I don’t know how to describe it but I have sort of a “sore throat” but not in a normal sick way, it’s a truly sore throat like I have a golfball stuck in my throat or got throat punched. It could be from drawing too much or just my body like, “woah woah woah, slow down there buddy”. Anyone else have this?
Does anyone get a sore neck/throat/lymph nodes after smoking too much?

You didn't get drunk and pass out at a gay bar did you? Playing beer pong, got hammered and killed a glass with the ball in it? If neither of those, if it persists, I'd see a doctor. Chances are, it's the onset of a cold or some other illness.
Unfortunately your having a allergic reaction to smoking. Only solution is to send me all your pipes and tobacco and try vaping some birthday cake flavored goop. 
The back of my mouth always gets sore and my voice goes all crackly, but I don't get soreness down my neck.
Lol, if by getting drunk and passing out at a gay bar you mean smoking my pipe on my commute home from work then sure
.
Does this happen with all blends, or only those which are higher in burley, dark fired or contain perique?
You might want to see a doctor if that persists
Sore throat may just be from smoking too much
But sore throat with swollen lymph nodes may be a sign of a throat infection or throat cancer.
I don't know how much is "too much," but feeling like your throat was punched is far from normal. You sound old enough to know what you should do without other people telling you.
I wasn't aware I could smoke too much.
Your body could be asking to see the doctor and not banter with the site members.

@fishmansf, it's possible the way you're clenching the pipe might be causing your throat and neck muscles to go into spasm. If that's the case, your throat and the supporting muscles will feel tender when you press on them. The feeling will be more like an ache than a burn.
See a doctor for safety sake. Perhaps modify how you smoke - cadence and rythym. What brand are you smoking ? Maybe switch and see if this changes. I am highly sensitive to burleys and get that if I smoke burleys ... so I choose to avoid burley blends to avoid those symptoms.
If I smoke too much of blends containing perique, I'll get some minor throat irritation in the form of dryness or a tickle in the back of my throat. Haven't noticed any sore throat from smoking and I do not inhale. When I smoke, I drink plenty of fluids (coffee & root beer) to help keep my throat moist and that helps.
When I first started, I puffed too hard and smoked my tobaccos too wet, which led to cooking my lymph nodes. It can also give you a sore throat feeling with mild flue-like symptoms. If this is the same for you, just lay off the pipe for a few weeks, and when you come back to it, dry the hell out of your tobaccos and practice smoking as slow as humanly possible. YMMV
Oh yeh, you can also find aloe vera juice at the pharmacy. I was gargling with that also to help expedite the healing. Good luck
