I have 3 to 4 in rotation at any time because I don't like having more open than that at any time since I don't want it to dry out.

Anything within reach is fair game to smoke. Anything not within reach means it's an object of my TAD.
Me too.
I have about 60 blends on hand, generally in small quantities, and a pound of 1Q of course.
Like haunted, I only keep 3-4 for the same reason.
It was just two (always a Virginia or Burley and a Latakia blend) but when I have time to smoke a third bowl I'll have P.A. or Irish Flake. My open tin of Irish Flake is still moist after 8 months.

Although I have about 60 blends at my disposal like Lawrence .There are useally about four on my side table , three of which get rotated out . The Rattrays 3Noggins always stays .
Alright I give up, I'm going to order a pound of 1Q and maybe some BCA (although I do have a good supply of another black Cavendish) and give it a go. Seems to come up the favorites list a lot. I usually don't have a set rotation, just what sounds good at the time and I have in stock. Sometimes something I can get local (which isn't much.) Oddly I had a craving the other day for Capt Black, of all things, and bought a pack. Lately I have been enjoying some Dunhill 965, EMP, and some Burley from Boswell Pipes.
Maybe is just me, but many aromatics leave me with a "artificial chemical" after taste later.

2-3 in my rotation. Im aging the the others for maybe 6 more months and letting the sugar crystals spread.
I'm not sure how many I have. I'm constantly finding tins hidden everywhere that I've forgotten about, in the most unlikely places. I guess that's my way of "cellaring".
I normally just pick 3-4 different blends and smoke them until they are gone and then pick 3 or 4 more!

I don't have a formal rotation, but I keep 7 or 8 blends in my tobacco closet.
I might smoke one blend for a day or two, then have a couple of bowls of something different for a change of pace and then it's back to my current favorite or favorites.
At this time, it's mainly 1Q, 7 Seas Royal and CBW. However, I might fire up a bowl of Lane's Burley Light, Carter Hall, Lane's Sweet English or my "Scraps Blend" at any time. And then reload without warning.

My bulk purchases and opened tins go into numerous small Mason jars. I then sample practically everything -- like a kid in a candy store -- but only from the most recently opened jar. The remainder of the stash stays sealed.
I have no rotation, I smoke whatever I feel like. But, seeing as I only own 5 tobacco's I don't have a huge choice so meh.
Weekends out with the wife it is something she likes to smell. Weekdays back and forth to work is something I care for. I usually pick something and smoke it til it's gone then try something else. If it was really nice I make a note to get some more, if not I just keep searching.
