Or perhaps I'm overcomplicating this altogether. Any direction would be appreciated.

Yes, this is a good idea. These are blends that if you smoked numerous bowls of in the same pipe, may indeed, as you say, ghost. If however you have pipe in which you are already smoking Nightcap, and only want to smoke the occasional bowl of either the Penzance or Stonehaven, it shouldn't really be a problem.
I usually have a pipe for English blends and one for aromatics, and then I mix and match whatever I want.
The only tobaccos which I try to be careful with is Virginias and VaPers - I won't smoke any Latakia or Aromatics in those pipes.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
