One Pipe - One Tobacco??

[haroldt]

I'm so impressed with the activity this silly question I posted is getting. Thank you so much. Honestly, in my first go around with pipes 1970's - 90's, I never dedicated any - each pipe there shot at what ever tobacco I had. When I posted this question, I thought most folks would reply in the same respect as I had smoked "no dedication" Interesting to see that most folks that have answered seem to have some sort of dedication.
phred:

not familiar enough with the various types to be able to tell whether I'm getting the true flavor of a specific blend, or whether I'm getting some ghosting

That's sounds like a very strong reason to have a dedicated pipe.
To all... thank you

I have one pipe just for Dunhill flake, I find when I smoke other tobaccos (even other VA's/Vapers) through it and then go back to the the Dunhill flake I find it effects the taste.

Any baccy in any pipe. I always did and never found a diff.

I have three or four pipes for Latakia blends. If I am in the mood for one of these pipes but not the Latakia I will smoke a Viginia in them and I don't notice any ghost or if I do I'm not troubled by it. The majority of my rotation are reserved for Virginias and I won't corrupt them with English blends. I don't segregate based on Va-Per or Va-Bur or individual tobaccos I just enjoy them all in my Virginia pipes. Any more I rarely smoke aromatics.

I have pipes that do better with flakes than anything else, so I don't smoke anything else in those.
Just yesterday, I had an absolutely amazing bowl of C&D's Star of the East in a Boswell that I've been using for English blends. It was beyond wonderful. I like SotE but it had never tasted like that. If that happens again the next time I might dedicate that pipe to that blend.

Interesting - today when I logged in, this article by G. L. Pease was on the home page - it fits in with this posting

I have a couple pipes I put non-aromatics in as I tend to smoke more aromatics.
