    So how do "YOU" deal with tongue bite

    I've been reading some "advice" given on other sites and was wondering just
    what y'all do to prevent or diminish tongue bite.There is on thread that defines
    tongue bite as a chemicle reaction.The author gives information as to the acid/alkalie
    scale and the position where saliva would fall.I have always held and been told that
    tongue bite is caused by water vapor/steam and that a slower cadence would solve
    any issue.I have noticed there are some blends that feel a bit like good five alarm
    chili,but a cool drink will calm those down quite nicely.So for me it's slow sipping and
    a cool beverage.And should I actually have a lasting burn a small vacation from my pipe,
    usually about an hour.What's your take on this?

    Bite happens...

    I just learn what types of tobacco bite me and take it easy with them. I don't avoid them altogether, as some very good tobaccos tend to give me tongue bite, such as many burleys and some aromatics (which I do generally avoid). Virginias and English blends tend not to bite me.

    If you let the tobacco dry out some, that tends to lessen the bite. Also, smoking slower and cooler helps. And finally, if I've got a biter, I'll just smoke one bowl of it at a time, rather than one after another.

    PS, don't do this:

    You oughta know not to stand by the window, somebody see you up there.

    I tend to slow down or stop all together for the moment.

    Good question Matt.

    I've found it to be cadence or chemical. Orange juice can help if bite is due to alkalinity. Slowing down always helps in either case.

    If I smoke a lot of latakia I can get a spot on my tongue that gets sore (all the smoke hits that spot), so I just cut off part of my tongue

    I had that problem with FVF. Loved it rott, but had a bowl a month later and thought my tongue was in a beaver trap. Haven't found what to do yet, so I just let it set....

    Like my father before me, I will work the land,
    And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand.

    Hate when that happens!
    (Insert obligatory "I'll dispose of it for you" comment)
    But really, FVF should tame with age. Just be patient.
