I have also seen people discussing what seem like quite structured habits around what they smoke and when. I’ve never developed anything like that myself, but I have noticed there are some times that I lean towards certain tobaccos. Virginia based ones are my mainstay, but occasionally weeks or longer I seem to click more with burleys or Latakia blends than others. I haven’t noticed a time of year correlation with that for me though.

I usually will have something in mind that sounds good for my next smoke and go with that. At the times when nothing in particular comes to mind, I will often just start opening jars and smelling them until one seems like it. 

I only have one rule that I tend to follow, is lighter tobaccos (bright leaning Virginias, Mac Baren roll cakes and twists, etc.) are earlier in the day picks for me. Many of them I can barely taste or smell after a strong blend, even if it’s been hours. Certain foods will also dull my taste enough to make lighter blends a waste of time. 

I often encourage newer smokers to occasionally pick one blend they like and smoke nothing but that for at least a couple of days. There are things that open up about a blend from doing that that one might never experience bouncing around from blend to blend. It can also be a great way to reset so to speak from experiencing fatigue from smoking too many different blends. 

I am a free spirit in my tobacco rotation. I could go from Plum Pudding to Escudo Navy Deluxe to Creme brule all before lunch. I have never had any structure, rhyme or reason in my selection. If it sounds good I smoke it! 

I do believe i have my preferences but i don´t follow it as rule.

I´ve been smoking 3 bowls a day and i believe i reached my perfect spot. Sometimes less, never more.
Once it said i´d prefer Dark fired and English mixtures at morning. Usually i don´t smoke them before going to sleep.
Aromatics usually fits anytime in the day, so in my mind there is no bad time for pick one of them.

To avoid any mismatch the tip Ted said is perfect, opening jars and smelling lots of them makes easy to find what your "body" is keen for today.

I do not have a properly rotation. I mostly smoke different tobaccos that I know very well and I like much. From time to time I buy new ones based on recommendations, curiosity, or lack of availability of my favorites, which sadly is my case these days (Rattray´s and Dan Tobacco have disappeared from Spanish shelves).  If I like them, they become part of my stash. I smoke one, maybe two tobaccos along the day, and once I open the jar, I smoke it until the end. I smoke two, and If I´m lucky, three bowls a day. I smoke bolder blends when it´s cold and lighter ones on summer. Summer is also the season to smoke Orientals and Virginia without Latakia, but The Magic Jar, with superb, divine, pure Sirian Latakia is never far from me.

All in all, about a dozen different tobaccos that I call "The twelve Apostles", but if I lived in the US, that selection could be called "The Senate", or "The Congress", because could have dozens of members. 

No rotation for me. I just have my more commonly smoked blends at the front of the shelves in my tobacco cabinet. I usually spend at least 5-10 minutes deciding which blend I’m in the mood for. I’ve got much better at choosing the right one, with experience. In the past, I’ve even emptied a bowl that I wasn’t enjoying because I’d picked the wrong blend. I haven’t done that for a long time now, though 🤞

No rotation yet. That’s at least a few steps down the road for me, if ever. I’m still exploring. In the past 4 weeks, I’ve bought 9 new blends, and haven’t even tried them all yet. ha, ha
