I promised myself I would be done cellaring by the end on 2013, and I have essentially hit that goal with around 600 lbs put away. My stash is tracked here: http://tobaccocellar.com/peckinpahhombre
I still want to add a bit of Penzance and Stonehaven when I see it (doesn't everyone?), and a few incremental additions to my LJ Peretti stable, but I am essentially done.
For me, 2014 will be a time to focus on pipes and enjoying other aspects of the hobby.
I want to thank Harris - I couldn't have done this without him. Ok, he is a bit pompous and a true Floridian plutocrat through and through, but he was still somewhat helpful in spite of his obvious character flaws, lol.
Now, I carefully did the math today and at my current pace I am only burning through 3 lbs per year - so, at the tender age of 44, I have a sizeable buffer in the event that my smoking increases as I approach retirement.
All in all, I am quite pleased with how things have turned out. 2013 will be a year to remember in the hobby.
I am looking forward to 2014.

Very impressive indeed. Of course any super nice pipe you have gathering dust could trade for some of my Penzance stash. Just to help out as it were. Really though well done and would love some pics

I am in awe...and the good news is that because you and Harris have completed your cellars, market conditions in the world of tobacco will return to normal....

Your children will have a pre established cellar if they choose to smoke in the future. Your grandchildren and perhaps great grandchildren will also be set as well.
Congratulations on reaching your goal.

Woodsroad, to paraphrase Warren Zevon - Send tobacco, guns & money the sh*t has hit the fan! :puffy:

I have posted some pics on various threads along the way, but I haven't taken anything recently.
This is from May: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/some-cellar-shots
I think the most recent shots were from 3 months ago at the end of this thread: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/cellar-jars-sealing-themselves

What about matches? You'll need at least 600,000 matches for that amount of tobacco. Plus a buffer, of course.
