I think I found part of my problem. My tongue. I burnt it pretty good several weeks ago on soup. I took a break on the pipe for a couple days and when I started up again I think my tongue wasn't fully healed and it was burnt some more. I've had it for so long I thought it had gone away(gotten used to the feel/taste) but definitely my tongue feels like fine sand paper and I have an almost metallic taste in my mouth. To confirm this to be the case I smoked one of my highly flavored aromatics and had no taste at all whatsoever.
So I'm going to take a week or 2 off from the pipe to give it a chance to heal and then try the Virginia's and VaPers. Unfortunately I just got a tin of Haddo's Delight in today and it smells fantastic but I can't smoke it.
