Alright, so I have been pondering this one for a while after tasting a somewhat ghosted pipe for the first time. I have a pipe that I smoked a ton of Exotic Passion in when I first got it, then decided to smoke something with more of a burley background. I could taste the fruitiness from the Exotic Passion through the burley. It wasn't bad, but got me wondering.
If you designate pipes to certain blends or styles, is it possible to actually change that pipe to another blend? The main reason I ask, is that in my year of returning to the pipe, I have been smoking a little of everything in one pipe or the other without really minding which pipe I smoke which blend in. If I do want to designate a particular pipe to a specific blend or style, what would be the best way to make that happen so as not to taste any previous blends that I've been smoking in that pipe? Coffee ground treatment? Deep cleaning with a saltwater bath?
I just never really considered when I started that I might want to designate a pipe to this blend or that blend, so if one were to try and "reset" a pipes taste in order to do this, how best could it be done?
