I generally like to have 1 tin of every type of tobacco open at a time, so Ill have 1 tin of Virginia, 1 tin of English, 1 tin of aromatics, and 1 tin of Burley open, plus a wildcard in the mix to switch it up depending on mood. Right now my rotation is as follows: Virginia-GL Pease Jacknife Plug. Burley-MacBaren Symphony. Aromatic-CAO Moontrance. English-Squadron Leader. My wildcard right now is a tin of 7 Seas Royal by MacBaren because I have been heavy into aros lately. This works well for me, but your mileage may vary.
Huge opportunity to exercise willpower!
Depends on what your up to. I went on a cigar blend explore one time and VaPer explore another. Both times I had several different blends of each type going at once in order to compare them.
I agree with what Pipe Novelist says regarding a representation of types determining what you have open. That's the approach I try to take but when that box first arrives at the doorstop it ain't easy!

Its not an easy thing. Knowing my past record, I keep smaller sized mason jars on hand to reseal any tins I might have sampled. Seems to work well for me in my times of weakness and keep the contents fresh and available.
I open everything that isn't being stored in the cellar for aging. If it seems like I'll be taking a while to get through it, I'll transfer to mason jars. I love the exploration of all the different blends out there, so I'm like a kids with new toys when I get a TAD order in.

:
I always have some 1-Q and one or more of the Seattle Pipe Club blends open, as well as one or two bends I am trying out.
When I have more than that on hand I am content to store them for a while.
I just got all four Frog Morton blends. I will open them one at a time, so it will take a good long while to get to them all.

I currently have 27 jars on the go...I think I need to get to smoking my "regulars" more...well...regularly.
These days, when I get a new tin, I usually end up smoking it down before I move on, but thats more to meet deadlines for reviews than by design.
I have 11 jars on the go currently because I went nuts and wanted to try a whole bunch of different ones. I then realized I wouldn't get through them quick enough so I put them in the Emma jars for a longer storage then the tins. I have told myself I have to get through a few of these jars before opening up my cellar. It's very hard to resist but I'll do it. I guess I'll have to smoke more often, shucks.
I like to buy 1Q and a couple-three tins.
I don't "Cellar" the 1Q, and I buy one tin to open and the others were purchased for the cellar.

Open it. Smoke it. Jar it. I think it will be good for me to run out of jars so I will be forced to show some patience...or I'll just buy more jars!
