[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 392068, member: 2318"] Mr. glpease' site has at least one very good article on this topic. My experience is as follows: It takes too much energy to dedicate every pipe you own to a single blend ... There's no benefit worth the effort to dedicating ALL your pipes ... There may be significant benefit to dedicating SOME pipes to the major food groups -- Va, VA+P, lats, aros. ... But the way to do this is to let the pipe do the choosing while you passively sip, observe and take notes ... Do NOT buy a pipe and decide, ready or no, this briar is getting 965 and 965 only. You may be ruining the perfect host of a Virginia ... Most of my pipes did not show a marked preference for one genre over another, so they get smoked a lot with a lot of different tobaks ... At some point we all have to decide if smoking a pipe is done for relaxation and enjoyment, or if we prefer the neurotic distraction of developing rigid tho arbitrary systems and compulsively following them, which is by no means unusual. Neurotic, yes. But unusual, no. [/QUOTE]
