I stock/cellar six blends, I keep another 3 or 4 for regular rotation, and I've been known to try a bowl of this a bowl of that. Helps to work for SPC. If I limited myself to one or two blends it would be like smoking cigs, and too much variety would be confusing. YMVW.

Quite a few, but not even close to that many which is more than enough for me. Too many would only make things confusing. Considering that I only smoke about one to two bowls on an average per day, and also considering my age any more would be a waste of money for me.

Only 3 in stock. I'm new to pipe smoking and have been focused on getting pipes. I've tried 11 blends (4 of them OTC) so far. To be honest, I could probably be content smoking just Nightcap.

When all is said and done, and if push came shove, I could probably be content with PA and Mixture 965. Two opposite ends of the spectrum, as it were, and a good variation. :wink:

Twelve. Two of which are untried. On my way home from work I was wondering if I'd rather cellar large amounts of a few blends, or more blends with less volume. Timely thread!

scrooge,
I can't really offer any insights since people's tastes vary so much. I can suggest stuff based on what you enjoy, or I can list my current favorites, regular smokes and stockers ( sometimes they change over time too ), in no particular order : Royal Yacht, Hamborger Veermaster, Irish Flake, Woodbridge, Germain's Plumcake, Erinmore Flake, Balkan Sasieni, MM965, GLP Navigator, McClelland Fragrant Mature Cake .

8 blends/tins that I cellar and a bunch of one-offs. Also two pouch tobaccos that keep the cellar growing/aging.

I have about 30 blends open in jars, some of them get ignored for long periods of time and some of them get smoked every week. I like to buy a tin or an ounce of anything that sounds like I might like it, either from description/review or recommendation. So far there have been only a very small handful of blends that I would not smoke further than a bowl or two and have passed on to someone else. I keep a record of what I would purchase again. The repurchase is where I get a bit fussier, of the 60 blends I have tried in total, I would repurchase 15.

My calculator is not handy but i believe that is halfway to a half.
Isaac.

Yep, as time goes on that number is sounding more and more to my liking and I could survive quite nicely with that amount of blends. Keep it simple; life is complicated enough as it is let alone worrying, and or being concerned about what blend to choose out of a myriad of blends on hand. Then again, I've never considered pipe smoking as a hobby, but simply, well... smoking a pipe! :wink:

26 in mason jars and 12 different (5 tins each) in cellar. I am weak when I get something new and I have to try it, I only have 26 now because I ran out of jars and space in my tobacco cabinet.

I am currently building another 19 count pipe rack, when that is finished I may have to build a bigger cabinet.
