Rotation for me means tins/jars that are open because I keep greedily consuming the contents.
Right now:
Brown Twist Sliced

La Brumeuse

Five Brothers

Royal Yacht

Old Joe Krantz

Stirling Flake
Quite pleasant.

My rotation also happens to be my entire stock of tobacco. I like to go for a variety, though I've yet to add a burley-focused blend to the lot. I'm still working on that. SNF used to be my favorite of them all, but the last several bowls of it have given me some serious mouth soreness by around mid-bowl.

I wish it was just six or eight blends with a few outliers, but there are so many, it is hardly a rotation. Some sample is always getting thrown into the mix. Or some long unopened jar will be opened and finished off. C&D Billy Budd, C&D Old Joe Krantz, Frog Morton Cellar, PC Midtown Chestnut, and PC Log Cabin are staples now, but it evolves. I think that's true of many Forums members, with our TAD. Right now I have three new pouches to try -- Erin Go Bragh, John Bull, Sir Walter Raleigh Aro.

I rotate my rotation, I keep all my tobacco in the basement-- +100 or so blends. I bring upstairs (my smoking area) 4-5 blends at a time. I'm now on the expensive and/or hard to find rotation, because all 5 of these became recently became available for purchase at about the same time. Normally, I'd only have 1 expensive/hard to find blend at a time in my rotation (got to make this stuff last for years).

I've had them in rotation for 3-4 weeks, now I'm putting those back in deep storage and switching to 5 others which I have more significant supplies.
I Pulled from deep storage:

Capstan Blue--love it, yet I haven't smoked any in many months

Peter Stokkebeye Luxury Navy Flake--not a super favorite, but I have pounds of it

Orlik Golden Sliced--easy to smoke, cheap, readily available, very decent tobacco

Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake--already started drying flakes for next week, ha ha

Escudo--love it, easy to smoke
After 2-4 weeks of those, I'll pull something else--maybe a Lakeland blend, for a change of pace or because I want to punish a pipe ( I dedicate 2 pipes to lakelands--which everybody should do), maybe a latakia blend which I've shunned for over 6 months, or maybe an aero blend if I'm feeling fruity

I'm beginning to realize that I'm never going to be able to try all the blends that you folks like. There are just too many. It is time that I stopped ordering new blends and catch up with those in my cellar - probably 10 years worth if I smoke a tin a week. I'm going to start right after I order some Bijou and Plum Pudding. ::

If you have time, ordering 1oz of each via bulk is a great way to experience more blends. You can save even more time by recognizing their archetypes; Va/Pers, for example, are very similar with a few variations. If you like the others, explore more of those. If you hated a decent representative of the genre, you can save a few bucks by avoiding the rest.
