So this afternoon I had a bowl of bagpiper's dream in my mm legend. It was so so.
I was out with colleagues so I had another bowl in the same pipe. This time it was Carter Hall. It was my nicest bowl of Carter Hall that I've ever had.
It got me thinking...
Do you think that the first tobacco has had some kind of effect on the second tobacco?
Have you had two different tobaccos back to back in the same pipe and have noticed a difference in the second tobacco?
Do you think the first tobacco can enhance the second?

Yup ^^^^^^^ I’ve experienced the same results a few times. That’s also another reason why sometimes I layer different blends in a Country Gentleman pipe 👌👍👍

Some times when I smoke a mild aromatic in a pipe after I've smoked Latakia in it I can detect a hit of the Latakia..Some times it's pretty nice.

I often smoke two different tobaccos back to back in the same pipe. I try to avoid mixing aromatics. Those stay in Meerschaums or cobs. Otherwise the only time I've noticed a bit of ghosting from there first blend was when it was a Sam Gawith Lakeland. Otherwise, I really don't notice anything.

...certainly it will have some affect, but in my experience it is not long-term...

Mixing blends is always fun. Try 50/50 first then do 80/20 mixes both ways.

1st of all Paddy, you do know that Carter Hall is a magical mixture. I not only enhances the flavor of the tobacco you smoked before BUT it also de-ghosts your pipe as well.
Many people use it for ghosted pipes. I do. My little 2 cents. I'm done move on. LOL!

I like to smoke Middleton's Cherry followed by a small dog turd. It helps to improve the flavor of the Middleton's.

I do a lot. I have about a dozen pipes that I smoke regularly. I usually just grab the closest pipe after I choose the blend. Out of 50 pipes, I only have one that only does well with English blends.

And, anything I don't care for I mix with CH & can get through it & more often than not, like it.

I only smoke about 3 pipes on a regular basis. I have about 6 different blends I light up, depending on my mood, so things are mixed regularly. I fear I am not sophisticated or sensitive enough (whichever the case) to detect mild ghosting. I am, I admit, a tobacco barbarian.

I think I talked about this before, but I love layering. Smoking two, or three different tobaccos in a row, each one enhancing the experience of the next. I usually go from weak to strong, simple to complicated, low nic to higher nic. Not always, but often enough.
Others who do this, I would love to hear your favorite sequences.
The other day i hit upon a great three tobacco adventure.
First - Carter Hall, the foundation of many great sequences.
Second - Billy Budd Blonde
Third - Viprati
The right sequence, each tobacco kind of makes you crave the next one. The first half of the second bowl satisfies the craving caused by the first one, while the second half establishes the craving for the next one. This doesn't always happen, but it is the holy grail of the layering method.

My "layering" really isn't, but sometimes I top a good English blend with Margate or Penzance. Sure makes those expensive blends last longer, and I enjoy thrift.

Maybe I am just frugal.....

Well, it could be rational behavior.....

OK, I am a tightwad.

I just noticed. My bad. I don't do my layering in a single pipe. I never smoke two bowls in a row from the same pipe, I have a pipe rotation regimen.
What I do is load the second pipe while smoking the first, and so on. Sometimes i have the second one on deck and ready before I start.

I think it depends on the tobacco. A stronger aromatic might leave a ghost in the pipe that the second bowl will absorb. I know that if I smoke a bowl of CULT Blood Red Moon I can just detect it later, even after the pipe has been cleaned. In my layering scheme a strong aro would be last anyway, being the stronger flavor. |
