of VaPers (including Russ' own delicious Viprati). Wonder if it's the hotness from the sweet Virginia combined with the Perique spice that may be affecting my tongue?

I'm starting to think I may also be smoking a bit too hot, honestly. I don't get bite during the smoke, but the affect of beverages lead me to think I might be irritating my tongue without realizing it.

I stick to my burley. I’ve never heard of such tobacco induced affliction.
