So far my total is 46 different tobaccos (I keep a database and record each one tried, their strength, whether or not I liked them, price paid, etc.)
My recent purchases (haven't tried them all) have been:
Peterson University Flake (which I like)

Escudo (have mixed feelings on this one)

Epiphany: supposed to be based on Einstein's favorite tobacco (haven't tried yet)

Crooner: supposed to be based on Bing Crosby's favorite tobacco (haven't tried yet)
I plan on stocking up some more, but I will kick myself if I miss a great tobacco, so I keep trying new blends. My next purchase will include some Frog Morton and then I will begin to stock up on my favs, which will definitely include some EMP.

I've probably missed a few along the way, but my smoking journal says that I have tried 146 blends so far. A drop in the bucket for 33 years of pipe smoking! But, then, I do like returning to favorites often.

Man, I'd have to guess about 25. I think I'm starting to get a good feel for what I enjoy. It's curious sometimes on how much of a miss it is though sometimes. A recent tin which should have been perfect for me has been kind of a dog, but I'm trying it a few more times before I jar it.
I should note I've only been smoking about 10 months.

I've tried a few tobaccos that I thought would be ideal for me, only to be disappointed. I guess that's why I keep trying more.
I also just bought some Bob's Chocolate Flake - haven't tried that yet either, but hopeful!

I would say about 25 myself give or take.
Number six I would love to hear more about your thoughts on escudo. I love that blend.

I've never logged tobaccos I've tried, but after being into pipes for more than 10 years and never finding one blend to stick with I can estimate I'm in the 40-50 range. My current cellar has over 25 different makes, but many I haven't tried yet. (Black House is the only one I've stocked up on that I smoke regularly, FWIW...) Whenever I order, it's rare I don't order 1-2 tins of something I've never tried. Usually based on what I read on this forum...
That was a very long way of just saying "beats me"...

Well I am on the fence right now as I only just got my tin a few days ago and it's my first VaPer. The spiciness of the perique is something I am not too sure I like but I cannot really judge it after only a few bowls.
I will likely let it sit in a jar for some time and try again.

I am not nearly as systematic as numbersix. I don't know how many. Maybe around 50. If I miss a good one, no problem, there are many other good tobaccos here.

Just checked my cellar inventory, and I currently have 32 blends there that I haven't tried yet. So, assuming I get to them before I leave this world, I should at least be able to hit 175+ different blends in my lifetime.
The problem is that there are another 70-some blends in the cellar that I already know I do like! And sometimes I just want something familiar.

I have tried about 25 different blends now. I am slowly finding what I like and what I do not.

I don't keep track. I know what I have smoked, when its brought up. I can tell you whether I liked it or not. Never thought to keep track of the numerical value.

I'm sure you're tired of reading about how long I've been at this pipe smoking thing,but it's a lot of years.In old days I traveled a lot.Every place I went I tried to find a smoke shop.I usually tried to find a blend or two that I hadn't tried before.My guess is I've tried around 300 blends.To be honest Most of them I didn't like very much.These days I stick with a few blends that I know I like.Now and then I still try a new one though.

I have never kept an official list but if I had to guess it would be somewhere around 150 or so. When I first began smoking a pipe, I was all over the place and was trying everything I could get my hands on. I must have smoked at least 50 different English blends alone. Now I only try new flakes so I am fairly limited in what I try. I am sure I have smoked around 50 different flake tobaccos and have settled on a rotation of around 25 of those. The category I have smoked the least of is aromatics with only 15 or so of those.

I log all my puffs, but my database has 2 sets of entries, with the primary log at about 1000 blends. Some of these haven't been popped yet, but I also log blends I sample at events and pipe clubs. I haven't checked lately, but there are several hundred of those. So the net total probably evens out.
As to different blends, quite a few shop blends are relabeled McClelland bulks and the like, so there is some duplication. I do enjoy playing the sleuth and trying to figure out the real identities of the mystery blends. No, I'm not really a promiscuous person, but I do like my variety.
