[QUOTE="Ozark Wizard, post: 526312, member: 3652"] Dedicated pipes to my specific smokes..... Rattray's Bagpiper's Dream. I used an Osage Orange poker that I smoked Virginias in to season it. After the first bowl, I could pick that pipe out of a crowd with one sniff. That was that! Another Rattray's blend, Exotic Orange/Passion. I knew better this time, made a pipe for it. Dedicated. Ennerdale and Grasmere Flakes. I can switch hit these in the same briar restore I got from Kaitlyn a few years back. A conical bowl seems to keep the flavours alive to the end. I'm pretty sure I could put straight Latakia in that pipe and it would taste like Ennerdale. Speaking of Latakia, I tend toward really light applications to blends, and though I do have a few pipes I prefer to smoke them in, I really don't notice any ghosting, even in the cobs. A lot of burley blends seem to make for a persistent nut and molasses flavour to some of my pipes. I've a Yello Bole doggy that always adds a touch of Carter Hall flavour to whatever I load. But I've had smoked burleys in that one forever. I put a Christmas Cheer in it once and it tasted like Peretti Thanksgiving blend. Never again..... There was a cherry blend I ran across once that severely ghosted a black walnut warden after a couple of bowls. Maybe Lane's? I eventually gave it and the blend away to a CIG smoker kicking the death sticks. He loves it! Otherwise, any new pipe generally gets seasoned with Virginias, unless I plan on using it for burley. Once they're seasoned, most bets are off for what I'll run through them. Most of the aromatics I smoke other than those previously mentioned simply leave a vague sweetness behind. I'm sure there are others though that might be bold. [/QUOTE]
