How many blends in your rotation?

[futureman]

Curious as to how many open tins or active pouches/jars you have going at any given time. My current lineup is getting a bit unruly, mostly because of (1) TAD and (2) becoming disinterested in certain blends and transferring them to pouches or jars until I'm ready for them again.

 

[rcstan]

Not counting TAD, right now : four
PS Balkan Supreme for morning coffee

PS Cube Cut for after lunch

PS B&B for driving, after dinner, break and all-around "I need to smoke something"

Mac Baren Latakia Blend for late nights
If I stay home all day I tend to keep it simpler, with MB Lat Blend for start and finish, and B&B for in-between.
It only gets unruly and confusing when the 6 week shipment of baccy comes in and I feel I have to try everything that day.....

I got maybe 8-9 in my rotation. But I buy mostly bulk tobaccos that I keep in Mason jars with a humi stick so nothings drying out. I am sitting on a bunch of unopened tins though. Think I need to open a couple though as I havent tried a few and some I got off a guy through my B&M 20 year old tins want to open one of each to see how well they have kept.

Right now I have way too many open but generally 4-6 blends at any given time. I also have all my jars with bulk as well accessible at any given time. I always like to have a few VA's, an aro, and a Lat open.

 

[futureman]

I have about 11 blends in zip-locks (a few with small humidifiers for blends that sat too long in open tins), 4 in jars, and 4 in tins. My wife is going nuts.

 

[nsfisher]

37 blends open at the moment. 4 more on the way.

 

[jchaplick]

I do my best to only have 3 or 4 open at one time, I prefer 50 grams but 100 grams is so much of a better price, I need more jars.
I have MCB navy flake, VA no 1, and vanilla flake open at the moment, sealed I have Orlik villager cocktail hour, Hal o the wynd, and escudo

Usually 6 to 8, when I get a new batch in it can get up to 10ish, I don't buy bulk very often now as I enjoy such a big variation nowadays. Years ago I was a stick in the mud and stuck to one favorite blend for years and only had a rotation of 2 pipes at a time, this was the norm in the UK, this having a choice of tobacco and a choice of a large collection of pipes is a modern phenomenon.

19. That's about normal for me. :puffpipe:

 

[mluyckx]

2 to 4 open tins at a time. 4 bulks in glass top jars. (1-q, MV-1000, Kendal's Kentucky and either MB vanilla cream or AC Peterson Mark Twain. They tend to play hopscotch ;-) )
But I have tins that I have opened, didn't like very much and jarred up for another day. So I don't count those as part of my "rotation". Right now, there's 5 or 6 of those.

 

[rafterman]

3 blends, all Mac Barens: HH Highland, Mixture Scottish Blend, and Navy Flake. Those 3 are my meat and potatos.

 

[adam12]

Pick 3 from: McClelland oriental, McClelland Virginia, maybe Red Ribbon or Beacon, a specialty Cornell & Diehl of some sort, and something with latakia
An occasional 4th: something heavy

2 are my go to work smokes and I have whitteled it down to 3 more tins for the nights and weekend

We share a lot of the same choices I see, great minds think alike. I smoke 4-5 bowls a night and mix it up, but I always smoke a bowl of HOTW every night. It's just that good.

 

[igloo]

Peterson's Sunset Breeze ,Sillem's Black ,Rattray's Theee Noggins ,Robert McConnell Scottish Flake . Just four but they go well together . ::

 

[zanthal]

I have only a few aromatics I've been smoking regularly
But by the time this next package gets here, I'll have upwards of 40 different blends.
I know, boring post, I'll put together a list soon.

 

[lordnoble]

Let's see, how many blends do I have? LOL!
Basically, I don't have any blends in my "rotation" as I smoke pretty much everything I have. Makes deciding what to smoke a bit of a challenge.

8 at the moment and I think I need to change that. It's really tempting to try new stuff or get back to stuff that you liked and didn't smoke in a while, and it's painful to have to wait till you finish a tin till you be able to open another. But I really notice the difference of the taste of a fresh tin and a (has been sitting around for three weeks tin) SO i think I will try to make it only open 4 tins at any given time.
