Back to some puffing.

Hadn't smoked on my pipe in a while. (bout a year). Pulled out my celler of stuff, and smoked on a few. All vendor made mind ya.
Planta Anno MMVI (Planta Pear)
Sutliff Barbados Plantation
H&H Marquee BlackHouse

All was good on them. Enjoyed my time and all the fun of smoking.

This Sunday I had to get some tires replaced, so I grabbed a pipe pouch I had, which still had some Lane 1-Q in it (from over a year ago). I checked and was surprised that it still had moisture in it. So, good to go.
Car getting worked on, I packed a cobb up with the Lane 1-Q. In a short amount of time, I got the worst tongue bite from it. Didn't finish the bowl, and my tongue is just recovering today.

So, WTF happened. I don't ever recall getting much if any bite from the 1-Q.
Did its sitting around cause it to morph into the mighty biter?
Or, am I or my tongue just a punk bitch that cant hold its OTC tobacco?

I think I will be trying some less PG laden tobacco for the next puff.

Did you clean the pipe well before you put it away? Did it pick up some moisture somewhere in storage?

I have 6 pipes. 3 briar and 3 cobb. Since starting back I have only used the cobbs.
Pipes were pretty clean when I went on the Pipe Hiatus. Pipes were still out as display in the house during Hiatus, so should have stayed pretty dry.

The other sampling I did were in two of the 3 cobbs and the time with the bite was only with the one.
I'll put a little rotation on to see if maybe I am getting a pipe specific issue and not so much the 1-Q.

Thanks for the reply, as I hadn't even thought about it from the pipe direction rather than tobacco.
