THIS IS A FIRST

[perdurabo]

I recently dedicated a briar to C&D Jolly Old St. Nick and finished the tin. So I decided to do the ghost test. First bowl of Haunted Bookshop and the ghosted HB is wonderful. In fact I may say the ghosted HB is better than the St Nick. Anyone else experience this with an aromatic?

This is a pipesmoking equivalent to buttered buns. keep your perversions quiet, you freaks.

Penzance is nice in a pipe with a vanilla ghost.

I like a mild English in a pipe that"s just had Black Frigate. Not exactly a ghost, but I get a very subtle rum aftertaste. Exquisite.

I often like to smoke an English/Balkan in a Vanilla ghosted pipe.

I'm far from an aficionado what with the limited blends available on the dark continent, but ghosting has never bothered me.

I agree that a vanilla ghost can be pleasant.

I'll have to give this a shot. I really love Jolly Old St Nick

If I have a pipe that is ghosted I have never noticed it..

I've got a couple of cobs that I keep to the side for the rare occasion that I smoke an aromatic. I've found that I enjoy occasionally smoking a burley blend in them. Smoking burley in those pipes makes for a tobacco-forward experience with some vanilla and other common aromatic notes in the background.

Great idea, lawdawg! I too sometimes want just a whisp (a ghost?!) of aromatic flavor.

I like this post! Great ideas on taking advantage of ghosting. I’ll have to try this.

Sure, all the time. That's why I don't designate any pipes. A little holdover isn't bad. The only blends I would avoid, without designating a pipe, are Lakelands aros.
