[QUOTE="idbowman, post: 521410, member: 2165"] You might just have some buildup in the shank or stem...lousy smokes happen once in a while (not exclusive to cobs, of course). The only time I've noticed a cob being particularly bitter, I also notice more moisture near the end of the smoke - I'm not sure if that's causation or correlation, but I doubt it's a coincidence; of course, you didn't mention a lot of moisture, so this may not be relevant to you at all. I wouldn't be worried about wearing out your cob that early if you haven't seen signs of burnout. If the cobs a "good" cob (ie, MM or another reputable manufacturer), I'd chalk it up to a bad smoke not a bad pipe. I've got cobs I smoke quite regularly that have entered their second decade of service. [/QUOTE]
