Can't explain why, but most likely the taste will come back once the chamber is "seasoned" with a half dozen bowls smoked.

I was scratching my head wondering what was the reason, then I decided to try to see if there was any cake left... And there was A LOT.
So I really removed all that I could this time, and used bourbon to clean it once and for all. Now it's smoking great again (never mind the charred rim/bowl - stupidities of a newbie).

Now keep it under lock and key.

Dude. That was a great thread. Thank you for posting it. It made for excellent reading. I am glad your pipe is back to normal. That is great!
Hope you don't have to lock up your pipes from the maid in the future.
