what have you smoked before and liked?

the bold part in your quote: YES, if you smoke a couple burley blends in a pipe, it can ghost that pipe after only a couple of smokes. i smoked a strong burley blend in 1 of my pipes, thinking it would do no harm with 1 bowl. WRONG, it still tastes like burley at times.
example of what i'm saying: lets say you have a briar straw, and you love grape kool-ade. you drink the same grape flavored kool-ade for a week straight. you rinse the straw after every glass. then one day, you decide to go for kiwi-strawberry. you stick your straw that has a grape kool-ade ghost in it, and take a sip... you taste grape with hints of kiwi-strawberry.

you don't need a pipe for every single blend you smoke, but it's suggested to have at least 1 for the different genres of pipe tobacco you smoke.

some ppl have enough pipes, and a favorite tobacco, they dedicate that pipe to that tobacco - it also helps if the pipe really likes tosmoke that tobacco.

i can't make any suggestions for you until we know what you've had and like or dislike (and why).
