I bit the #@$% out of my tongue yesterday. I could stick the tip of my pinky in the hole. I thought about going and getting stitches but being the tongue it closed up right away. Now today the main part has closed up but I have a flap that looks like it is going to stay that way, a flap. Anyway, I have not had a cigar in 2 days. When it heals I may have to go get it cut off.


Do you guys stop smoking when you get a mouth sore, you bite your cheek or tongue?

That sucks man. I bit a chunk off the side of mine once nothing feels quite like it. I guess it grew back. You might want to give it a couple days before you fill your mouth with smoke.

I bit my tongue bad about a month ago. I could have put a pencil eraser completely in the hole with no problem. When it happened it hurt and bled so much, I thought for sure I would need a stitch. After the wound healed, there was a large flap left, that I just chewed off after a while. I id not smoke while there was still a hole.

ouch! I'm no MD, but I would venture to guess that it will either heal back or it will fall off. What did you do to bite your tongue that hard?

Sorry to hear that, I've bitten my cheek before and got a sore, but not my tongue. I've burnt my tongue before and it took awhile to heal.

If you need me to come over and smoke the cigars you had planned on smoking, let me know. I'm here to help a brother! :)

eating soup, with some jumbo shrimp. Serves me right, you should never eat an oxymoron.

Dude! I hope you'll excuse my laughing my ass off at you right now, only because I've been there, done that. When my flap got good and numb, after about a week or maybe a little more, I snipped it off, very carefully, with a JD-sterilized nail clipper. Try that if you want, just make real sure it's dead first, and don't cut too close.

WoW, now that takes balls! :sadstare: To cut away at your tongue with a nail clipper *sheesh*, It's hard just picturing it.
I bit my tongue quite a few times never that extreme, but most of the time when your skin heals it rejects the dead tissue. Im not sure about the tongue because it stays wet. I just think it'll take a little longer. Hope all is well

Yikes!!

It's so weird to see this thread because I, too, bit the shit out of my tongue last night.

I bit it waaaaaay at the back of my tongue. So far back, in fact, that the pain makes it almost feel like I have a sore throat.

I smoked a cigar tonight, and it didn't give me any grief at all.

Hope yours heals okay! That sounds nasty.

Damn, I didn't know that Jonathan Drew was making nail clippers now too! :stretchgr


(Oh, I was waiting for some smart arse to say Brian bite his tongue because he was talking out both sides of his mouth again....thank God that didn't happen! :stretchgr)

I try not to do that, I just try to say what I think.
