McClelland Morning Mouth?

[bagpiper]

I often like to smoke a pipe after dinner, and many times have nothing else to eat after finishing a bowl before brushing my teeth & going to bed. I picked up a few McClelland tins - FMOTT, 3 Oakes Syrian, & Holiday Cheer - all of which I really enjoy. Especially the 3 Oakes Syrian. However, if I smoke any of the McClellands in the evening then go to bed, I wake up with the worst taste in my mouth. It's not a "smoker's mouth" taste. It's sickeningly sweet and tastes like antifreeze and it makes me nearly gag. I can't seem to brush it away and it isn't until I eat breakfast that it starts to dissipate. I guess I'll have to start smoking my McClelland blends earlier. Anyone else have this issue?

I've never had anything like this happen, and I don't smoke much else than McC's offerings.

It's that Latakia man!

No way dude! It doesn't happen with any of my other English blends and it happens with the McC's aro.

The three blends don't all share a single component either, maybe it's just a crazy coincidence?

Perhaps eating a few crackers and a large glass of something between finishing your bowl and heading to bed would help to cleanse the palate?

It might be impertinent, but do you scrape your tongue before bed? My dentist gave me a scraper, he said that it is a good idea for smokers to do aa scraping each time they brush because of residue buildup between their taste buds. It enhances the flavors again when I do smoke, eat, etc. Otherwise, perhaps you found the magical combination of tobacco to make antifreeze from, lol. :wink:

Getting up for a bowl of ice-cream at 3 am may help. If not, it's still fun.

 

[marmal4de]

unless you're lactose intolerant like me, then it's fun followed by agonizing.

Second the tongue scrapping. It makes a positive difference for me as well.

If it doesn't help with your particular circumstance then try the 3am ice cream. (-:

I guess I'll have to try eating before bed and scraping my tongue. It's definitely weird. This doesn't happen with any of the other aros or English blends I have tried from other makers, nor does it happen if I smoke McC blends in the middle of the day. Thanks for all your replys!

I've never had a problem like that with any McC blend.
