I have a Churchwarden "wizard" pipe made of olive wood that my oldest daughter bought me for my birthday (bless her heart 
). It's not necessarily my style, but since she went to the trouble of saving her money, picking it out, and purchasing it then I feel I should smoke it!
I smoked two bowls out of it. The first bowl went well enough. Nice draw and cool smoke, but came up short of the bottom. The second bowl about a week later I smoked all the way to the bottom, and I noticed the taste and smell of burning wood. After I dumped the ashes I could see quite clearly chard wood in the heel, it looked just like a piece of wood that didn't burn all the way from a camp fire the day after.
Is there a way to alleviate this issue in this pipe? or should I just not smoke it all the way down? I fear at some point the walls may do the same. Any help would be appreciated!
