There may be a 12 step program for this. Or, maybe you need a full intervention. You sit in the middle of a circle of your friends,..... they shout out disparaging remarks about you, as a person,..... you beg their forgiveness and then give out all of your cellared tobacco to them!!! Voila! You're cured!:LOL:

After getting a positive response to my posts about my "stash", I figure some of you might like to see some pics. This is most of it, but here are more cans in those drawers and there is a large Igloo ice chest full. Doubt if I'll be buying any tobacco for quite a while. puffy

I just bought a 15# cellar a few weeks ago that I did not need. I bought it for just a few tins I really wanted. It puts me at well over 100# now - it just sort of happened.........
I'm discovering new blends I would have never thought to be interested in.
And, I'll be selling some choice aged.
And I plan on giving a tobacco blessing for Secret Santa.
I do hope to keep myself under control for a long time now.
Oh, is that HH Acadian Perique? Never tried that...
I keep telling myself that the cavendish would probably ruin it for me. :LOL:

Has anyone gotten stuck with too many blends you dislike? I’ve got about 15 tins of Bengal Slices that I will never smoke.

I'm sure I have, but haven't found out yet as I'm still exploring new to me blends I've already acquired.
But I don't see too much problem with trading or selling those dislikes off to others.
OTOH, with a large cellar, one may cycle through "disliked" blends as the palate seems to rotate over the years / decades. I'm thinking that may be my experience as I've got variety over depth in my stash, and my palate seems to prefer that. Even if I find a fantastic tin I know I want more of, it's generally intended for sometime in the future. I almost never wish to have another one "now".

I started buying 5-6 tins of each blend I thought I would like and ended up in the same boat. I’ve given away more tins with a couple bowls out of them than I can recall at this point.

Naturally, the ones I find that I seem to enjoy are discontinued or difficult to source. 🙄

Same thing for me. Love my cluster-mess of a cellar. Possibly 100 blends. Or more. I don’t know. I’ve only gone kinda deep on a few. Have yet to come across a blend that I didn’t like at least a little, and I have yet to smoke a second tin of any one blend yet.

Seems strange to me to horde so much leaf that you cant possibly smoke it in a lifetime. I'm personally in the camp of buying what I need, then maybe dive in on the small batch or cottage blender pool. SO my cellar will reflect that. I will be going deep on several blends in each genre and calling it a day. I see no reason to pokemon tobacco.

It’s the free shipping threshold theory. You buy what you want, then other things to get the free shipping threshold, because I will be damned if I am paying 8$ for shipping. It all adds up quickly.

totally makes sense. But being that I get screwed via taxes shipping seems of little consequence at that point. I end up not saving that much money .
