If you think you will like Virginia blends then I would recommend dedicating a pipe to those. Virginia blends have subtleties you'll miss with even the hint of ghosting. I have aromatic dedicated pipes, English dedicated pipes, Burley/Dark Fired dedicated pipes and then Virginia pipes.If you stay away from strongly aromatic tobaccos and Latakia blends you won’t need to dedicate your pipes. Perhaps just having separate pipes for those exceptions. When you try a new blend, stick with it exclusively for at least a week before going to another. It takes some time to understand a blend enough to get a comparison to another. I believe it is better to concentrate on the simplest blends in the beginning to develop your palate as well.
