How many blends have you tried?

**Arkie_** · 08-10-2012, 16:04

I've tried about 100 blends but I'm likely a novice compared to many of you. Many of the blends I've smoked over the last 40 years are now unavailable. Some of those were wonderful and some were awful.

I have no idea!!! I have more than 200 different blends cellared and have been smoking pipes 35 years.

I'm a newer guy, probably 50 or a few more

According to the spreadsheet som'eres around 86.
Add in the few not entered into the sheet prolly between 90 and 100.

At this point it's really hard to try new stuff, rarely anything introduced that intrigues me that much.
But the exploring has been fun!

In a bit over a year probably 20-ish...happy to have found about 5 that I am VERY pleased with!

I would guess I'm a lot nearer to one hundred than fifty, and I think I've got close to forty different things in the old cellar, some I smoke, some that I keep thinking I'll come back to. My short list of things I do want to try is getting shorter than it used to be, though, as I'm finding myself more often wanting to enjoy something with a proven track record than I do wanting to take a chance on some new thing. I have a small handful of tins in the cellar that I haven't cracked open yet, so when the urge to explore strikes, I have options other than going to the pipe store.
