Hello and welcome from California Happy to have you here, friend.

When you say "English pipe", do you mean a pipe that was made in England? Or a pipe previously dedicated to smoking only English blends?

Welcome from North Carolina.
I have dedicated pipes for different genres.

Welcome from Colorado! I don’t dedicate pipes… yet. Maybe someday, but I doubt I’d notice any ghosting that may occur. My taster isn’t at that level yet.

Depends on the aro for me. I'll use any pipe to smoke an aro like Edward G Robinson... but for aros like G&H Ennerdale or JA Dragon Flake, I have a pipe that's dedicated to aros, though I will smoke a bowl of burley in my aro pipe if I am changing to a different aro than what I had been previously smoking in it.

It just depends how much a given aro it wants to ghost.

I have dedicated pipes now for English, burley, Virginia and aros. I used to not, but I also used to alcohol clean them on a weekly basis. Since I am too lazy for that (just shank and stem cleaning once a month), dedicated pipes now (that and because burley is delicate and easily influenced by prior smokes no matter what kind of smoke it was, in my experience).

Yugoslavian pipe.

For me i divide non aro into 5 pipes

1. Latakia based (English, Balkan, or Scottish),
2. Orientals or VaOr,
3. Burley or VaBur,
4. VA neat,
5. Virginia Periques

You can group 2 through 5 into one pipe as they don't ghost. I do notice subtle changes so I decided to separate but its not necessary right away. Latakia ghosts. So if you have minimum 3 pipes you can start. I would caution on Latakia in a cob. Some like it some don't. You'll have to see for yourself.

Hi and welcome from central England.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

to this day I go without dedicating pipes to any given blend, although in that rare case If have gotten G&H Lakeland parfumed blends I got few older britwoods and one Stanwell reserved for smoking these aforementioned like more heavily cased tobaccies

[dublinpiper90]

Thanks,I have a pipe dedicated for English blends and my aros but I was unsure about like a Virginia

 

[dublinpiper90]

I’ve been a pipe smoker off and on for 10 years or so, I have always smoked aros mostly I have tried English blends 1st was early morning pipe and night cap, night cap seems to be a whole lot stronger both are good smokes, I have a pipe that I smoked aros out of but was trying to covert it to a English pipe any suggestions on coverting it over to english

Welcome from the Space Coast of Florida, don't smoke aros personally, i find that i get all that sweetness from Straight VAs and some VaPers, if i did start to smoke them i would probably have a pipe just for those.

I use my pipes. And if you do dedicate pipes you'd want a pipe for each style or blend. Like a VA or Burly pipe.
