    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    That is a good idea. I should get a notebook and record the specifics of blends that don't agree with me.

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    I agree. It may be just a seasonal allergy that will pass.

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    I think you may be on to something. I have smoked other blends that contain red VA and not had a reaction beyond mild tingling on the tongue. But other types of Virginia can be tingling to me also. Could it be a specific Oriental? I do know that MM965 and Nightcap have Orientals and I enjoy...

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    I haven’t tried any of these blends. I’m going to check out the C&D blends. Thanks for the recommendations. My dad smoked Half & Half when I was a kid back in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s to help cut back on the Winston's, before he quit smoking all together. I plan to try it for the nostalgia...

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    What are the burley blends that agree with you? I'm looking to expand my choices. It seems that most burley based blends also contain Virginia, and it usually isn't specified what type of Virginia in the descriptions.

    The Love Of Pickles

    We used to buy specialty pickles and pickled string beans, asparagus etc. I won't pay the current prices either. We just skip that section now and move on to the Claussen pickles if we want pickles for sandwiches.

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    Acid spray is a perfect description of what I experience with EMP. It is unfortunate that we are a very small minority that reacts so intensely to great blends.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Another windy day. Smoking in the garage again. I have been smoking Uhle’s Blend 00 almost exclusively all week. It is a nice, easy going smoke. Smoking it in the Ropp 32S this morning.

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    I might add an ounce of straight red Virginia to my next tobacco order and see how I react. That way I will know for sure if that is the culprit and then strictly avoid blends that contain it if I get a reaction.

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    After the first try I jarred it and let it set for awhile before I dared try it again. I gave it a few weeks and gave it a second chance. A few seconds into it my entire mouth and tongue were burning and I was done. l tried it at least one more time months later thinking that aging might help...

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    I have tried some straight Virginia and VaPer blends that I like and do not bother me. I will stick with those for an occasional change of pace from my standby burley blends.

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    I I appreciate the kind gesture. Unfortunately, I gave my remaining EMP to a friend who does not suffer from RVIS. 😉

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    I am heading in that direction. It is not a problem as I love burley.

    Instant Reaction To Peterson’s Early Morning Pipe

    I get an instant chemical reaction when smoking EMP. With the first few puffs I get a tingling sensation throughout my mouth. A few more puffs and my entire mouth and tongue are stinging bad. I have tried several times over several months and always get the same reaction. The first time I pushed...

    There's Nothing Like a Good Hard Shag

    Good choice. Just a note that this tobacco comes very dry. It is supposed to be that way. Pack accordingly and smoke slow.

    Missouri Meerschaum Cob Pipe PAD

    Meerschaum wasn't on my radar until I started reading the coloring threads on this site. It is very interesting watching the pipes change color over time. There are some beautiful pipes from smooth classic shapes to intricately carved figures. I am relatively new to the pipe, and I recently...
