One (Or A Few) Tobaccos?

[dottlejockey]

Variety, as i have 50-60 open blends on the shelf at all times. However, there are blends that i have 1-2 bowls of daily. Pegasus is one of these. So if i were to only smoke a few blends, this would certainly remain one of them.

I’ve been smoking pipe for about 3 1/2 years now. Still have yet to open a second tin after the first of any blend. I love the variety.

Evening Piper,

I know lots of you have a large rotation of tobaccos and welcome the variety. On the other hand, even though I have a large and varied cellar I find myself smoking the same two or three tobaccos all the time...Orlich Golden Sliced and its twin Boswells Private Stock and Pegasus. Just curious if any of you find yourself smoking the same tobacco(s), and if so, what?

Yorktown is my main smoke, five bros is my next, I keep one English or Scottish blend around, and EGR was my number three. I a few times a year get a few tins of something else when I just start getting bored.
I am the same way with nasal snuff too. After trying many I've found for me that while I do enjoy trying new things and will continue to do so. With my tobacco use it's more about familiarity and how well it agrees with me.

I'm trying to simplify my life, so several from LJ Peretti (No Name and Wild Cherry) with the occasional Atalaya thrown in.

Having a "rotation" seems too disciplined for me as a means of regulating my pipe smoking. Rather, I have go to blends, and then a bunch of open tins that I might dip into at whim. Out of that stable of open tins, what I like and what I don't become obvious to me without overthinking my pipe smoking. It's my personal world ruled by whim and circumstance. Some tins get emptied while others languish.

My go to blends are Pegasus and D&R Two Timer (sweetened with a bit of Stoved Virgina or DFK) - both still in the same pound bag they came in because, why bother?

Current open "tins" that I favor this week are Toscano Maestro Puccini, one or both of the GH Bogies, GLP Horizons. and Peretti's Royal. GLP Quiet Nights is a sort of "sub-go-to" blend - it's always around. What "open tins" I favor this week will likely change in a month.

I enjoy variety, but often work on just a few blends at a time. A blend will reveal itself more comprehensively when smoked continuously over a shorter period of time. I enjoy that.

Then, just when I think how much I enjoy variety, I read a post like this and realize just how many blends I’ve never tried!

I need variety, but am definitely transitioning to a deeper, rather than wider pantry.

As @Pipke noted, I can’t (or don’t wish to) commit to a rotation of anything (tobak or pipes)-seems like too much like work to me.

I am learning to dedicate pipes to genres at least, perhaps only intellectually at the present rather than practical application.

I’m just over here trying to have a good time…
