My choices for dedication vary. For blends that have pipes associated with the tobacconist, I try to pair that pipe, i.e., a Wilke pipe for Wilke tobacco; Barclay-Rex, Drucquer & Sons; Blatter & Blatter blends in their respective pipes. Sometimes, it’ll be a tongue-in-cheek connection: Cornell & Diehl Pegasus in a Longchamp Pony Hair leather wrapped pipe or War Horse in a Ferruccio Savinelli Figural Horse pipe for the equine link. Sometimes, I’ll commit a Savinelli blend to a Savinelli pipe; same for Peterson (although several I have were really Dunhill blends earlier)—or in the instance of the Peterson 4AB, Wilke No. 515 because it was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked in that pipe in several Sherlock Holmes films.
I used to loosely associate finishes with types of tobacco: light for Virginias, dark for Englishes. I’ve reached a point where I’m beginning to dedicate pipes to specific blends rather than genres of tobacco because I have enough pipes to do so.
This is all mutable, though, and subject to change if I feel like it.
