Try not to cross lines, in other words, do not smoke an aromatic then a VA or an English followed by an aromatic, etc. The main issue is ghosting. If you smoked a heavy aromatic and followed that with a VA, then you will not be able to taste the VA very well. Same with a heavy English followed by a VA, etc.
+1 with Mr. English. My Petersons deliver some sublime smokes, but I use aromatics for some, Balkans for others, and Have one dedicated to Virginia. Mixing tobaccos can lead to a muddied pipe, then you may have to treat it to get the muddiness or ghosts out. Mellow Mack, Shortcut to Mushrooms, and Highland Blackwatch are fantastic in my Peterson 264.
Hawk,
I only smoke non-aromatics and the blend I chose is one from a small smoke shop from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. So I'll be good to the bowl-aromatics only.
I wish it was a more well known brand because I am a slave to it and it is located over 200 miles from the home, and they don't have an e-mail site. Welcome to Wyoming. I would take advice for a nice aromatic,smooth tobacco, that is not only smooth to the taste, but also plesant to the sniffer.

I'm not much for dedicating but I do have an unsmoked Luciano Lovat that I'm thinking I might reserve for VA's. For the most part I've never noticed that much ill effect on my pipes with the various blends I smoke. Maybe my tastes just aren't sophisticated enough.
As for the Peterson, I have a B10 Kildare that has been a great smoker for many years. One of my favorite shapes.

I have dedicated pipes for aero's but aren't concerned about mixing tobacco in others. After a smoke or two I'll wipe out the bowl and run a couple of pipe cleaners and put it up. Now, if I was smoking bowl after bowl of the same tobacco most of the time I would delicate a couple of pipes as 'daily smokers'.
