If you have a brand new pipe, it could take a while to break the puppy in. Start with 1/3 bowls, about 5 or 6 of them. Once a day or twice a day with a break in between is fine, but don't smoke them back to back, give the briar a chance to dry/breathe between smokes. Keep the pipe on a desk or table to air out, vertical with bowl down preferrably, never in a drawer or box.
Then 2/3 bowls again 5 or 6 of those. Same rest, don't push the pipe too hard.
Finally go for a full bowl, be sure to smoke it down to the bottom the first several times. A day rest between bowls is a nice break for the briar, don't want to get it saturated or stinky.
After about 5 to 10 full bowls, the pipe should start smoking dryer and cooler. Be patient, like a new girlfriend/wife/husband, pipes take time to tame and break in
