[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 526378, member: 2318"] Couple thoughts for you. In general, I start with the idea that wide, shallow bowls iike Lats, tall, skinny bowls like Vas, bowls that are neither here nor there get to pick their fave by patient use. Since Lats are not to your liking, I’d say “trial by fire” and patient use should guide you. I agree that burleys leave a murky, swampy taste in a pipe, particularly if you smoke half a dozen bowls in succession. Remedy: smoke some hot Va’s in it. Give it a rest. The reason Prince shapes have that rep is the bowls are usually pottish and the smoker controls the burn in the rubbing out. Purely personal, I only dedicate a few pipes to particular tobacco, and even then the dedication is to a particular style, not brand. Sometimes I want to smoke a particular pipe, but do not want my system to force me to choose a particular tobacco. My system may not fit your affection for aros. Yes, Lakeland tobacco will leave a ghost, and you’ll notice it almost immediately. (I don’t mind a ghost personally.) I do have a few pipes that seem to like practically any tobak that has a wee pinch of G&H Conniston cut plug in it. I thought this would leave a Lakeland ghost, but it hasn’t. I used to use a few Condor crumbs for the purpose, but no mas, alas! [/QUOTE]
