Estate Pipe Ghosts

[Branzig]

I don't see a problem at all with that scent. IMO it just makes it really easy to decide what I am smoking in there: auto picked by default Lakeland Warrior Pipe!

If it is a pipe that you absolutely do not want to smoke delicious Lakeland snot out of for some reason, then there are some solutions. Smoking a couple ounces of PA through a pipe that you have already done a few SA treatments through usually knocks out the bulk of a ghost. Then you can convert it to a Lat pipe pretty easily. Start smoking a couple ounces of a real Lat bomb through there and much of the essence will take a back seat to the Latakia.

So in review; 2 SA treatments, 2-3 ounces of Prince Albert, and then 2-3 ounces of a heavy duty Latakia blend usually equals new English pipe.

Also, there is ozone treatments, supposedly they re guaranteed to kill any ghost every time. Spendy though.

I dunno if I want to send my $20 Kaywoodie in for a $50 ozone treatment. Seems like a bad investment. LOL

As for the rest of your anti-ghosting suggestions...Love it!

Yeah, if it is a 20 buck Kaywoodie forget it. Unless it is like a rare handmade series that you luckily scored...then I would spend the $50!

It takes a lot of work to smoke all that PA and Lat through a pipe (including all the rest time that is), but if you're dead set on killing the essence, it must be done.

Who knows, maybe after tasting all those floral ghosts of puffer's past, you may finally turn into a Lakeland snot lover!

There is nothing wrong with Lakeland blends. I love them.
