I am too, a little bit. I’ve got a jar of 2011 FVF that I’ve been dipping into, and an 8 y/o tin of OGS I just opened. When those are done I think I’m gonna pop a 2012 tin McClelland No. 22. Why the hell not?
I Am Done Saving For That Special Occassion.

I'm in the same boat. All tins are fair game. Every day could easily be the last.
"So were they worth cellaring?"
They're worth cellaring and even more they're worth savoring!
They're worth cellaring and even more they're worth savoring!
Screw it! I'm smoking my entire cellar right now in a GIANT, ENDLESS, TOBACCOGASM!
Yep. I have started doing this as well. Recently enjoying some aged Pelican and Penzance. No regrets!
I have so many open tins with remnents in tiny jam jars... at least 48. So in some ways I have been doing this anyway, but now I am going to go buy a couple more flats of jam jars so I can crack even more tins. Thanks Harris!
Thanks for the push I needed to load my last bowl of Sobranie Virginian no. 10. Now trying to pick between a 20 yr old tin of Former's Private Flake, or the first-run Russ&Mike Mindmeld VaPer...
Not with pipe tobacco yet but a few years ago I spent a couple of years smoking up my coolidors that were full of 100's of blue chip cigars that I had been saving for that "special occasion" or home walk in that probably was never going to happen. I was enjoying cigars that had been aging in perfect condition for years on my dive to and from work. ?
I know we’d all love to see photos of the aged leaf and the worthy pipe! Someone feel free to start a “Tomorrow isn’t Guaranteed” thread and we’ll all celebrate together!
This, ahem, interesting period we are living through has led me to start smoking the oldest tins I have been cellaring. Finishing my last tin of Dunhill 73 (opened about one year ago), and now through the middle of a Treasures of Ireland Limmerick tin I bought in July 99. I was raised in a world where you planted olive trees and vines for the enjoyment and financial profit of future generations. None of my sons smoke or want to be attached to land. I have decided I will enjoy the present, although I buy a new tin for each old one I smoke. Just to be assured I have tobacco to smoke for some years while it is still available. If the worst happens, then I´ll have a few years to prepare for the moment when tobacco will be a thing of (a better) past.
I like to hear things like that. However I have no fancy expensive or aged tobacco's. So I wouldn't have the slightest clue anyways. The only time I didn't smoke a blend I wanted to, was because I hadn't ordered more yet. I have my every day tobacco, and I have my "better" tobacco's. But I have the same amount of each in my stash.
They were totally worth cellaring. 1997 and 1998 Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky. 2006 Samuel Gawith Best Brown flake, 2007 Esoterica Stonehaven, 2005 Mac Baren Navy Flake, and many more. I have my eye on a 2007 Peterson Irish Flake. Next week for sure .
