I keep hearing people talk about their tobacco rotation, but it’s never really explained.
By how many degrees, and how often, should I be turning my tins?

Depends on the moon's phase
Depends on whether the tins are phototropic, or not.
1 degree every day with 5 rest days for New Year’s Day, each solstice, ground hogs day and April fools.
Seasons, whether of the year or day or flights of fancy. I have 100 or more blends and just reach for whatever. YMMV
Which one is your go-to for when you sit down to throughly read a post?
I usually do a rotisserie style, turning every 10 minutes or so.
Guess sarcasm isn't my first language , no snipe meant
World travelling sailors used a sextant, considered hours of daylight and moon phase, and invented Navy Flake.
There is no need to rotate tins. What you should be doing is storing them upside down and flipping them over prior to opening. Anything else is just more round earth conspiracy
Tried it once and failed.
Entire contents of the pipe bowl fell out the moment I rotated the pipe. In trying to brush it it off, the ember lodged between my left thigh and testicles. Reflex action, I swatted at it, which, as should have been expected, caused a sharp shooting pain in the nether regions. Tried to stand up but tripped on the pipe which had fallen to the floor, which caused a big contusion to my forehead. In my dizzy state I grabbed what I thought was a towel to tamp out the burning ember but it was actually an oily rag in the shop, which bust into flames, engulfing my entire groin area. The insurance company, for some unknown reason, rejected my claim for physiotherapy and reconstructive surgery.
Moral of the story, don't rotate tobacco.

Word on the street is that for fear of exactly this scenario is why @JimInks prefers blends with Brazilian tobacco
somehow I now get this dark feeling that your last words are going to be "that was seal blood".
Geez guys.
Every time I smoke my pipe, I do the Hokey Pokey and turn myself around. And now you tell me that's not what it's all about.

I allow my tins to naturally rotate with the Earth.
Add a quarter turn, but be careful because that could also turn a phone booth into a time traveling vehicle.
