So today was the first day in a while when I had a chance to have a pipe. I recently won a bid for a Captain Black pipe (2 actually), so I thought I'd try it.
I loaded it up with some Holger Danske Orange and Vanilla, but it didn't taste right...problem is I'm not sure if it was because of the new pipe or if it was cos I'd just brushed my teeth about 10 mins before. I think it was the brushing of the teeth...I really hope it was.
Does brushing your teeth affect the taste of pipe smoke to you? Is it just like anything else, e.g. taking orange juice after brushing teeth?

Yes, but it is still important. You also may want to get some mouthwash with Xilitol in it. That helps the pH balance of your mouth. Still, eat something like a piece of bread or carrot or anything that will mute the fresh minted taste of oral hygiene.

I always brush, floss, scrape tongue and rinse with mouthwash AFTER I smoke a pipe.

Pipes or cigars never tasted good to me after brushing, nor using mouthwash. I do those things after I smoke. I especially like a pipe after a full meal or coffee, or wine or cognac. (Somewhere in the Empire, the sun is over the yardarm)

(Somewhere in the Empire, the sun is over the yardarm) Good to know...I really hope it isn't the pipe. I must try smoking my legend after brushing my teeth and smoking the briar long after brushing to do a proper check. |

And, don't even think about smoking a pipe after sucking on a Cepacol cough-drop. Don't waste good tobacco.

Yo Lege
It's not the brushing itself that sullies your tastebuds, tis the surfactants in the toothpaste. Inspect the label and you will see trisodium whatever, blah blah laurate, etc. Try brushing w/o the toothpaste and see if that helps the taste issues.

Thanks Les,
I think my problem was smoking too soon after brushing. I never would have a smoke in the morning anyway so it's never been an issue before.
The reason for brushing was cos I was getting some afternoon delight (which would NEVER happen AFTER a pipe). So I'm happy to have a less than acceptable smoke on this occasion.

Either don't brush before smoking, or if for some reason you feel you must, use only baking soda or salt water solution (can accentuate tobacco sweetness at times, depending on the blend). Also brush your tongue well and then rinse mouth thoroughly to clear out all residual tastes from brushing agent. Wait a short while after brushing with the above recommended solutions for buds to normalize.
