Aero to English

[jsiddle]

I have heard you dont want to start smoking aeros in a pipe you have already smoked english blends...
my question is can i convert an aero pipe into smoking english blends? its only a couple weeks old

 

[sixmp]

Yes, it may just take a few bowls to get rid of any ghosting

 

[papipeguy]

I dedicate only one pipe to a specific blend because of deer tongue in it. The rest I just load up and smoke. You'll be fine crossing over. Enjoy and happy smoke rings.

J, I can say that I have gone the reverse & have gone from English to aro. I think with proper cleaning one can switch. It may take a very thorough deghosting proceedure depending on the aro you have been puffin on. Salt & alcohol treatment perhaps.

[captainprophesy]

yeah none of those are real heavy English... you should be fine... after a few bowls should get the ghosting out of them... especially since you just started a few weeks back.
That Penzance is a hard one to find... might want to hold on to that one... if you want you can send it my way for safe keeping :P

 

[jsiddle]

seems pretty dry already though

 

[cigrmaster]

js, the luxury bullseye is a vaper flake and the Dunhill Flake is a Virginia. Turning an aro pipe into an english is no problem, shouldn't take much to get that ghost out, the other way around is more difficult to get out in my opinion.

 

[captainprophesy]

ahh ok, never mind.. I thought the tin was still sealed... well then it's no good now man, you dont want to smoke that at all... here send it to me and I'll dispose of it properly... no seriously its the least I can do :P

 

[smeigs]

I have never had any problems switching between blends with any of my pipes. I have noticed if I smoke a pretty stout blend that the taste will stay in the bowl for a little while. But other than that I can switch between the two with no problems. Sometimes I have to do a little extra cleaning to get the strong stuff out.

I'm an "any blend, any pipe" kinda guy...

I'm an "any blend, any pipe" kinda guy.

+1. I've even mixed aros with an English's, often with positive results.
But I have 1792 on order and for that, I am going to use one of my least favorite pipes to test. And a full stomach. And a small bowl. ::

 

[jsiddle]

Very cool guys, thanks much for the information, probably give some english blends a try tomorrow...
Tonight, I am headed over to a buddies house with my GF so itll be the 4 of us, including his wife, and we're gonna
kick back and watch movies and eat...
Gonna take my new pete and show it off and bring some 1Q along for the ride

.I love it!Buyin it by the pound to cellar..GOOD CHIT :D

 

[taerin]

I go back and forth all the time, I grab any pipe and fill it with any tobacco I feel like. I have never had a ghost ruin a smoking experiance.

 

[pitchfork]

Echoing what others have said, you're probably fine switching to some latakia/English blends, but I'd save a clean pipe for those Virginia tobaccos. I'd also save the Penzance for a clean pipe, too -- fantastic stuff and very hard to get.

 

[philip]

I have re-dedicated several pipes without any problems.
I wouldn't worry too much about ghosting until you have learned to distinguish all the subtleties and nuances of flavor and are starting to do some serious reviews.
Latakia is the only thing that is really likely to ghost your pipe and even then it may not be such a bad thing. Who knows? You may even find that you enjoy some of the ghosts.
I'd suggest that until you have gained a good deal of experience and have a good number of pipes, just smoke and enjoy.
