Ugh. I Long To Taste:(

[shawn622]

Ok, is'd beem like 3 weeks since i got tongue burn. Thought it was bite, but upon further reading, I found it to be a scalded tongue. Well i have adapted and evolved as a pipe smoker and haven't really had much discomfort since day one. A lot of minor irritations, but since i learned the "sip and enjoy" method it's been smooth sailing. However, I barely taste anything. Haven't in about 3 weeks now. I just ate a bunch of jalapenos on a pizza and nothing but the burn. No flavor I can only taste my tobacco by forcing the smoke to my palate. So have i ruined my taste buds???

Depending on how badly you scalded your tongue it may take some time for it to recover. I went through a similar experience when I started the pipe as well. I think that as long as your tongue doesn't hurt, you should be ok.

Ruined,,,No

Just take a break from the pipe and hot (temp) foods.......

Take a break from the pipe huh???? Ugh!!! Then i would have to go get a can of copenhagen or a pack of smokes. Lord.... I never wanted to go down those roads again, especially the latter of the 2 I hate cigarettes. I never smoked more than like 5 in a day. I only did it to ease off a can of copenhagen for 25 years habit. No i dipped since i was 10. Habitually since i was 12. A can a day since 16-17. I remember a can of Kodiak was 75 cents when i started. that was 1981. Hmmmmm. Maybe it wont be so bad. I inhale the pipe like 1-2x per bowl so nic habit shouldn't be too bad., I think the action, ritual, and relaxation factors will be tougher than the absence if nicotine. BBZZZZZTTTT.... :idea: Uberam3rica is sending me some nasal snuff. It should be here tomorrow or monday... That would be flipping lovely... Ugh, but then i also have a tin of Cerberus coming monday too. This is not good. I see myself smelling all my jars of lovely tobacco over and over again for a week and sniffing snuff like a madman... I'll look like micks avatar :rofl: I need to stop whining. My lord :roll:

It should be here tomorrow or monday

Tomorrow is Sunday, so you won't get it tomorrow. I live in Michigan, so you will probably get it Monday.

Lmao. It's been a crazy day Uber man!!! My kids are trying to kill each other i think. They are a year and a week to the day apart, and but heads like crazy... Your a lifesaver man. I so didn't want to dip for a week!!! ty

The spicier the food you have, the less taste you will have in your tobacco. My drink of choice is grape Propel Zero. You know I am dieting but fruit especially grapes cleanses my pallet and zero ww points. I refrain a lot of times tho just to make sure my smoke tastes good. Spicy foods I love. i rather not eat them at this point in my life because I want to taste my Virginia's

I went though this my first time out as well, seems like it took several weeks for my taste to come back. It was probably longer for me because I am hard headed and wouldn't/couldn't stop smoking.

 

[auspipe]

Had the same thing happen, very little taste from the tobacco but food/drink tastes fine. No tongue burn that I know of though. Might have to take a few days break.

How are your sinuses? You may not realize it, but if you are having swelling in the nasal mucosa or sinuses, your taste sensations will be muted, as would some smells. Maybe a little hay fever? Something to think about, anyway. A little Sinutab...

I recently discovered that a bowl of chilli with tons of Ghost Pepper hot sauce in it will ruin your pallet for at least 12 hours. It was... interesting.

 

[hawk60ce]

As well as ruin something else for another 12 hours..........

Try flushing your nose with saline solution a few times a day and also exhale the smoke through your nose some, you can get more flavor that way.

 

[shawn622]

Well crap... All I eat is spicy food. Guess a change of diet will be good for me. I took the day off from smoking, but broke down and smoked some Peter Stokkebye Bilkan Supreme and i must say it is some fine smoke. I actually tasted it without forcing the smoke to my palate. I think maybe i was just smoking too much. I'm going to cut it back to 5 bowls spread out through the day. I think i was at about 8. Thanks for the tips!!!!

I could really tell a difference in flavors after I started doing a nose exhale once in a while it does make a difference.

Had it happen reciently, I took a few days off and my tastebuds were happy.
