How dedicated Are You

[TonyN]

Strict Dedication*
The pipers that dedicate one pipe to one blend enjoy tasting every single nuance of a particular blend. They don?t want any other flavors intruding on the flavor of whatever blend that they smoke in that pipe. They don?t want any ghosting at all to take place. They have one pipe dedicated to one blend and that is the only blend smoked in that pipe until they want to change the blend. If you smoke less than ten different blends, this is OK. But if you are an eclectic smoker, who likes a lot of variety and smokes a lot of different blends, it will get very costly because you will need a lot of pipes.
Pros
?You will get the true flavor of a blend and every subtle nuance
?You will taste the intended characteristics and flavors of a particular blend
?There will be no ghosting effects on other blends because you smoke only one blend per pipe
Cons
?More expensive (than No Dedication and Genre Dedication) - You will have to own a lot of pipes if you enjoy smoking a lot of different blends
?If you want to smoke a certain blend, you have to smoke the pipe dedicated to it
?If you want to smoke a certain pipe, you have to smoke the blend dedicated to it

Interesting idea, I'd not considered 1 blend 1 pipe. I am new to pipes & still trying out blends. I have more than 10 but I have 4 favourites. Might need another pipe or 2 [emoji3]

English

Aromatics

don't think you need a pipe for each individual tin just the broad blend

I have a couple of thick walled pipes I dedicate to aromatics, one pipe dedicated to lakelands and a group of three to English/oriental. I have two large pipes that I smoke whatever I have the most of at the time, I haven't decided which type of blend to dedicate each one to yet. I'm really into English/oriental blends at the moment and really only smoke aromatics once in a while, so I haven't really given much thought of which one to dedicate to any type of blend.
