I have four to six blends open and available in the office at all times. I usually take two in the field. I usually fill the pipe with whatever is closest at hand. If I'm to try a "different" blend it will be at home in the evening. I rarely try different blends as I settled many years ago on blends I like and trust to beliver a good smoke each and every time.

I usually only have one thing open in the truck, maybe two in the workshop...I tend to smoke through something and then move on, I might smoke the same thing predominantly for a couple of weeks to a month. I like variety but I just get it slower than I used to.

I have grown to love many of the MATCH blends. The middle of the day bowls are usually Match Field and Stream, or Match Hines Mixture, Match Walnut or Match Holiday. At least once a day is designated for Sutliff's Match of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed.

It depends, I generally smoke 2 pipes a day, generally one early in the morning and after lunch or after lunch and after diner. I enjoy a VaOr or Burley in the morning, a Virginia or VaPer during lunch and after diner a latakia or dark fired blend.

I smoke 5 to 6 bowls a day. I usually start with CS Rivendale then something like 965 or Red Rapparee, then some home blended Hobbit Weed and ending with few bowls of Nitecap or something close.

I smoke 4-5 bowls a day and I always start off with a mild Virginia Flake, right now I am working on a 2008 tin of Samuel Gawith Golden Glow. I then go to a dark Virginia like 2012 Astleys no 44 or 2012 Wessex Brigade Campaign dark Flake. I then will smoke a vaper or a vabur. Right now I am working on a tin of 2005 Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky, bulk 2007 Stonehaven, 2012 Mac Baren Old Fired 2012 GL Pease Navigator, 2012 Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls, Solani 633 just to name a few.

I normally have 20-25 tins open at the same time and I have access to my bulk flakes which are not that many. Luckily most of my favorites came in tins as I hate jars because they take up so much room.

I usually do one or two bowls after work and mix it up for variety.
Depending on the weather, I'll also have a bowl before getting ready for bed. It makes me turn off the electrical gizmos sooner to start the brain shutdown process haha
