I have three blends I came up with that I rotate through during the day. In the evening the question is Virginia or Balkan/Oriental/English. I tend more towards the former in cooler weather and the latter in warmer weather.
How do you Choose What to Smoke?

It's just my folder of where I keep track of all of them. When I first started smoking pipes in January I relied on Tobacco Reviews for the info.
You make buying a pipe a year long endeavor yet you put little thought into what you are smoking. That doesn't work for me. I expect a 5 hour dissertation on every blend you choose to smoke. I have gotten so used to your dry humor, when you talk like a normal person it is such a let down. C'mon Warren you gotta up your game man. That last post was unworthy of you, do better please.
I normally keep ~3 blends open at a time, always a VA or VA/PER, a burley of some sort, and something with Latakia. Usually, start the day with a burley blend and switch around during the day as the mood strikes.
There's no particular process to picking blends out of the cellar to open, often I find something I've not had or forgotten about and open that.
On Christmas the boys and I smoke at least one bowl of Penzance together, I keep a mason jar of the stuff only for that purpose. IIRC that's the only time I smoke Penzance.

Depending where I'm about to spent my day,If I have to be almost all day long in a car or truck I'd take two blends &two pipes with me tops, theres no much room for variety during those like days, I use to keep 3-4 blends open and in rotation
I like to start the day with a light English blend like EMP or Chelsea Morning. Right now I'm loving VAPer so will try to sneak in a taste of Match Victorian or Deception Pass sometime during the day. As for nighttime, I prefer a complex and creamy blend like Plum Pudding or Match Walnut.
I have my staples and then I always have a few I'm trying out.
Mornings are always an adventure.

Whatever I have a craving for at the time I want to light up. Usually, signals from my brain. Like, "you really want a Va/per this time.
I go to the basement, stand in the doorway of the closet sized room I keep my tobaccos in and stare at them until one moves me.

Just wanted to chime in on this point.
You should never TAKE a poop.
Always LEAVE a poop.
Only ever LEAVE a poop.
So true. Never understood why we "take" poop. It's not like we carry it with us in a bag.
