Curious question…do you fellas & ladies, if they are any present, suppose we in the Pipesmagazine.com membership cellar or buy as we go? I believe that most pipe smokers are utilitarian worldwide & simply enjoy a handful of pipes at best with their favorite blend. I used to cellar “tons of tobaccos”…bags, jars, tins & tubs of the stuff. I’d chase after the bags of gold & the stuff that was unobtainable. However, I realized that collecting & cellaring s of pounds of tobacco was completely impractical for me. I mean, I never was going to smoke it all and would likely die having my better half left throwing out smelly tobacco totes full of the glorious .
Now, I enjoy a small cellar of blends I know I love …Haunted Bookshop, Pegasus, St. Bruno, Victorian Match, Opening Night, Luxury Bullseye Flake and some odd & ends here and there from past collections. All told I’ve probably 20-40 lbs of tobacco and don’t see the need for cellaring more for practical purposes. If I need to re-up on a blend I stock up. I no longer chase discontinued & hard to find stuff as it makes no sense for me. Especially, when there is so much good stuff readily available.
What is your mileage & I understand it may vary? ️
