Try one strand of tobacco first and let us know. Might scorch the bottom nicely. Tho, I don't recommend it. Full bowl all the time.
Is it okay to smoke a full bowl of a new pipe ?

Oh yeah I mean tongue bite was the first thing I conquered. And it wasn't much effort as much as just feeling more cautious while smoking and going more gently because ouch. But the guys I know who like smoking like that (like three guys so even in a small group a minority) know they are the cause of the burnout.
I would think that temperature and relative humidity play a part as well. Living in an extremely humid environment and smoking outdoors in cold weather is going to produce condensation, as I have experienced firsthand.
Pack more loosely to allow the ember to burn off the excess moisture.
I don't want to break your new pipe, and I'm definitely no expert. However, I think a lot of Youtubers and stuff online is nonsense. I always just smoke it right away full. There probably is a small chance it could mess up your pipe ever so minute that it might be. I've never had an issue with the 11 pipes I've owned, and I've always smoked a new pipe all day for weeks I don't even rest them. That's another debate though. Just saying I abuse pipes and haven't broken a bowl. I did have one with a defect but it came that way.
Btw worth noting if this helps; The pipe with the defect is the pipe that brought me here. I was yold to keep the pipe and given a refund. It was odd because it turned black minutes into smoking and then cooled back to normal color. The pipe to this day still smokes and changes colors. I've abused it for a long time now. Some here may remember the pipe. This is the pipe today and second is the pipe the day I got it. You can see it still cools back to semi normal. But, goes to show how hard even a defected pipe can be pushed.

I've never had a problem with full bowls on an new pipe. Just smoke a bit more gently for the first dozen bowls until you build up a bit of a carbon insulator.
I never even thought to ask the question so I hope not? Though most of my pipes are cobs, not a lot of $ in them.
I always break my pipes in with a full bowl. If after several smokes there is not much cake in the bottom third I will them smoke a full bowl very loosely packed so that I do indeed burn tobacco all the way to the bottom. Typically this will be in a larger pipe where I do not always make it to the end of the bowl.

I don't think it matters. I have a Pear wood, Briars, cobs, and some Chinese cheapos, I don't even know what they're made of (probably something toxic), and I haven't had an issue.
