I currently have 30 jars and 1 open tin, but I have a core 4 or 5 at any given time. I'm trying to whittle the jars down to 3 or 4 so I can just roll right out of the tins. Everything else is cellared.

Only 3: virginia, jaguari (a type of regional tobacco), and a rope tobacco (jaguari also) flavored with fig leaf.
My brother is like that, only with wine. He says: "you don't have to open a bottle of wine to appreciate it."
This thread is quite an eye-opener, as to what folks do with their precious pipeweed. I currently have 16 tobaccos, of which I find - to my surprise - that I'm smoking no fewer than 8, not so much in rotation but according to the rotation of my pipes, which isn't a strict rotation, either: more a case of what kind of a smoke I want at the time dictates both the pipe I select (one of 18) and the type of tobacco the pipe wants. I have to negotiate, you see. And as the weather and the season has shifted from summer to winter, I find I am moving away from VA/Pers more to VA/Bur/KYs. I really ought to reduce down to about 4 blends at a time.

I have 5 blends open, which is probably 4 too many.
As far as stock, I've lost track, but it's probably several dozen, plus blending tobaccos, including various Periques and Orientals, as well as Syrian Latakia.
Most of what I have is long OOP. I took the concerns about a coming tobaccopalypse seriously and stocked up on the things I particularly liked. With the exception of a few tins bought out of curiosity, I haven't bought tobacco for the past 4 years.

I am fairly new to pipe smoking so most of the tobaccos I have acquired are currently opened (maybe 9-10 half pint mason jars), trying to decide what I like. I have 2 or 3 that have become my preference and that I smoke more regularly, but still smoke the others from time to time.
