Minimal Happiness Requirements?

[DesertDan]

If I were boarding a lifeboat and could literally grab only one tin of tobacco it would be Capstan Blue.
However, I do not venture onto waters upon which lifeboats are required equipment, and I am most assuredly NOT a minimalist. But in the spirit of the thread, in addition of the afore mentioned Capstan Blue I will list the following:

Northwoods
Bob's Chocolate Flake
Blood Red Moon
Luxury Bullseye Flake
HH Latakia Flake
McConnell's Scottish Blend
Silem's Black
Tashkent
Maltese Falcon
Swiftcurrent Lake

There are so many more I would be very sad to not have in my cellar. Thank God that I am privileged to not have to limit myself to this list.

Aromatic no 1
Aromatic no 2
Latakia or cigar blend
all good...

 

[JOHN72]

C&D Yorktown, MB HH Pure Virginia, and Capstan Gold.

I would say:
Three Friars, Exclusive: Draquer & Sons Merry Monk, a navy blend (I like several so can't ID a specific blend, and a good late night contemplation blend like Comfort or Kajun Kake.

C&D Yorktown, MB HH Pure Virginia, and Capstan Gold.

Always so happy to see how Yorktown seems to be the real marker of good taste. It's one of my all time favorites.

Great question! I'm interpreting this as if my whole cellar was gone and not replaceable, at what point would I give up pipe smoking rather than smoke a very limited bandwidth? In such a horrible post-apocalyptic world, if I could have access to just L.J. Peretti's Smith's Own, I would continue to smoke my pipes with joy. I would lament the loss bitterly, though.

Great answer too. I just really enjoy digging into these little thoughts about the minutia of pipe smoking. And going a little deeper then how big is your cellar and what's your go to single blend.
Thanks everyone who answered so far. I've found ever answer so far interesting and awesome that I can have access to these many opinions from such a distance.

Probs even money these days, though I have mounjaro to thank for the slimming down of my body while my cellar has fattened!

 

[mingc]

Oooooooh !
You minimalist, you

Or, I might be maximally fat!

This is something I've been trying to figure out lately. It's great to have a large variety of tobaccos in the cellar but I would like to have an abundance of a few certain blends that I really enjoy to reduce the amount of half pint mason jars I've got stacked up. Most of our grandfathers smoked nothing but SWR all the time and were plenty happy, too many choices these days I guess lol Though that's not necessarily a bad thing. A list I've come up with is:

• G.L Pease Maltese Falcon
• G.L Pease Quiet Nights
• Peterson Elizabethan Mixture
• G.L Pease Six Pence
• Per Jensen Brothers in Arms
• C&D Mississippi Mud

Is it weird that it bothers me I couldn't squeak SPC Plum Pudding on my list? Honestly I love that stuff.
