Re: How do you tell tobacco types? Newbie help
The Ghost of Tobacco past.
Scrooge had smoked nothing but vanilla cased Black Cavendish in his pipes for over twenty years. The briar stained dark with the oils, and a cake of the tar and ash from many a bowl of his favorite tobacco lined the inside of these pipes. One day he decided to try something different, a light English mixture.
No matter how many bowls of this new tobacco he smoked, his pipes where haunted by the Cavendish ghost.
Flavor and Flavored is not the same thing, but you know that.
When changing from an aromatic or flavored tobacco like a vanilla cased Black Cavendish to a natural or unflavored tobacco like a light English mixture, one might taste the flavors of the tobacco previously smoked in the pipe.
This is what you’ve read about when folks are talking about ghosting.
At this point of your journey into the hobby of pipe smoking it’s not likely something you need worry about.
Puff slow,
