Tobacco Cellar Tops 100 Pounds, Now What?

zitotczito · May 5, 2015

Well my cellar has now topped the 100 pound mark thanks to the SPC bulk sale and the 100 pound total was my goal and then I would stop. I also now have 20 various pipes with many cobs not included in the total.
My problem is now I am having an anxiety attack. The thought of stopping my tobacco cellaring has me in fear, how do I stop, please I need your help here. I still have a year before I retire and I should have enough for a lifetime but I can't seem to stop. So many blends and so little time, a conundrum to say the least.
Should I cut the credit cards up or go until I get myself on the most cellared list on TobaccoCellar, and then what.
I am at a loss here, please help.

I wish I could help. But your situation reminds me of the drunk trying to find sobriety at the local bar.

Easy....start smokin' brother....start smokin'! :D
Seriously though, keep cellaring new blends if you wish. Aged tobacco will not be hard to sell in the future if you feel you have a surplus. : puffy

How about a goal of trying to empty your cellar one bowl at a time?

Start sending some to me, then you can keep your purchasing going to replenish

Oh, go ahead and buy more. Lots more. Lots, lots more. Peck and Harris will show you how. They know the way! : puffy

Sounds like a pretty good problem to have!
Maybe you should try to just ease the purchasing to stay in line with your current consumption. Only buy to replace your used stock until you retire. Win-win. : puffy

I dont know what 100 pounds of baccy looks like. I maybe have 10 and my wife is already asking when I am going to stop. Poor thing, she has no clue.......or maybe she does. If you got all of lifes other issues sorted out and have the extra money then keep buying. As jkrug said it will not be hard to sell if you decide to!!!! Call it a retirement plan.

I am approaching age 77 and have more than Ivan use! But there is always something new or i have not tried. Therefore I replace favorites and add one new with any tobacco order. Now

As to pipes I have problems!, Shel

An idea would be to to buy a tin of something you haven't tried for each tin you smoke. Imagine how many new blends that would be!

rcstan · May 5, 2015

Start smoking it up. Even if you smoke a pound a month 8O what you have on hand would last you about 8 years .....

You dont have to stop, you just dont need to buy so much.

I have the same problem. Somebody stop me before I hurt myself, puleeze! :crying:

You reached your 100# goal. Now set it for 1,000# ! : puffy

I'd prefer you keep spending, it's good for the economy.

Stop spending and start smoking. Start enjoying what you've built.

The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly. He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I don't have room to store my crops?' He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."'
"But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?' So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

— Luke 12:16-21
You don't have to be religious to see the wisdom. Start smoking, Zito.

Back in the 1700's and early 1800's the aristocrats measured their wealth according to how much snuff they owned. There were actually rooms and closets filled to capacity with snuff. Why should we not do the same with pipe tobacco??? Albeit I am nothing of an aristocrat or one of means, but it doesn't stop me from filling my dreams of pipe tobacco wealth. lol
