Individual tobacco availability comes and goes. Presently Samuel Gawith is largely unavailable (except Navy Flake--which is good). Don't fret over short term shortages of abc or xyz, they will be around again.
There are plenty of great blends anyone could cellar that seemingly are always available. These include:
Peter Stokkebye---Luxury twist, Luxury Navy Flake, Luxury Bullseye Flake, Cube Cut
Newminster #400 Superior Navy Flake and Newminster #403 Superior Round Slices.
All are on the cheap end of the spectrum ($30-40 ish/ lb) and are readily available in large bulk quantities. They are all good and all worth trying. So buy some mason jars for $7, and get to it.
Feel free to add any other cheap and readily available blends for beginner cellaring.
