Straight burley doesn't ghost. It will even remove a ghost. If it's a topped burley then yes it will ghost. A lot of B&M will top the burley and make it like a sweet or vanilla. I break my pipes in with CH. CH has a little topping in my opinion but it builds great cake and will not ghost. Just my experience. But I'm also a burley nut.
Burley nut - check

Someone light up a bowl for me. I need to live vicariously through someone else tonight. I only ask that you let me know what you chose and how it is/was. :)

What does "ghost a pipe" mean?
It's when you smoke a certain type of tobacco that has very strong flavors in it and it leaves behind a certain note of character when you smoke it again. Like if you smoked a strong cherry aro and many times after you smoke an English but you can still taste the cherry.

Thanks hoshy!
So is it mostly just aro's that do that? If so i have no worries then.
Nope, anything that has a very pronounced character to it. That is why some guys have pipes for different blends. I like to mix it up a bit though, it doesn't bother me to much.
I have yet to have any tobacco seriously ghost a pipe. Maybe just remnants of flavor (Latakia) for a bowl or two. The only exception just to be safe is I have a cob dedicated to aromatics. I rarely smoke aros so would not be pleased if one of my briars developed a nontobacco flavor.
