In my experience, it's something that's more inevitable. But, can be delayed if you brush with a stiffer brush and use a slightly abrasive tooth brush/powder. It might sound crazy, but I try to brush every couple days with a boar hair bristle brush and a course tooth powder. The brush is harder to get your hands on, but if you check out Sutler of Fort Scott, they have them periodically, they make reproduction Civil War personal items for reenactors (which I am). For the tooth powder, I recommend a company called Van Man or making your own from a tiny dash of salt and a table spoon of baking soda. The brush takes some getting used to and can cause some discomfort at first, as it is very stiff. But, it'll really help with build up. I hope this helps!

@@davisjacobs5748 I appreciate the reply and information.

Adam bought the pipe from Stefan Cashwell

It doesn't matter quite as much as most think. Of course, don't go smoking a ton of aromatics in all your pipes. But, it can actually be a lot of fun to smoke a Virginia blend in a latakia dedicated pipe. You will pick up a different note than you would otherwise. In general, I have a collection of pipes dedicated to specific blend types. So, in your case, I'd use pipe 2 for all that you have listed with it, plus the early morning, nightcap, and double pressed latakia. It sounds like you have a Virginia pipe, two latakias, and an everything else pipe. I'd cut it down, just for now, to where you have two Virginia and two latakia. I smoke dark fire Kentucky blends out of either pipe, as the flavors play well with each other. But, of course, that's just my experience and yours might be different. However, at the end of the day, don't stress it too much. While I have pipes set aside for each blend type, I don't stick strictly to it. The ultimate thing is, have fun and enjoy piping!
