I recently took a walk on a cool autumn day smoking a bowl of LJ Peretti's 'Thanksgiving Day' out of a bulldog no name English briar, a pipe that presents this blend very favorably. Well, half way through my walk I realized that it was much more windy than I thought it to be when I began. My pipe was burning to fast and too hot. I put it away in my coat pocket and went back home. Days, and now weeks later I find this pipe to have a 'burnt' flavor when smoked. I'm assuming the bowl got too hot from the wind. But I've never experienced this flavor or situation before. Has anyone else? And if so, any advice on how to overcome or fix it?
I've thought about deep cleaning the bowl, and reaming it to maybe rid the burnt carbon, but i hate to start over on my carbon build up if i can help it.
Just curious if anyone else has had this happen, and what did you do to resolve it?
