Was in a spring cleaning kind of mood because a storm blasted us with heavy wet snow in Denver and I had to spend the day trimming branches and bushes. I fired up some CBK on the patio afterwards. I made my way back in and moved stuff around in the cabinet. Kind of prepare myself for the upcoming pipe smoking season (summer break) by selecting tins I want to start working on.

This is the photo from May 10, 2014. Last year.

I don't recall my cabinet being as low only a year ago.
Anyways, here's the rest of my set up as of today. Including a cameo by my humidor.

Great pics cmdr. The tobacco cellar is looking much healthier this year.

I need to organize mine as well. I don't have a lot in there but what I do have is scattered about haphazardly.
What is the press beside your humidor?

Fun Fact: I don't keep the humidor there, it is stored in a drawer in the bottom of the cabinet.
As for the press, it is a cigar box press. When the cigars come out of the mold, this piece of equipment was to compress the cigars in their boxes.

Happened to me too. I went from a couple ounces to 8 pounds in about a year when I got more serious about it in 2013.

I started three years ago; I still think of myself as a newbie. "Two, maybe three pipes," I said to myself at the beginning. But PAD already took hold and now I must have about 25 pipes at least, and more if I didn't donate or trade off some pipes that lost their attraction for me. (We're so fickle!) And more tobacco than I ever thought possible to the point I'm enlisting a forum member friend to build a cabinet. I just pulled the trigger today on another Irish Harp. I'm gonna end up in the streets someday.

I know the feeling, sparrowhawk. I just went to my fifth tub. Just make sure when you go to the street you have a pull cart. A guys gotta have a way to keep up with his baccy and pipes when he loses everything else :mrgreen:

+1 @sparrow, yeah this thing snowballs to different degrees. I did a lot of cellaring. I think I have more than enough tons set aside for smoking, but the majority of the stuff I have is for aging.

Nice cellar! I'm still in that classic broke college student part of life where I buy a tin or a couple ounces bulk at a time. Hopefully this next paycheck with afford me with some extra tobacco cash. Do my eyes deceive me or are those some Peterson systems up in the corner rack?
