I know there are a few blends that will very quickly ghost a pipe. Im more interested in the more standard fare.
I got an estate yesterday. It was clean but when I smoked a lighter blend I tasted lataka as the bowl progressed and got warmer. The Shank was clean. Finally I dumped it. I sanded down to wood. It was almost to bare wood but spotty. Ghosts gone.
I found it curious. While I do have a couple of pipes dedicated to a blend I wondered it a pipe needs to be heavily smoked with Lat Blends to get that way. In other pipes I smoke lat, vapers, and burley. I never detect ghosts. Also, Ive wondered...Does leaving a pipe full of spent or half spent tobacco to sit around for periods of time result in increased ghosting?
It isnt a big deal but curious minds wander![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
