Just out of curiosity, list how many different tobaccos you keep in your rotation.

I have nine, broken into three groups, loose cut blends, flakes, rubbed blends; spread over four different manufacturers.
Mac Baren, Davidoff, Peterson, Escudo.

I'm wondering if I have too many in the rotation, or is it about right?

 
Generally 3 or 4; enough to give me a nice choice. Of course if I smoked more, I'd likely want to up that a bit! (Just finished off some Carter Hall yesterday, so only have three at the moment: Royal Jersey Perique, Sir WR, Squadron Leader -- when one of those gets low, I'll either open a virginia flake or one of the three Revelation clones)
 
I keep 20 small jars upstairs near my pipes, and that represents most of what I smoke each week. But I've got probably 50 or so open jars in the basement, so when I absolutely have to have that particular blend, it's only a 10 second walk to get there.

Embarcadero?

It's a red Va flake with some oriental. Very good.

I have about 20 open. I've kind of gone off the Lat blends in the warmer weather of late so need to pack these away.
 
I used to keep no more than 5 tins open; now I must have 30-40. But I have some reason for so many in that I keep segregated regular from HO tobacco, and naturally I have to have an ample selection of each!
 
Sitting on 6 blends that are out of their tins. 3 I tend to smoke on the move, and the other 3 I tend to smoke exclusively at home.

A most lamentable situation which must be remedied as quickly as possible ! :bounce:

Very subtle stuff that can take a while to "get." But once you do, wow ! :cheers:

Given a forced choice (desert island) it would be Embarcadero over VFV.

I've got open jars of tobacco stashed in several cupboards, along with a few tins and lots of samples. A pure guess on my part would be at least 35-40. I like all types of blends and smoke them regularly.

Mephisto and SPC Plum Pudding. Mephisto is my go to right now because it pretty much has to go. It's old enough already!

It does sound like something I should try, so I'll add it to my list!
Thanks!

So Mike, can you answer the question I've had for years; are you six months ahead of us in the Southern Hemisphere, or six months behind? :lol:
