Yes, from time to time, there can be a number of reasons for this.
It’s often a simple matter of fatigue, caused by the pipe(s) being to heavy or ill balanced, i.e. placing to much of the pipes weight on the stem and your jaw, smoking more often than normal or holding the pipe to tightly between the teeth.
Hadn’t given it much thought prior to your posing the question.
Today, as in the past when this happens, I’ll either smoke lighter pipes for a few days or hold the pipe in my hand when smoking.
Experience has shown, this happens less frequently the longer you’ve smoked a pipe, and a pipe that may be to heavy today may not be down the road.
Hope this helps,
