I'm not a huge aromatics fan, but I bought 4oz of Scotty's Trout Stream to have around in case the mood strikes. I bought it because of the room note, since my gf is not keen on the smell of most tobacco smoke. I chose Scotty's in particular because of all the reviews stating how it isn't a typical goopy aromatic, and burns drier than most without leaving soggy dottle.
Does anyone have enough experience with this blend to say whether or not I ought to dedicate a pipe to it? I don't want to do that because I won't be smoking it regularly/often, but I also don't want to sully one of my English blend pipes and taste butterscotch with every bowl. I've only smoked it once so far, in my meerschaum pipe. I enjoyed it well enough, but I won't be smoking it daily or even weekly.
I have a few briars and one meer, in case that helps form your advice.
