Okay, hopefully I am not alone in my random experience.
Just the other day I packed my pipe with a blend that I had thoroughly enjoyed the day before, and proceeded to light up. However, it just didn't seem right; the taste was off or something. Was it possibly just my palate telling me it wanted something different or didn't want a pipe? I just was perplexed and tried another blend, same thing. Just nothing tasted right for some reason.
The only thing I can think of is maybe my taste is a bit off with all the pollen and crap in the air.

That stuff just happens. Could be the humidity, could be that for some reason you are packing with a heavy hand that day, could be what you ate or it could be palate fatigue...could be anything but I definitely have those days where noting tastes good.

I had that just a few days ago as well but it was only with Lat heavy blends, none of the ones that I love tasted good. Thankfully, a couple of days later everything was back to being right in the universe.

If you still maybe take the occasional nail, then smoke your pipe that can throw off your taste. It does me, some times despited my best effort, I take down a nail.

I guess it was just an off day. I rested my good ol' tasters for about 24 hours and seems as though I am back to normal. Just smoked some Newfound Blend (Burley and Bright blend from Gatlin-Burlier) in a cob and boy was it good! Thanks y'all for the input.

Welcome to the world of pipe smoking, the world where a duck isnt ALWAYS a duck, sometimes its a telephone. Blends can have an off day, not really sure why

I hate when that happens. A good aperitif will cleanse the palate; sometimes brushing ones teeth again will do the trick, or trying a different pipe. I have had a pipe go sour after one bowl before.

Are you taking any meds? Anytime I myself have had an issue like this it was related to meds.
