My Little Cellering Journey (Not Much But I Am Proud Of It)

Lets start with the view from the outside.


Who would of thought such a small cabinet can hold so much joy and anticipation as a child's first time to Disney!!
Now a shot of the inside.

For many of you this isn't alot but for me your looking at at least 10 years of smoking supply being i smoke my pipe maybe three times a week max. However this doesn't mean ill stop buying since i only see my consumption rate increasing as i get older. The tins are all sealed as they will be for many years to come i find aging in tins is the easiest way to do it especially when you have curious nosy friends who like to pop the lids on all the jars and sniff like a blood hounds. For me the tins ensure this does not happen.

Here are my sealed tins.

Macbaren Club Blend - Yet to try.

Macbaren Roll Cake - Tried 3-1/2 year old sample aging these two tins to atleast 5 years.

Bell's Three Nuns - Tried sample loved it aging two tins ??? (Suggestions on Years)

And finally my biggest jar for last.





This big boy holds all the tobacco that i had less then a bowl left in the bag or tin. it holds every kind of leaf and cut. Aros to va/pers, coins to flakes. But no Latakia if you haven't noticed yet i am not a fan of the stuff.
Thats it i hope you enjoyed reading about my cellering experience.

Thanks Gents I love filling up that cabinet its like my treasure i come down and sneak a peek every night lol

Thanks Daimyo good point. The tins actually have the dates taped on the bottom i forgot to mention that the Jars well some do and some don't but like I mentioned above they always get opened anyway. So if i like whats in the jars i usually buy the tin or a separate amount to cellar.

Thanks settersbrace, don't worry at one tin a week friend you will catch up to me quicker then you think, i usually make one order a month of maybe 3-5 tins and some bulk. over that time i give some away, smoke some, trade some. It really helped to join the Bass Pass that way i knew what i wanted to try and buy. As for the diversity in the blends well ive been at this since 2012 and im still trying new blends and discovering new tastes and probably will be for the rest of my life haha. But i love every minute of it.

Also looks like you snuck in one small cigar ... Acid Wafe maybe?

Gurkha Beauty Actually it was giving to me by a cigar guy at one of the lakeshore smokestacks meets. i gave him a pipe and he gave me a cigar. Don't know when ill ever smoke it though.

Yes those are the ones from the box as soon as I got a Whiff of it I knew it was good and something I would smoke. Thanks buddy.

As for the amount I smoke I'm am currently working on finding more time I can sneak a bowl in. The weather is getting better I

Wanna try to

Smoke a bowl at the very least every evening or night

Thanks Dean.
