How Many Blends In Your Rotation

[dcicero]

I wonder how many blends you guys really smoke on a regular basis, or if you've settled on just a few. Many blends I've had I could do without, but there are 2 or three I think I'll always keep around. Also, since I have so many, sometimes its hard to choose.. sometimes I wish to just have 3 or 4 and leave it at that, but my curiosity often gets the best of me.

I have about 30 different blends in jars, and out of those there are probably 6 or 7 that I smoke frequently.

That’s almost exactly where I’m at. I have a shit ton of what I like and I mix it up just enough.

Three basically.

The term "rotation" is a bit like quantum physics for me: the more closely I think about it the less accurate the number is apt to be.

I have enough tins and jars open that I'm continuously forgetting at least some part of my collection. Revisiting them constantly is much of the fun.

4 or 5 at any given time - would like to ramp it up

Same. I have about three or four Blends I go back to regularly but I'm always dipping into another couple of dozen different ones.

I also have several seasonal blends that I only smoke during that season. Spring, summer, Halloween/ October, Thanksgiving / Christmas.

Its funny because when I smoked cigarettes and cigars I'd stick to 'my brand' most two different brands and that was it - La Gloria and La Flor - then CAO - Camels and Wnston then Nat Sherman or American Spirit
with Pipe's its a different ballgame

 

[Chasing Embers]

I just smoke a jar or tin until it's gone then move to another.

 

[Bigdadz]

I currently have 4 tins going. Almost always a tin of 965 and the rest being Virginia / perique.

I'm such a Tobacco whore. More open blends than the law should allow...

 

[username]

Prince Albert and Stokkebye Norwegian are my two daily go-tos, with Carter Hall, Stokkebye Turkish, and Stokkebye Amsterdam as an occasional change-up once a week or so. I also have some Lane 1Q and a bunch of Tinderbox potpourri blends that I haven’t touched in months.

I try to keep my open tins/jars to about 15. I also have about 10-15 additional jars which I occasionally sample from.
And my total cellar width should be around 150-170 blends. Last time I counted it was 132 and I have added more variety since then

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I have 2 blends I smoke frequently. Perhaps another dozen open at any given time. As I work through those, it may be different ones yet that make it into the rotation.

 

[trouttimes]

8 or 10 at a time. 4 or 5 regulars and 4 or 5 "experiments ".

 

[Simmerdown☕️]

I have a loose rotation. I always have Haunted Bookshop, RDF, St. James Flake/Plug, FVF, Revor Plug open for business. I then grab what fancies me at any given moment & occasionally open a new tin. ️

 

[Pit&Pipes]

I think I have around 12 I rotate regularly but 3-4 that will be smoked daily..

 

[stokesdale]

7...anymore than that and my head would explode.
