Default MM Cob question

So I recall reading somewhere that the pine shank inside the bowl should eventually burn off. I was wondering how long does it really take? I thought I had read somewhere that they will burn off in as little as 6 bowls and I know I have way more than 6 bowls in mine and it doesn't even appear to be close to burning away.

How long does it really take for the wood to burn away?

If your tabak is smoking a bit wet then that'll prevent it from burning to, or nearer, the bottom of the pipe (such as any cob will burn to the bottom - mostly the don't). If your pipe ends up with soggy dottle near the bottom try a less moist tobacco or smoke some half bowls to move the process along. Do you still taste burning pine near bowls end?

Most cob shanks char in after 5-10 bowls.

My last two were stellar in less than 10 bowls. Puff on.

Thanks.

Yes I still get the charred pine flavor. Perhaps I need to limit to half bowls for a while.
