embers, did all the combos work or did you have to adjust a couple? I have been smoking nothing but 2012 Aslteys no 44 Dark Flake in my Weaver Volcano and it is spectacular.
Do You Dedicate Pipes To Only One Blend?

No. I tend to smoke flakes more often than not from ones with wider bowls, but that is only a tendency.i will smoke any tobacco I like in any pipe I own.
I had to adjust the cut of the blends in a couple of them but I still smoke the blends originally intended for them in them.
embers, that is pretty cool. I have bought most of pipes based on how well I think they will smoke my flakes, but none for a specific blend.
They were top favorite blends and I wanted to add a little whimsy to them. Black Frigate conjured piratey images of islands and volcanos. Yenidje Highlander is heavily oriental forward. Oriental leads to Asian imagery like fugu blowfish. They were all paired psychologically. Even the ones he gave me as gifts were paired that way.
Yeah I separate them. Especially since blends with latakias leave a pungent aroma for a good while.
I used to, but then I realized because of it there were some pipes that weren't seeing as much rotation. Now I pretty much have whatever blend in whatever pipe.
If I was into Lakeland or English/Balkan blends then I probably would dedicate those to certain pipes.

I have a couple of pipes that I dedicate to English blends with Latika but otherwise, do not dedicate pipes. I should say that I smoke mostly Lane BCA and Butternut Burley and those are nice blended together so I don't see the need to dedicate pipes to those. I need to branch out and try different tobaccos. I have some Escudo and Nightcap that I tend to use the same pipe for. Churchwarden got me onto Old Toby which is a fun smoke. It's a little sweet but very nice for a late night snack.
I agree with whoever it was that said he could smoke anything anytime in his cob. I have a number of MM cobs and they are amazing. I have seen several here that say that all they have are cobs and never have to worry what they put in them or how often they are smoked. I have some very nice briars but if I could only have one pipe it would probably be a MM General.

I use mainly morta, clay and meers and I clean them with hot running water after each smoke. Doing so there is no need to dedicate them to a blend or genre as I never had issue of ghosting them doing in that way. I use a cob to taste new blends just in case they are something weird.
I dedicate pipes to Latakia and for SG,GH and other British style tobaccos. I have no problem with Va and Va/Pers in the same pipes. I also dedicate pipes for Kentucky and any kind of Burley forward tobaccos.
