Nah! I let mine cool long enough to fill it up again! Only risky bit really is moisture at the bottom getting the cob soggy, but you've got a hardwood plug so you should be fine.
I'm of the mind briar doesn't need rested as much as everyone says either, but that's a story for another thread.

Best way to settle the issue? Buy a bunch of 'em. I've got about 20. The General and the Wizard are real nice for a long smoke too.
The only issue I have with it so far is that the stem is loose.
I folded up a pipe cleaner as small as I could and soaked it in water and stuffed it in the shank for a few hours.
That tightened it up some.
I agree with Tom. I don't think any of these pipes including my briars are as fragile as a lot of people claim them to be. They're pipes. Stuff em and smoke em.

My wife told me if I bought one more *ucking pipe she would cut my nuts off, dry them out, drill them with a chamber drill, drill an air hole, stuff a straw in each air hole and then sell them on Ebay as a set and call them Eunuch pipes. :

My loose stems tightened up over time, so I figure yours will, too. Some I've gotten where the stem seemed to fit initially got damn tight over time!
I feel (and possibly imagine) that mine smoke a little cooler if I let them dry for a couple of hours between smokes, but I've never heard anyone recommend resting them for extended times.
Enjoy!

My favorite cob is the CG, a great smoker. As far as multiple bowls go, load it up, I have not had any problems with one bowl after the other.
Smoking a CG with Mississippi River as I type this as they just seem to go hand in hand.
No doubt that cobs are resilient, but I always give mine a rest as I don't like them soaking up too much moisture. Of course if ya only got one or two... don't be overly concerned about it. As for giving briars a lengthy rest I personally think it's overblown a tad, but as you accumulate pipes (I've never had all that many) it's only natural that each pipe will get a decent enough rest when you have many to choose from. As for the filters... toss them. Just an unnecessary screw in the machinery that serves no purpose and something else to be concerned about, purchased and changed on a regualr basis.

I tossed the filter.
I ordered myself a Bent Diplomat and a few extra stems from 4noggins. At just under 9 bucks for the pipe and 0.89 cents for each stem, heck, I figured I can't go wrong.
