I Just started smoking a pipe shortly after fathers day. I got a starter kit from MM and some Great Dane Tobacco with it. I loved the great dane, I had absolutely no problems with it at all. The only issue I had was getting a little overzealous with the pipe cleaner and stabbing a small hole in the bottom of the cob, oops.
Okay so here is where the advice comes in I guess. As the great dane was running out I ordered also from MM some American patriot and another cob, eager to try other types of tobacco. When I opened it up it smelled like barnyard, like a fair to be exact. Chicken cages and smoke from grilling. Well I smoked it and it tasted okay but something felt wrong, and after smoking it a few times the roof of my mouth felt itchy and I felt like my mouth was swelling a little. Time has gone on a little bit and the barnyard smell kind of has gone away entirely. Ive tried taking out some of it overnight and smoking less of it. That itchy feeling hasn't happened again but it certainly doesn't feel comfortable and is causing me some anxiety.
Where should I go from here? I'm not exactly made of money kind of bummed about the american patriot. I've read that the Amphora sampler is a pretty good buy for beginners, I haven't really seen many stories similar to mine every definition I read of tongue bite involves pain I haven't seen anyone describing feeling itchy like if I ate pineapple it makes my throat itchy kind of the same feeling but on the roof of my mouth instead. No pain at all.
