Was it a new tobacco?

It was Lane LL7, I have smoked it numerous times with no outcome like this. I have not changed anything. What makes me say it had to do with the pipe was the taste of the baccy was way off from what it normally tasted like in the past.

Doc in training: Like bobarian said, be careful. If there was something in the smoke, it very well could swell up your epiglottis and block your airway. If you even feel the slightest hint of your throat swelling, start heading to the ER; and if it gets worse, call 911/EMS. Epi pen is good to have around for these cases. (Not to scare you too much, but with this swelling of the throat, it is almost impossible for some doc's to get your intubated--ie the tube down your throat to put you on the ventilator; and instead they'd have to do an emergency trach--cutting a hole in your throat so you can breathe! So do be careful!).

adding to what others have said ...

If you feel any swelling or anything that seems like an allergic reaction, take the benadryl. The sooner it is in your system, the faster it can do its thing.

There aren't many instances where taking a benadryl when you have the onset of hives and other allergy symptoms is completely contraindicated.
