[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 452695, member: 2318"] The draw on an MM is wide open, and a small bowl, plus tight packing, plus heroic puffing might affect taste for the worse. If you get a new MM and lightly puff it with no tobacco inside you'll notice a sweet corn flavor. But after a few smokes, it should be neutral. Now and then, I come across a rec to use small cobs as testers. I disagree. Use a larger bowled MM. I have couple 20-plus year old cobs that at this point have bowls that may qualify as charcoal briquettes ... But they smoke nice and cool. Anyway, avoid cobs with small bowls, and I'm predicting a better experience. They do not have the personality of a good briar, and they might not be the best for a complex English, but they're always willing. [/QUOTE]
