Bad Taste?

A new pipe I got this week has me frustrated and scratching my head. It's a new briar poker, never smoked out of. I have smoked 4 bowls in it. English twice, Virginia once and a local Vir/Per. I have smoked all of these tobaccos in several other pipes without any issue, and love them all. This pipe is different. It doesn't matter which tobacco I smoke out of it, I get a hot, steamy smoke (even Gaslight, which is not what I experience from other pipes with this tobacco), and at some point during the bowl I start to get a bad taste, kinda like gurgle juice, but there is/was no gurgle or juice (yes I ran a pipe cleaner in it to be sure), it's just the best way I can describe the taste. I clean the pipe after every smoke just like my other pipes. I do not blow juice back in the bowl when I'm done. I use pipe cleaners only and swab any moisture out of bowl with a q-tip after each smoke. I also can taste the briar.. I think.
Is this just a young (not aged) briar I'm experiencing and will go away when the pipe is fully broke in? It's little discouraging, and it's caused me not to want to smoke out of it anymore. But I will if advised this will go away in time.
Thanks ahead of time for your help!

rigmedic1, Thanks for those wise words. I wasn't sure if the maker would matter, but it's a Rick Black. I have several other new pipes I am smoking and breaking in that I don't experience this with. But they are, an Old Nellie which is oil cured tho, and 2 Moretti pipes, but they age their briar a min of 10 years in the shop before they use it, and 1 Larrysson Poker (breaking in fine no issues) so I was thinking perhaps this is just what a "normal" pipe taste like to break in.
Thanks again,
