Great suggestions from Brandon.

While I've never experienced the old lady purfume ghost. I've experienced many a "mixture 79-esq" ghost in my fleabay finds.

1) Salt & Alcohol treatment. I use Scotch as the cleaning agent on my pipes, I love scotch & it overpowers most other smells.

2) Smoke a Burley (like PA), they are very good for removing ghosts. They also are good for removing Scotch.

3) Smoke something strong out of it in the category you'd like to dedicate the pipe to. Since I am primarily a VA guy, I use something like Bracken Flake. As a bonus, you could decide to dedicate this pipe to Latakia-forward blends in the future. Going the other way is not so forgiving.

Good luck!
