Simply, what causes a sour taste when smoking, why does it happen, and how does one cure the problem? Is this a sign the pipe hasn't had sufficient rest time? Urgent!

Time to just tear it down and give it a good cleaning.

Pay real attention to the gap between the tenon and the bottom of the mortise. Q-tips and alcohol should do the trick.
But: is this just one pipe? Sudden onset? No changes in your health, diet?
