Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this sport. Sure thankful for all the knowledge I get from this forum. 
Tobacco Rotation?

Flat earth theory is gaining traction around the globe…
I don't rotate my tins. Never heard of rotating tins. The only time I pull out my tins and maybe rotate them is when I'm digging for a new tin to open or the rare occasion, I re-arrange my cabinet. Otherwise, they sit in the same position for very long periods at a time.
Love all the creative answers, by the way.

Don't forget to take the coriolis effect into account
Yes that makes a big difference. If you live exactly on the North pole then you have to take into account the lack of coriolis effect on the tobacco.
Please do not spread this misinformation!!
It’s been highly entertaining to read all of the responses to my “question.”
It’s also been amusing to find out that not everyone got the joke I was making…

As much as I figured it was a joke, I gave a normal reply in case you were serious. Glad it was only a joke.It’s been highly entertaining to read all of the responses to my “question.”

I group tobacco together, then rotate the jars as I smoke them so I am always smoking something different to scratch and itch. Examples:
Easy morning smoking pile:
Wessex Gold Slice
Opening night
Capstan Yellow
CVP
LTF
Mid morning smokes:
Capstan blue
CBP
Peterson flake
LA Luxury/Classic flake

For me, I start with the lighter more delicate tasting tobaccos and work my way up to the heavier tasting blend throughout the day. This prevents me from taxing my taste buds early, or smoking one that is more delicate after smoking a heavy latakia.
For example, maybe an aromatic with my coffee as I wake up, then straight virginias for the next few bowls. Then, I smoke a Vaper, then maybe a burley for the next few. Then a latakia if I am going to smoke a latakia that day. Then I would end the day with something heavier like GH&co Dark Flake, Nightcap, or C&D Burley Flake #1.
However, I am not all dogmatic about it. It is just the order I usually try to follow. I just don't like having more than five tobaccos open at any given time.

Not really into the rotation / sloppy seconds thing, but I do know Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'.
FIFO - restaurant slang for first in, first out to rotate stock.
BTW, the world keeps spinning regardless. So jump on the carousel and hang tight while taking things with a sense of humor and grain of salt. Don't complicate things or sweat the small stuff (and damn near everything is the small stuff, especially when it comes to enjoying tobacco).
