Hi gentle people,

I was wondering whether a ghost flavor can be removed from a pipe with barely any cake, simply by smoking a different tobacco in on?

It should. How long it takes is the question. I would make sure the shank and mortise are truly clean. I mean that a pipe cleaner comes out clean soaked in the highest concentration of alcohol you have. What kind of blend you plan on smoking in it will make a difference too.

Yes, that works. I watched Ghost Busters last week, "I ain't afraid of no ghost!" Most blend's don't leave much aftertaste. Anything with deertongue or Lakeland is more likely to leave a taste. Some people dedicate a pipe to a type of tobacco, aromatic, latakia, etc. Others just smoke whatever combo that strikes their fancy at the moment.
Buy a cob or clay pipe. If you are worried about a particular blend, use that pipe initially, so you know how it behaves.

Ghosts, by their nature, are ephemeral :D
On a more serious note. All ghosts can be smoked out. Some will take longer but they will disappear eventually.

Ran one of these threads the other day, Find a burley blend you like, and smoke the ghost out. That seems to be the advice around these parts. I am leaning towards Dunhill's Elizabethan Mixture and Carter Hall. To each his own.
