Smoking Habits?

[canvas]

I was curious about other members smoking habits. I tend to have about 4 tins open at any given time (with access to a few I shelved in mason jars) and almost always smoke a different blend each day. Each night I will have a few bowls of one blend (depending on my mood) and the next night it will invariably be a different one... once I do finish a tin, a new one enters the rotation.
So, do many of you also rotate blends, or only attack one blend at a time until it is empty (ie. one tin or pouch), or stay true and always smoke the same kind for years, or something else?

I have 37 open tins or containers of tobacco. I like variety and my mood dictates my tobacco selection. Some days it’s a codger blend other days it might be a straight Virginia or maybe an English. I suspect that you will hear a variety of answers on this site. But the main thing is to make sure you’re using quality sealing containers if you have a lot of open tins.
Smoke on...

About 30 tins open currently. All stored in mason jars. However I will zero in on a blend periodically and focus on it almost exclusively. But I like variety myself.

I have probably around 20 blends in baggies I've traded for to sample different blends I really need to smoke or do something with soon. Only about two tins open technically.

I have 9 jars right now but to be perfectly honest, 4 of those are blends that I did not really enjoy after the first bowl. They're sitting in the linen closet for at least a few more months to see if my tastes change.

It's not a habit, it's a hobby. ::

 

[aimlesswanderer]

I'm erratic.
I have two blends "live" at the moment, since finishing one earlier today. I tend to have maybe three on the go at any time, but tend to focus on one, and just use the others as a bit of a change.
I'd be happy to stick with one blend indefinitely, but I haven't found a blend that I feel that settled with yet.

 

[ashdigger]

I went and counted after my less than forthright answer...... I have 18 jars in active use.

 

[warren]

Six or eight, maybe more, are open and being smoked with some degree of regularity. Now and then I lose track of a tin or two which have to be moistened a bit when stumbled onto.

 

[didimauw]

99% of my smokes is Carter Hall. I have to be very careful of my other 1%, my mouth tends to hate everything else. Virginia especially. Been this way since I started smoking a pipe 5 years ago.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Variety, yes! It's all good, whether you're smoking one blend or twenty in a given week. I'm somewhere around six open jars, rest in sealed jars or unopened tins or bags.

 

[pagan]

I keep around 2 dozen blends in stock and about 6-8open at any time plus the tubs of my codger smokes

 

[addamsruspipe]

I usually have 3 aromatics and 4 other tins going at the same time. Then I will have a couple random that I will grab depending on the mood I am in.

 

[Perique]

I'm with what appears to be the majority in that I have at least two dozen blends open and in rotation at any given time.

 

[murica]

About twenty or thirty. I like my stuff dry, so I crack them, smoke it fresh, see if I like it, and then dip in when I want to until theyre gone.

Well rotation seems to be the norm, I guess that makes me normal .

 

[dottiewarden]

I tend to have about 4 tins open at any given time (with access to a few I shelved in mason jars) and almost always smoke a different blend each day.

My situation is similar, however I tend to smoke more than one blend over the course of the day. Currently I have Erinmore Flake, Original Choice and a tin of Jubilee open, having just finished a tin of Presby Mixture.

 

[framitz]

Currently open. Penzance wilke high hat fro Morton ott dunhill

London mixture and McCray England red ribbon. Never codgers or aromatics have about forty variations. Shel

 

[didache]

I don't like to have too many on the go at once. At the moment:
Old Ironsides

Balkan Sobranie

John Cotton No 2

Sherlock's Choice

Frog Morton
I prefer to have just a couple open at any given time.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

Due to time shortage, I hardly manage to smoke more than 3-4 bowls per day and this why only keeping couple tins or pouches open at a time, which is a real shame and ridiculous.The forementioned circumstances is a definite result of widely spread smoking bans /restrictions,
