I totally agree. I have a couple of pipes that I smoke Lakelands in and will enjoy a Va as well about once a week. I like the aroma/flavor that the ghost brings.
If you really like the flavors of the tobacco that is doing the ghosting, I suppose that would work. Seems more logical to me to just smoke the ghosting tobacco you prefer though instead of getting hints of it while smoking crappy tobacco.
I think he's saying if you spend money on a baccy thats not to you standard. Smoke it in a pipe that has been ghosted by something you do enjoy. That might make that baccy better to smoke and not a waste of money. Which is always a good thing.
