One or more?

I guess my taste buds are not as good as others. When I smoke 3-4 bowls in a day, all with different blends, I can't seem to appreciate each one as perhaps the prior smokes with other blends messes up my palate. So, I pretty much smoke multiple bowls of the same blend each day which helps me get a truer taste of what I am smoking. In the evenings, I do tend to light up an aromatic for after dinner dessert.

Obviously from the posts, circumstances may dictate how many different blends you smoke. If most of your smoking is done while you're out, it may be very difficult to carry multiple tins. Most of my smoking is done in my office/man cave, I rarely smoke the same blend twice in a row. I smoke 6 to 8 bowls per day all different blends.
I don't eat breakfast cereal 3 straight meals. Or steak. Or anything else for that matter. So why would I smoke the same blend all day? To each their own however. I have around 20 different blends open at the moment.

Very good point @Hoosierpipeguy never thought of it like that! All very good input, neat how diverse

The group is. So many different styles and yet so many similarities!

More. I got a mix of tins in my gear when out working. Don't know why as it's usually first up, first in.

I usually smoke different blends during the week: Lat blends, Va blends, Burley blends. But if I get to smoke in the morning, I will always smoke Chelsea Morning before something else.

I've got over 80 blends in the closet and just pull out a jar and smoke it until it's gone then on to the next. I've got holiday specific pipes that I break up the routine with, but that's rare.

I frequently smoke several bowls of the same blend in a variety of pipes, to taste how each pipe contributes to the experience.

I enjoy variety but also consistency. I've become more 'consistent' over time, realizing what suits me is simple combinations of Virginia and Burley tobacco.

Ahhh , the joys of a good premium tobacco blend ..

Varies for me. Usually depends on where I'm at & what my purpose is. I'll usually have Black Frigate or some other C&D blend, my regular aro from Gatlinburlier, 3 Nuns, or whatever tin I grab before leaving the house. Normally I'll smoke at least 2-3 of one before switching out.
