I was smoking a bunch of mac baren danish mixture this year. I stopped when I couldnt hack the flavoring they used. The maple sugar wasnt as heavy as with original choice, but the berry component just made tongue bite. And i couldnt deal with it any more.

Keeping the partially used tin in my car for a week, with temps under 50 at night, i never tasted the maple sugar, just a real light vanilla on top of actual tobacco. And no hint of berry.

Have had the tin inside the house 5 days, and its over 70 degrees temp. I load my first bowl up, the vanilla is barely detectable, the tobacco taste is minimal.
It felt like smoking borkum riff vanilla did 20 years ago.

but half way through the berry came through the flavor and started torching my tongue.

How would a simple change in storage and tobacco temp, change the flavor.

I may be onto something. I only started pipe smoking a bit over three weeks ago, as I give up cigs.
I definitely over did things. Bowl after bowl - drawing enough to blow 8 thick smoke rings, then hitting it again immediately.
Never understood how anyone got more than 10-15 minutes out of a whole bowl of tobacco.
I think I fried my whole month. And now waiting just 2 or 3 days isn't enough to recover before returning to the pipe.
Maybe I just need to hang it up for a week or so?

Biology and physics. Temp effects how active certain molecules are and our taste buds also react to different flavor components at different temps. It would be impossible for temp not to effect flavor. Also humidity is a factor as well and temp changes humidity. Basically both the tobacco and your senses are effected by temps. It's no different really then food. Cold coffee and hot coffee are made of the same things but taste wildly different for the same reasons.
I know personally there are a few aromatics I love to smoke when it's bitterly cold but find too much when it's summer time.
Smoking a pipe is interesting because there are many tiny things that have little effects on how the tobacco tastes, but the key is many things. That many things can make some of the changes hard to pin down and almost seem magical.
Another great example would be brandy or cognacs. The difference between a warmer brandy and the same one chilled are two different things to experience.
