Current Rotation

[brass]

From Top Left: Newminister 400 Superior Navy Flake; F. Germains Rich Dark Flake; Orlik Golden Slice; Condor [smoked last bowel while working on this post :-(]; Old Joe Krantz; Bob's Chocolate Flake; Pure Semois; Margate; Stanwell Jubilee; Quiet Nights.
I haven't the discipline to keep my rotation down to my desire 3 or 4 tins as I would like. But I have selected to provide variation amongst different blend types, e.g., a couple of English Blends, a Lakeland, VaPers, a burley and burley forward aromatic and a pure Semois.
The jars are food grade plastic. They keep blends appropriately moist for 6 months to a year. I prefer them to glass so as to avoid breakage on my tiled porch.
Hmm, I guess now I can't make fun of folks who post pics of their lunch on Instagram.
P.S. Thanks to the members who helped with the picture rotation problem I had with the forum album feature.

puhh...way too many are in my rotation!

After a while, you no longer have a rotation. It just comes to the point that you smoke what fits your mood at that moment.

I try to minimize open tins but I always have ten or so that have been cracked. However, except for Pure Semois, those pictured are my regulars - when I can find them. I'm getting low on Rich Dark Flake. If anyone knows of a ready supply of RDF, please advise. I had to go through some shenanigans to get my original supply from the UK. I'll trade Semois for RDF or Stonehaven or credit towards a Peterson System pipe.

 

[sallow]

I have four or five tins open usually at one time that I am actively smoking to the bottom.
Of course some I try and don't get into, so they just get added to the open jar shelf. I go back to these from time to time.

 

[jaytex1969]

I'm working hard to keep my number of open containers manageable.
Currently, in regular use:

Balkan Sasieni tin

Vintage Syrian jar

Peterson Irish Oak tin

Black Irish X jar

Brown Irish X jar

GH&Co North Star bag
Irregular use:

Peterson Hyde park tin

Drew Estate Grand Central tin
I've been debating which tin to get into next. Probably another John Cotton's. I finished a tin of #1 and need another "English" in the mix.

 

[jaytex1969]

I don't know how I left out the following from the above list:
C&D Black Frigate in the first group.
McClelland's Red & Black in the second.
They both have the tall can shape and are stacked separate from the rest.
