I tried to get as much pipe smoking in as possible this week for one reason or another and I think I burned out my tongue. My nose isn't so happy either. I only had a few bowls a day, but most were fairly robust blends - Night Cap, St. James Flake and today Happy Bogie. After the Happy Bogie experience I tried to calm my senses down and maybe taste something sweet so I lit up some Shenandoah. I tasted and smelled almost nothing at all. Later in the day on my drive home I smoked a cigar and got nothing.

So I'm hoping this weekend by giving my body some time off from tobacco altogether I will regain my taste and smell.

Has anyone else had this happen?
