Nearing the End of Cellarmania

peckinpahhombre · May 8, 2013

My cellar is nearing completion. I still have about 25 more pounds on the way, which should take me up to about 350. Ok, I have gone a little crazy here, but so many of my favourite blends have (magically) been in stock over the last couple months that I just couldn't resist.
Here is where the cellar sits at this very moment:

All I can say is WOW :worship:

kashmir · May 8, 2013

Totally blown away!

Whatta cellar!

bentmike · May 8, 2013

In the long haul that thing will probably do as good or better than a 401K.
Congrats peck that is an fantastic collection.

What are the adoption policies in Canada? I'm sure we could work something out.

peckinpahhombre · May 8, 2013

It's funny Sam, I only recently tried the Mc Holy Trinity and quite like all three. I have a few more tins of Blackwoods, St James Woods and Dark Star on the way. I find all 3 pretty good stuff and think there is incredible aging potential there for sure.

I think I'm more impressed of your tracking! I just throw mine in in the cellar and forget. :clap:

peckinpahhombre · May 8, 2013

Also, i found out about two other tobaccos rather late in the game that I really enjoy: Sunday Picnic and Briar Fox. I love both and likely will be adding a couple of pounds of each. I also ordered sample tins of Night Train and Opening Night, as I haven't tried those yet either.

I know where Im heading once the zombie apocalypse hits. Dont worry Peck, Ill sleep in the yard if I have to. Or the deck. Do you have a deck? :mrgreen:

peckinpahhombre · May 8, 2013

I do have a deck, but it's already crawling with zombies - well, two Golden Retrievers (neither of which have managed to retrieve a single bit of gold since we go them).

You are the gold standard of cellaring. Would love to see a pic of it all.

numbersix · May 8, 2013

Wow - words escape me. Very impressive!

lucky695 · May 8, 2013

Peck, I went to your tobaccocellar.com link, and #1 I"m doing that...and #2 I noticed that everything is less than 6 months old. Am I to understand that you have done all this in 6 months? That makes all the more impressive... In a month I have aquired about 15# but nothing like that rate. I know it is better to get it spent now becasue it will be more costly later. Good work. How are your storing it? I bought an old cabinet and already know that it will be too small... DON'T TELL MY WIFE!

peckinpahhombre · May 8, 2013

Am I to understand that you have done all this in 6 months? ... . How are your storing it?

Yes, all in 6 months. My wife said that she and the women at the post office were going to organize an intervention for me, lol.
I have a lot of space so storing isn't an issue. Everything is in a bunch of cabinets in a climate controlled environment.
I posted a few pictures of some of my stuff a couple weeks back on another thread when I started to organize it all; however, I will eventually do a complete series of photos.
So far, my only nervousness in terms of storage are those 8 oz H&H tins for my Anni Kake - I haven't jarred them up yet and am still debating whether I should. As I said, everything is climate controlled, including humidity so my current thinking is that I'm not that worried about it. That said, I have tried to contact P&C to ask them about the efficacy of those tins for long term storage and haven't heard anything back yet.

tjameson · May 8, 2013

Peck your cellar is a thing of beauty! I would jar up the 8oz H&H tins I've had an 8oz tin from maybe a year ago that showed some rust in the bottom.

lucky695 · May 8, 2013

climate controlled how? I have mine in a cupboard in the basement on display in my man cave... next to the snooker table. Do I need to be doing anything different?

peckinpahhombre · May 8, 2013

I don't know where you are, but I am in Ontario. We have cold winters and hot summers. My stash is in an area that is temperature controlled - ie A/C in the summer and heat in the winter, so it is always at around 70 degrees. Further, I have a system that controls the humidity so that the house is at a constant humidity level. The only thing that would worry me about storing it in a basement would be if your basement has too much humidity, as some basements do. Yours may be fine.

misterlowercase · May 8, 2013

Yes, all in 6 months. My wife said that she and the women at the post office were going to organize an intervention for me, lol.

:lol:

Don't let em do no intervent'n !
I'm jawdropt.
Well done sir, very well done.
If there was an award for best blitzTAD, you'd win it!

(with bonus points for good taste!)
I saw the Fort Knoxish pictures of your cellar and it was all eye-glaze skullfuck,

a thing of wonder, like the lost city of gold!
The thing dreams are made of!

lucky695 · May 8, 2013

i'm in Missouri, so it's seasonal. Humid in the summer for certain. Dry in the winter. I have some McClelland tins that I am worried about, but other than that I think I am ok with my jars and other tins.

teufelhund · May 8, 2013

I'm in the same boat lucky; If you have access to a basement it's pretty near perfect. I am extremely jealous Peck; glad you paid attention when you learned how to use excel. I loled when I saw you chart break downs. Good job. Happy smoking. :clap:
