    HTTPS error

    How Do You Organize Your Tobacco Cellar?

    Organization…interesting concept, one that I have never subscribed to. Takes all the fun out of rummaging through everything (I thought I lost those years ago…but i digress). Nothing like finding a surprise and enjoying it. I have a stack of tins - no particular order, just a stack. Grab one or...

    My problem is that I read this whole thread and I still don’t know what my problem really is. (Too redundant?)
