Re: Your Meerschaum
I'll have to check some of those brands. I decided to smoke my cobs yesterday and remember why I keep going back to cigars. Although I've got the bowl packing part down better (I've had the most success using the "frank method"), my tongue still ends up suffering quite a bit. No matter how hard I try to "sip" and go slow, my tongue gets cranky. Although I did smoke several bowls throughout the day, ranging from aromatic to VaPer blends. I tried drying the tobacco out a bit too, to reduce the steam. I'm not sure if it's a PH thing, or the heat/steam, but it doesn't seem to bother me much while I'm smoking, only after. My tongue feels pretty raw today. In the past I've definitely overdone it where I went too fast and felt it burn my tongue, but this time it wasn't apparent to me until I went to brush my teeth and gurgled mouthwash. OUCH!
