I know where all my tins are. I can’t find my wife though. She said something while I was organizing my Va/Pers but I can’t recall what it was. I think that was monday?
State of MY cellar -- non-existent. House is on a slab. However I make up for it by spreading the leaf around. In he garage, in the bedroom, in the living room, on the sofa, in the computer room, in the garage, (yes, I know), in the car, the car, & the car. "Honey, I'm good." -- A. Grammer

@npod - WOW Neal! Can we get a *NSFW* tag for the forum. Might need to go take a cold shower on my lunch break now. Cheeeeezus.
Also, as someone who's just started to venture into cellaring nicer blends, any tips of organization?

It is going to depend on a lot of factors. How much room do you have to cellar? How much do you want to cellar in terms of amount and length of time? What blends are you going to cellar, bulk, bagged, square, or round tins?
I use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of what I have. I have a lot of plastic storage bins that I have numbered. On my spreadsheet I track which bins the tobacco is in. I store bagged tobacco and tins in the storage bins and I have bulk blends jarred and stored in a large converted armoire. I store my open tins jarred and in racks where I can access what I feel like smoking at that time.

(CTPD) Compulsive Tobacco Purchasing Disorder - I am beginning to see how easily this can develop. I already have 1 and 2 oz samples of tobacco everywhere. I have yet to begin to cellar really- or buy in bulk some of my favorites.. I am just in the beginning phases of wanting to try everything and already the tobacco is piling up.
I just fell on the floor npod, am 63 and been smoking pipes for a LONG time. I THOUGHT I had lots ready to go, but this, THIS puts my collection in the toilet...
I need more, MORE...

Admiring your cellar, npod. I've only got maybe 15 pounds worth (mostly just a few jarred bulk blends plus a limited collection of my favorite tins), which is pretty easy to keep track of, so I thought that the whole spreadsheet thing was kinda goofy. However, if I had a collection like that, I would definitely keep a spreadsheet just so I could find what I was looking for, as you mentioned.
I try to live within the limits of my own confusion. However, I can never take a hike though my stash (not really expansive enough for a hike, more like a lurch or two) without finding something I didn't remember I had. I have 8 and 2 oz unopened cans of Potlatch, but otherwise have no duplicates. I have a tub or two. At a bowl or two a day, it takes me time to finish off a tin in rotation. For me, I have a gracious plenty.
