that is what people say but some say it's just a plain ole steam burn (which goes deeper than other burns). No matter what it's a rite of passage for pipers (just annoying Mr. Embers).

trust me .. if you huff and puff hard enough it will happen, and you will know unmistakably what is going on
To answer the OP. Frank Zappa smoked a ceramic pipe and with the Mothers penned the album: Weasels Ripped My Flesh. I’m betting it was tongue bite, and that’s what it feels like.
How the hell do you find these things? And so fast!
People talk a lot about getting tongue bite from aromatics but I've never felt that. On the contrary, I've scorched my tongue thousands of times with tobacco too wet or too dry, bad packing, etc. Plus the Virginias bite if I'm not careful. I burn my tongue quite easily with hot food, so sensitive tongue I guess.
So, I'm not so sure that tongue bite is even close to the excruciating pain caused by listening to Frank Zappa. I would opt for a few kidney stones before I'd allow his noise to be played in my truck, ha ha.
Maybe, it is close to the pain caused by Alice Cooper, but not nearly as terrible as Zappa.
Believe me if you ever experience tongue bite you will not forget it.
Oh come on man, Zappa was not only an amazing musician but he was funny as shit to boot. Though he was known not to take drugs (he was already weird enough), (I heard that) mushrooms can really enlighten your listening experience when putting on a Zappa record... or movie for that matter... Baby Snakes anyone?So, I'm not so sure that tongue bite is even close to the excruciating pain caused by listening to Frank Zappa.

But I get it, Zappa certainly ain't for everyone.
For the sake of this forum, I am talking grocery store white mushrooms, you know, the kind you put on your pizza.
Mac barens cube. Whenever I see tongue bite it's the first thing I think of. Amazing aroma but man stung like a wasp
It has only happened to me a couple times but namely when smoking HH Pure Virginia from MacBaren. It was more of a chemical bite but it feels like a scald on the tongue. Not a great feeling! I steer clear of that blend now for obvious reasons.
I have this weird feeling you know what you're talking about. I have to ask where you there? And please tell me you're not pulling our legs.
if you want to know what if feels like buy some Macbarrens and puff as hard and fast as you can. You won't taste anything for a couple of days and never ever have to ask this question again.
Like you have cleaned you tongue with sandpaper. Cube cut tobacco and McBaren (except HH blends) do it for me
Damn! If I was there I’m too old to remember or I addled my brain passing that pipe full of Mixture 79.
darn I need to try that stuff. Love that there is a possibility you were there. For example I know as a fact I've never met him.
I thought you were a nice fella, but you just offended Suzy Creamcheese! Shame.So, I'm not so sure that tongue bite is even close to the excruciating pain caused by listening to Frank Zappa. I would opt for a few kidney stones before I'd allow his noise to be played in my truck, ha ha.

I s’pose I’d have to know something about Frank to get that reference.
I did meet a fellow about 20 years ago, at an after party at The Alabama Theater. He said that he was a studio drummer for Zappa, and he told me some rather amusing stories about how particular Zapp was with his music. He went on and on about 13/8 time or 8/13 time that he wrote the percussive sheet music out in. And, I was surprised. I couldn’t believe that shit was actually planned, ha ha.
Very interesting. I liked his approach to music when I was younger and it led too the same in jazz. Don Ellis used strange time signatures and had a big band and played a quarter-tone trumpet that he invented. It had 4 valves! You should google him if you have any affinity for jazz. “Pussy Wiggle Stomp” might appeal.
His band was booked by a clueless agent at a Long Island supper club the night before they were to appear inCentral Park. The crowd was completely unprepared for his weird band and as they left the club I moved closer to the stage. It was, at this point, where I realized what a horses ass the booking agent was.
Earl “Fatha” Hines was dutifully playing Happy Birthday for the appropriate tables and kindly accompanying the waiters!
Anyway……I digress……
