It’s a morbid question, but the posts of cellar size had me thinking. I’m certain my heirs will have to deal with my cellar (in addition to my pipes) when I pass, especially given what limited time I’ve had for the pipe lately. I maintain a catalog & description of my cellar which should help. Hopefully there will continue to be a consignment market in the future. Curious what your thoughts are on the subject?
What Will Become of Your Cellar When You Pass?

It’s not a morbid question at all. I think about it for sure. I have no children and no heirs. I drew up an estate plan with my lawyer recently that includes inventory on pipes and tobacco and watches and other collectibles. I have very specific itemized spread sheets made up with individual values and totals. My estate plans are very specific.
There will be instructions to contact Steve Fallon, aka pipestud, and Mr. Gluckner at Briar Blues. I may will my Barlings to the Bard. Dunhills to Duane. Petes to whoever is the biggest Pete basher. OK, jk on last two.
Hoosier, if I adopt you then you have to follow my rules like a good boy. But knowing your strong sense of self, maybe it’s best we just have a side deal. You can have my Royal Yacht for sure.
How about this ... you can have my High Quality Undetectable Counterfeit Banknotes!

I think I'll have a big table at my funeral filled with the books, music, pipes, tobaccos and trinkets that my main heir(s) don't necessarily want... and there will be a sign that reads "take one."
I've left instructions in my will. Whether they will be followed is anyone's guess, but I likely won't care, since I'm dead.
When i am gone i am not going to worry what happens to my pipes or cellar. My wife can throw it in the trash if she wants to.
