[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 521408, member: 1211"] To reiterate, I'm relatively new to cobs, so I have a question: is it common to have a bowl, here and there and out of the blue, to taste like total bitter, horrid crap? I remember it taking a handful of bowls to break in this cob, but it wasn't a painful process. It was really rather uneventful, but I definitely could tell when that wood insert burned off, got seasoned, or whatever happens to it. Months later (last night), I had the most horrible pipe I may have ever had. C&D's Big N' Burley, which is one of the blends I really enjoy in the cob. Nothing new or different in my preparation. THE WORST taste. I drank some lemonade, ate a brownie, ate some chips, had a tall glass of water, and I could not get rid of this bitter, awful taste from my smoke. I thought maybe I'd started to burn out the wall of the cob or something unusual like that. After inspecting the cob, I found no signs of burn-out. I don't see anything different inside the bowl. So, is this common for a cob to throw you a crap smoke every once in a while? Or worst case, do you think this cob has seen its days, and it is time for a new one? I hope not. I think this thing is barely a year old, and I only smoke it once or twice a week. [/QUOTE]
