I noticed that one of my pipes with a decent (but not too thick) cake is having a hard time. A small piece of the carbon layer got off the wall and now there's a small hole. Not a big deal so far but is this normal? Should I ream it to the bare wood now (since the hole in the cake goes all the way to the wall of the bowl (hopefully not any farther)? Is this a first sign of a burnout? It's a Savinelli, it would be strange if the quality was in question. I'd like to use it as long as possible so ignoring problems with cake doesn't sound like a good idea.
