A Years Growth of the Moderate Smokers Cabinet

Some of you have some extravagant spending limits and many more years on me in acquiring pipes and tobaccos. I on the other hand have a bit more modest means, though mine could be considered extravagant by other folks standards. In the little more than a year I have been smoking pipes I have accumulated 15 pipes (I've had others but some I let go of and others that came in lots I cleaned and sold) and over 6 lbs of tobacco on hand.
6 lbs is probably @peck's typical weekend order. My cabinet doesn't have much space -and like others- I would get murdered (or worse my cabinet would be thrashed) if I stepped outside those boundaries and expanded.
I'm happy with where I'm at and what I've put in there. I need to purge some of the smaller jars I have from my first 6 months or so. I mean, how much better can over a year old 1Q really be?
So below are the photos from where I started and where I am at after a year (year and 4 months, actually). It is crazy to think how much space I once had last Fall and how little I have now. This next year I am going to need this cabinet to take me far as I won't be making many contributions to it after my second KBB YB Chesterfield shows up next week.
*Not pictured is my practically full medium sized humidor, which now has close to 50 cigars in it.

Thanks. Oh I know there are many ways to continue the growth, but I like keeping things centralized. My cabinet has a bigger brother which I almost bought ... and now wish I had. I really liked the slide bar plus this one fit in my car.

@hunter, the cone topped can is Old Topper Snappy Ale. I built the shelf with old fence slats so I had somewhere to put the tobacco tins I had acquired. The two jars on top are blends I didn't care for that I blended together based on similar properties ... so I may try them again someday in the future and see what they have become. There is also a tobacco knife on the top of the shelf.
One thing I love about this site is seeing all the different approaches to storing, displaying everyone's pipes, jars, tins, tobacciana, etc.
I figured others like that kind of stuff as well so I wanted to post the "before and after" of my last year. My stash began in the small cabinet above the microwave, which now just houses all my pipe cleaning gear and other assorted stuff.

@cobguy, those smaller jars just don't stack for shit otherwise.
@ae1pt, I do know that, sir. Just one of those things where I wish I could, but know I can't and accept it just fine. My fiancé thinks I have too much. I told her "you should see some of these other guys." It works just fine for me though. I just wished I had bought the bigger version of this cabinet. Had twice the space.

@hunter, I only have two tobacco related books up there. One about pipe smoking and the other about cigars. That bookshelf only cost me $25 at American Furniture Warehouse.
@bloodwood, thanks. My fiance and I are both into antiques/rustic stuff. Which is one of the few things we agree on, lol.

Here's what it looked like in mid-July. I must have gotten bit by the TAD bug after that photo.
