I don't know when it happened but I'm apparently a Burley dude now.

Hey guys! Get over yourselves. Jiminks does that before lunch.Hey, YOU JUDGING ME?
Ha ha, then I will graciously off my 100 tins to Jim, so that he can make it through the rest of his day.
My pick would be 2 x 33 1 x 34 of a English mixture, VaPer and Burley. Not to be specified as I'm still sampling.
I could tell you but then I would never be able to find it in stock again.....
I'm impressed you can find it in stock now!I could tell you but then I would never be able to find it in stock again.....
14 ounce "Tins" are still "Tins" in my book....
Do they have to be 50g or 2 oz. tins? If they can be 8 or 16 oz., I'd probably just stock up on a variety of G.L. Pease blends that come in those amounts.
As things currently stand, I don't even have a hundred tins (even if you include jarred bulk), and there are very few repeats. This is because I'm a guy who A. loves variety, and B. is newish to serious pipe smoking and tobacco collecting, and C. doesn't know exactly what I love and could smoke for the rest of my life.
But now that I've smoked quite a number of different and excellent (and some mediocre and not great) tobaccos, I again would say that I'd go with G.L. Pease, definitely with an emphasis on Quiet Nights. I'd probably also stock up on Super Balkan and MB Scottish Blend as well.

I should probably just go 100 tins of Silver Flake as they're the largest tins I've run across in the UK of anything I like.
But percentages is the point, so I'll go:
10% Bold Kentucky
10% Golden Glow
10% Dark Birds Eye
10% Kendal Gold Shag
10% Uncle Toms
10% Germains Brown Flake
10% Silver Flake
5% Capstan Blue
5% Kendal Kentucky
5% Bothy Flake
5% Cabbie's Mixture
The remaining 10% random - that will at least remind me of how amazing the other 90% are.

I enjoy Gawith-Hoggarth's 500g tin format.
99 tins of "getting tired of hypothetical surveying" and one tin of "your mother".
This answer may be colored by the kind of workday I'm having. Don't take me too seriously.

I would go with 10x10 as I like variety. This list can change weekly as I open aged tins here and there.

50 tins of an unnamed, readily available in the US, Lakeland produced tobacco. (if you know, you know. If you don't know, it's terrible and not worth looking into.)

You may always find lat bombs out of favor now. Try Black Frigate.
If I could get 100 tins of 20th Anniversary McClellands, I'm in.
I get 34 of Six Pence, 33 of Stonehenge, and 33 of Mad FIddler. They would be in as large as tin as I could find.
I'd probably go with 4x25, with 25 tins of:
- Capstan Blue
- Full Virginia Flake
- GLP Quiet Nights
- Another 25 of Capstan Blue
