I never was one to stock a lot of blends until lately. Was just counting what I had. Peterson Wild Atlantic, John Bull, Captain Black Royal, CB Gold, Paladin Black Cherry, Middleton Cherry Blend, PA Soft Vanilla, P A Regular, C'est La Vie, Erin Go Bragh, Velvet, Middleton Walnut, Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish, Borkum Riff Cherry. Next month, I will add PS Proper English, Match Presbyterian, Lane Black Raspberry, and a couple more.

Yup, but I am enjoying English type blends mote and more. The aros on the next order could very well be replaced by some non-aromatic blends. |

I wish I liked aro's more, they just don't deliver the smoke I want....I envy aro smokers in that they really are the best ambassadors for the hobby....aro smoke is pretty awesome. English blends are typically the opposite in that regard, Mel.  |

Wild Atlantic is a great blend Use to be much better, even AJ noticed with the new pouch he recently opened. PS
Charlie, try SWRA.....it’s definitely not over topped and you definitely taste the tobacco 👍 |

Nice list there, mel64us. I have around 40 tins or pouches at the minute. It's a meagre list, but with prices so high over here, it's a slow burn list! |

English blends are typically the opposite in that regard, Mel. Smoked pipes since '97 and wasn't an aro-man. Scotty's Trout Stream and Butternut Burley changed that and since then I found The Country Squire Old Toby and Second Breakfast. Next time you order you should toss a sample in, it's worth it. |

Lifetime supply of preferred Esoterica, McClelland, Dunhill and Mac Baren offerings. I also have a smattering of others as well.
I've never done anything half-arse. If it's worth going - It's worth doing right.

When my Watch City order arrives next week I will be at 77 different blends at hand. I need to do a count as to how many are currently open on my smoking shelf. I'm guessing 45 - 50, but I might be surprised. All this accumulation has happened in 8 months; amazing how it creeps up on you. If you would have asked me 8 months ago how many blends I would have by now, I would guessed ten or twenty; TAD at work.

I counted last night, I have 31 tobacco’s in my current rotation opened. A few are aromatics, Wilke #191 being my favorite with Butternut Burley & SWRA being my top 3 aromatics. I have two dessert blends I mix to create a wonderful after meal smoke👌👍👍

I have around 30 jars and 15 ziplocs in my current "rotation." A wide range... straight vas's, aros, englishes, burleys, lat bombs, etc...

Mel is more of an OTC King, but his choice of non-OTC Proper English rocks. Just tried some and it's great. Not a PS EOS, but up there

I've noticed something similar for myself. |

I keep under a dozen tins active at any one time, and most of those I throw in a bail top. Too many random tins to think about, but cellared fairly deep: Vintage Syrian, Smyrna, Quiet Nights, Black House, Balkan Sasieni, Margate, EOS and Balkan Supreme. Have Frog Morton Cellar and Gaslight put away for trading.

I've got over 100 blends in my closet and they are all fair game. Aging doesn't do enough for tobacco to garner my interest in that pursuit, but any significant aging that happens is due to not getting around to smoking it yet. I found some Penzance in my closet from 2007 last year in the back of the closet that I had completely forgotten about.
