I jest! New pipe smokers please disregard!!Yes. Cherry has natural oils that cure the unused pipe. The trick is to smoke the goopiest cherry tobacco you can find and to smoke an entire tin. This will allow the oils to work. Afterward you will be able to enjoy Virginia's without the briar taste interfering with the smoke.
You must "pop" a new tin of Cherry Tobacco.
It's a large world. There are worse things to put inside a pipe.
Or, so I've been told.

I do have an American Indian pipe made of antler that has a heavy cake and a very mellowing effect when I smoke tobacco in it, so I would call that a friendly ghost! I just can’t say what the former owners might have smoked in it or if it was even tobacco!?I've actually enjoyed HU Jerry Saronno! I just wouldn't break in a new pipe with it unless it was I a pipe I expected to smoke aromatics in. Having typed that, there are those who prefer a ghosted pipe. No skin off my back.
Yeah, unused, definitely! Cherry tobacco for a virgin pipe!Damn, I had typed out four paragraphs when I decided that I had better read the OP before just responding to the thread title... and that will teach me to read more carefully. I confused the word “unused” for “unusual.” Now, I’m not sure what to say, except... cherry? Smoke what you like and like what you smoke.
