Smoking dry all of a sudden, WTH?

[Branzig]

Don't ask why.

Just roll with it!!

It could be all that, can't argue with science and stuff.

But, I bet you are just finally not spitting and slobbering as much

Did your cobs even smoke wet? Or only briars?

Yep, in my experience, you have to try pretty hard to get a cob to smoke wet. You'll fry your tongue/mouth making a cob smoke wet.

I've found the biggest factor in bowl moisture is stop smoking so danged fast, Bruck!

^ This.

I'd say a good chunk of it is tobacco moisture and packing, but even more of it is technique. Once you get your cadence down, a lot of the moisture issues disappear.
