I drew a puff and it tasted sour

[jenssenkuek23]

It has been three weeks since I smoked the pipe. It is going good. Learning to cope with the breathing rhythm and relighting. However, towards smoking half bowl, I drew a puff and it tasted sour. The second one and the rest of the puffing seems to be tasting fine.
What am I doing wrong? Bowl is not too hot I can tell.

What tobacco were you smoking?
Some components of some blends do have a sour taste. Maybe you hit a dense patch of a particular leaf.
Did you relight a half bowl after a rest when it happened or was it the middle of a continuous smoke?
Sometimes a re-lit bowl can get goofy for a minute.

I was smoking Mac Baren's Bronze. It was a middle a lighted bowl it seems.

Did you have any gurgling or feel an resistance just before that sour note?
