Okay, so I've been smoking a pipe, albeit somewhat infrequently, for a little over two years.
I've made it a point to try a whole range of tobaccos, all kinds of aromatics, English and Virginias. I think I've tried about 15 different ones so far. A couple of them have stuck out for me as favorites, particularly MacBaren's 7 Seas Regular, but really, I've liked virtually every one I've tried.
But when I read all the descriptions of all these hundreds of different blends, I just want to keep trying new ones.
What do more experienced pipers lean towards, as far as how many blends do you rotate? Do you primarily smoke a favorite, and occasionally mix in something else? Do you have four or five blends that you go back and forth with?
Right now, I pretty much never smoke the same thing twice in a row--I love the variety.
I know there's no "right" answer, but I'm just curious as to what others do.
