Go-to Blend For Curing Tongue Bite?

[PipeIT]

Per the article someone linked the bite comes from low ph caused either by a tobacco that is alkaline like a burley or a tobacco that is high in sugar and smoked to fast also resulting in low ph. So chemical induced tongue bite comes only from low ph, at least that’s the way I understood it.

Go back and read it over slowly. You missed that there are several parts involving heat, steam and water vapor that also change the conditions.

Yes, got that. But the article posited that alkalinity is a main culprit.

+1 on the D&R blends. I dont think any blend will "hell" with bite but if you want to smoke through or keep smoking D&R, carter hall or butternut burley does the trick for me. Butternut burley cannot bite. At all

Anyone else have a blend they turn to when the tongue starts to get sore?

Tobacco's/blends that give my tongue burn is usually at the start. I'll run a pipe cleaner through the stem when moisture start entering the mouthpiece mainly during the first 1/3 of the bowl. If the pipe wants to go out, let it. For me the act of trying to keep a pipe lit is a root cause for my tongue discomfort.

When I have tongue bite I find that coating my tongue with a teaspoon of honey to be very soothing. Tea or coffee
with honey helps as well
