I like Presbyterian a lot but every time I smoke it I get a headache. I don't think it's from nicotine, I regularly smoke much stronger blends without any issues. Has this happened to anybody else?

Sorry, I've been into the rum that my daughter bought me. I'm a bit of a facetious drunk. 😁
Don't blame the Rum. You're just as facetious as always. Just a warmer more socially outgoing facetiousness if you ask me. My first thought was what that seems down right sociable for Embers. The rest of it was expected. What am I saying? I am saying we need to get more rum into your blood stream more often.

Though what's fun is you could get a headache from so many things. It could be a reaction to any of the herbs and other stuff used to smoke cure the latakia. It could be something to do with how you smoke it. it could be a topping or anything added to the blend. It could even be psychosomatic as well. You got an unrelated headache one time and now your body expects it.
It might even be a total coincidence. Maybe it's one you like to smoke when you're extra stressed? How much of a headache is the other question. A slight one? maybe you get more smoke in your sinuses when you smoke that one. Massive one?

Put the date on the jar and revisit it in a year, or 2. If the headache persists with that first future bowl then you can get rid of it for good, and if there is no headache then whatever bio/chemical reaction was happening has stopped. Trying to figure out the exact cause will bring on a separate headache.
