I thought you were a nice fella, but you just offended Suzy Creamcheese! Shame.

Weird enough, of the 6 months of smoking a pipe I never seem to have one, but keep seeing people talking about it, or maybe I had it but am not aware? Never had any tongue discomfort even from the occasional freight train, what exactly does it feel like?

It stings on the middle of the tongue.

It feels like spike snow tires running back and forth over your tongue, then rinsing with rubbing alcohol and salt. Afterwards, it tastes like chicken.

It gets like a burn and worn out.

Don't worry...you'll know when you get it!

Try rinsing your mouth with Listerine after smoking a bowl or two of any tobacco and you'll get a hint of what tongue bite feels like.

Some of us don't get it. I never have.
(And I smoke mainly MB VAs these days - the most commonly cited culprit.)

I strongly suspect that there's something to the chemical theories, because I can't believe that my technique has always been better than others.

If it relates to a body's PH, that would explain why some get it and others don't.

It's not about technique and it's not steam. If a tobacco bites you, it'll bite on first puff and it'll bite even if the tobacco has just been lit. I know folks who gave up the pipe due to the bite and I don't blame them. There's nothing pleasurable about it.

I know what you're saying, I used to think that the slightly rough and weird feeling after a pipe was tongue bite. It wasn't until years later that I smoked Mac Baren Plumcake in the wind and learned what real tongue bite is like. It's sometimes painful, but it's always so strong that it takes a few days to get over. "You'll know" isn't much to go on, but it's definitely true. A slightly rough and odd feeling isn't tongue bite, like I used to think.

Maybe I haven’t experienced it either then. At any rate I’m not going to quit my pipe

Kinda like this.

I don't completely buy that. It's something that seems like it can come from multiple factors including the just happens. But if you go to fast it certainly is more likely.

Try to eat some chili. I think that's how it feels.

What Does Tongue Bite feel Like? :: General Pipe Smoking Discussion

To my understanding - please correct me if I'm wrong - the bite is due to a chemical burn (smoke and ash are alkaline, some kind of tobaccos can create a more alkaline smoke than others). The faster you smoke, the more smoke you create and keep in your mouth, the more you concentrate this...

Great minds...

Drinking citrus feels sharply painful the day after.

But, how is it pronounced?

She does have weird looking thumbs.

I’m sure she knows how to use those toe thumbs.
