Try it well dried out IMO. I couldn't be doing with it until I tried drying it.

What does it mean, "might be the pipe"? Can pipes make the tobacco bite you? If the pipe has a problem what is the solution? Get rid of that pipe? Or don't use it with that blend? What can cause pipes to do this?

There you have hit on a great question, and I would add one that most of us have wrestled with a number of times.
Yes, it could be the pipe. It may not smoke anything worth a hoot. On the other hand, you may find a tobacco that will smoke great in that pipe. Pipes can be very picky in what they like. Try the tobacco in a different pipe (I suggest you buy a cob. They are great for trying new tobaccos and won't break the bank.) A different tobacco in that stinker of a pipe could also make it a favorite smoker. Experiment with different pipes and different tobaccos and you will be surprised at all the differences, some good and some not so good. But that can be half the fun of it.
Good luck in your quest.

Re: Mouth bite
I just came across this post and I also have experianced "pipe lip"..... slightly rough skin on the inside lower lip near where pipe stem contacts lip....Goes away in 48 hrs if i do not smoke. I was suspicious of Burley tobacco, but just recently purchased a Kirsten pipe and the problem vanished, I am wondering if the sensitivity is to a certain flavoring agent or humidifying agent or just sensitivity to the 3000+ compounds supposedly created when we ignite tobacco? The Kirsten pipe stops alot of this from ever getting to your mouth, but also cuts way down on the flavors you taste as well. I am still experimenting but thought i would chime in.

Re: Mouth bite
What does FVF stand for? Seems like a popular blend.
