I ususally try to keep my briars to a certain type of blend. Larger bowls for english and smaller bowls for virginias. Thats just my preference. However, after smoking english blends in a pipe and then you try smoking a virginia in it you can taste it. Actually I prefer to keep aromatics with Meers because the flavor will stay with a briar more unless you want to dedicate a briar to an aromatic.

I prefer to smoke meers because they smoke drier and I can smoke a variety of tobaccos in them. In a meer you dont want to build up cake so I take a papertowel and twist it in the bowl when Im done to clean it out. Last thing is that I dont like to smoke goopy aromatics. I like light aromatics that wont leave all that gunk on my bowl. My favorites are: H&H Egg Nog, C&D Autumn Evening, and McClleland Captain Cool. Good Luck and have fun.
