Well fellas it was a great weekend. I picked up 3 aromatic blends (Butternut Burley, Trout Stream, and Danny Boy) I must have went through 6 bowls, I know it seems like a lot for a noob but I couldn't stop. I wanted to try out each blend. Each one was truly a great experience. I experimented with many different puffing and lighting techniques. Mostly just trying to keep the bowl lit. That's where I think I mess up. Things got way to hot....Needless to say I have a pretty mean case of tongue bite today. I'm going to take a few days off and try again when my tougue is back to normal.
Trying to remember to keep thing SLOW and COOL (sip sip

).
I think ill try drying out my tobacco more too. Some blends felt sticky to me?
