[QUOTE="tslots, post: 567575, member: 245"] New pipes go through a break-in period, with some requiring more smokes than others. I've also found over the years that some pipes are just odd and will only smoke certain blends well. If you are not having any issues with draw or burn, then you can likely discount construction. As was mentioned earlier, a good cleaning might be worth a try. However, I'd recommend the salt method, as many do with older pipes that have "soured". Put a pipe cleaner down the stem - just poking into the bowl. Pack the bowl with kosher salt and then fill with higher proof alcohol (drinking not rubbing). I prefer bourbon as I already have plenty on hand ;) and I enjoy the imparted flavor for the first couple of bowls. Let sit for a couple of days, then dump out the salt and clean out the bowl and stem with fresh alcohol ensuring no salt crystals remain. Dry out overnight and try again. You might try sticking with one blend for several smokes before moving on to a different one. [/QUOTE]
