My current rotation is 21 pipes with a rather eclectic variety of pipes: too numerous to count but all are kept in excellent condition and anywhere from a no-name straight prince to a pure straight grain Preben Holm that is beautiful. Most but not all have silver fittings as I prefer those.
I'm on a "I'll try anything" kick right now. The weather is starting to improve and I'm smoking daily again. Burleys and Va's are pushing my buttons currently and I just picked up some more Capstan, a tin of Wessex Balkan Supreme and a tin of Drew Estates Gatsby Luxury Flake. All 3 will get a run through this week. I've had all but the Wessex before.
Lately I've been on a C&D kick, Three Friars, Mountain Camp and Engine 99. I did just open a jar of Barclay Rex Vincent's Blend that is 3 years old.
A Forums member sent me a sampler (his own selection) of about a dozen tobacco blends -- loose, flake, and plug -- so I am enjoying that instead of the usual rotation. However, my own usuals, right now, include MM 965, Sutliff Bulkan 957, PS Luxury Navy Flake, and Tabac Manil Semois, with a bunch of others I enjoy -- C&D non-aro burleys, a few aros, and other fav English blends. A little varied to be a rotation. Right now enjoying a sample of Old Dark Fired, and I might buy a tin of that at the TAPS pipe show next week if the price is right.
I've got some bulk Va flake, some bulk English Lat. Some bulk VaBur coins, some cav based aros, and several OTC Codgers. I will open a tin from time to time, but generally I use these and sometimes make mix using some of the components on hand.
Codger blends are my tobacco security blanket.

Frog Morton Cellar, mixture 50|50 1Q and Anni Kake, Quiet Nights, Mississippi River, Early Morning Pipe, Bagpipers dream, Newminster Navy, St. James Flake.
Right now my usual rotation is Lane's 1Q and Peter Stokkebye's Luxury Bullseye Flake.
I made a New Year's Resolution to branch out and try more blending styles, so I'm throwing in a new VaPer or a new Virginia blend a lot. I'm typically spending a week with the new blend and then revert back to 1Q and LBF for a week or two and then move on to the next blend.

Weezel's current rotation of SWR and CH made me smile because even though I've been moving through a lot of different tobaccos as of late I've been kind of craving some CH. I usually have at least a pouch layed up with all my jars and tins but I've got none on hand. Looks like trip to the drug store is coming soon!
Fair warning on that Jeff I just talked to a family member of one of my residents today and he said that the drug stores stopped carrying carter hall as well as many of the pipe tobaccos.
