I have about 40 as well. Tried lots of new stuff last year.

I think somewhere between 5 and 7. some of them have been open way too long since i don't find them to be as inviting as they used to be.

Just 2....some Marlin Flake for my sweet fix in the morning and some Private Stock to help me Anglify the evening.

Dozens, in jars.
Some are large amounts I bought in bulk and (try to) keep sealed for aging.
Some are bulks I have yet to try.
Some are leftovers from tins that I opened and got tired of or didn't like but retun to for another go from time to time. I can't bring myself to throw out tobbaco.
Three or four are blends I am actively smoking. Right now it is escudo, university flake, sam gawith navy flake, and marlin flake.

I've got around 15-20 tins opened that are jarred up. My smoking ritual begins with first determining which type of baccy I want to smoke (i.e. virginia, english, burley, etc) and once I've got the appropriate pipe in hand I then select the specific blend I want to fire up.
Last night I wanted a virginia with perique, so I grabbed my dedicated pipe for virginia blends and went on to select Stokkebye Luxury Bulls Eye -- which was fantastic! Really hit the spot last night.
15-20...variety is the spice of life.

One at a time, least I get lost in the decimating of the nuances of each blend while slow smoking my Dr. Grabow pipe.

For those that were interested in what I was using, this is the site that keeps track of opened and cellared tobacco.

Not the easiest when you have to add a tobacco not in their database, but luckily they have most of them

2, sometimes 3. One aromatic and one... more practical: English mixtures or things like this

All of them.

Most in jars, a few tins, a few samples in bags, but all of them.

I was avoiding this thread after reading of someone else being looked down upon for having never finished a tin, but it looks like I'm in good company.

If I smoke all my samples equally at my current average pace right now, I won't finish a tin until the year 2031.

Tins? At any given time, maybe 2. I like to focus on one tin at a time to really get to know the flavor of a blend. Bulk? Again, I generally only have 4 to 5 jars I dip into at any given time. I've got my regular rotation pretty well nailed down and really don't venture out too much.

My previously posted 7 just went up by one as I just popped open a tin of Bob's Chocolate Flake. ::

I really appreciate seeing the variation here. When I open a 50g time I split it into 2 very small (125ml) mason jars. One for smoke now and one for the cellar/ smoke soon. I currently have 8 small jars in my rotation. If I had more unopened tins in the house you can be sure this number would be higher!
