When you are smoking multiple pipes, do you smoke tobacco in any particular order? I tend to smoke Virginias, VaPers, VaBurs first, then English blends next, and then Balkans and Lat heavy blends last. I’m not sure why but it is the pattern I’ve fallen into.

I have no logical thought process when smoking multiple pipes. However, that might be because I often don't expect to have a second pipe. That said, I still don't think I would put any thought into the order of tobacco I smoke.
Perhaps I'm missing out on an epiphany.

I smoke what I’m in the mood for, sometimes late night Lat bombs when I can’t sleep.

I tend to smoke whatever and whenever. I’ve only really recently have been trying specific tobaccos in specific shaped pipes after seeing some threads here. Other than that, it’s totally random

Never really thought about it. Usually smoke Virginias now. If I do smoke an English I do tend to stick with English the rest of the night.

I usually look at my tobaccos in the morning and pick 2 or 3 jars to smoke that day. No set blends, just what I feel like that morning. Today, Frog Morton, Esoterica Brighton, and SPC Puget Sound (haven't tried this one so I grabbed it).
I grab pipes the same way. Two or three for the day. No thought about it. Basically whatever is clean. I have two that are Lakeland dedicated. They don't get used much.

As long as it's a Va, I put no more thought into it.
I try to save the strong ones for late at night though. (Dark Plug, dark Flake, warhorse, brown boogie, etc..)

Lately I've been starting off with an ARO in the morning and whatever is within reach the rest of the day. Been hitting the Burley's hard lately.

Summer: Mid day, I usually go for a light Burley or light Virginia/vaper. The thought of anything heavy during a hot day is not appetizing. Evening, it's heavier vaper/dark fired/dark flake/or heavier lat blends.
Winter: anything goes.

About the same as the majority. No particular thought process or order of loading.

I follow no particular pattern. I reach for whatever open tobacco calls to me at the moment. Although, there is a lot to be said for Burley first thing in the morning.

No rituals here, I just smoke whatever suits my mood, and often smoke the same blend for several days before switching. I've been smoking Sansepolcro since Father's Day.

No rhyme or reason as to how I do it.

I usually just grab a blend and a pipe, put them together and enjoy. Only occasionally do I plan in any order.

I'm similar to your pattern.
I have recently been trying to stick with Burley and Virginias through the day. A light aro never hurts, but I save my heavy aromatics and lat-bombs for later in the evening. I started doing this a few months back when I smoked a couple bowls of Peach aromatics back to back(the second, I added perique to) and actually found I had killed my palate for the night. haha
Some exceptions would be if I were going to smoke English or aromatics all day, then I guess I'd be good there.
It also helps to have beverages or a snack etc to cleanse the palate. Makes sense why so many of you post what you're drinking as well. A simple glass of ice water can really make a bowl that much more delicious. One of the things I learned being here!
