I would not think much of it if it happened after say six months, but this is say after two bowls in some of the pipes.. One large one I smoked like mad for three weeks on my trip did not crack until I returned to CA.. Is it the smog? Can't be the heat as it was much hotter in AZ and even FL.. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.. I'm going to put off buying many more until I can get this mystery sorted out..

Must be either a bad batch of cobs (Missouri Meerschaum stand behind their products) or else you're packing your tobacco waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too tightly
