How Many Tins Of Flakes Do You Considered Cellared In Your Collection.

[cigrmaster]

Ok this one is fairly easy. Ten is the magic number. You need ten sealed tins of flake to consider it to be a cellared blend. Not 9.5, not 8.76. 10 is the number and anyone who cheats will be visited by the PM Police.

I will put my count up in a little after I get off my ,lazy ass. Pictures are not needed but if you want to post them you can. We are all gentlemen here and our word is as good as it gets


edit:. If you have boxes that haven't even been opened yet that hold 25-100 tins, just use your best guess as I am not opening boxes like that so I cannot expect you to do it as well.

I'm just a piker compared to you Harris, but I count 72 tins just between Christmas Cheer and 40th Anniversary. I'm hovering around 150 tins, which will last me for my lifetime since I also smoke plenty of English blends.

 

[beezer]

Okay, of the flakes that I have cellared in quantities of 10 tins or more here is what I have on-hand:

Qty Brand Blend Name
19 McClelland 40th Anniversary
11 Solani 656 - Aged Burley Flake
18 Solani Blend 633 - Virginia Flake
19 Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake
10 C&D Carolina Red Flake (Small Batch)
20 Dunhill Flake (new label)
19 SG Full Virginia Flake
16 Orlik Golden Sliced (red)
13 MacBaren HH Latakia Flake
10 Reiner Long Golden Flake
25 J. Aylesbury Luxury Flake
13 MacBaren Navy Flake
14 Astleys No.44
10 McCranies Red Ribbon
23 J. Aylesbury Sir Johns Flake Virginia

I have the bulk equivalent of 10 tins or more of numerous other flakes, but will need to take inventory and post later.

Since this thread is dying I will put up my number. I have 41 different flakes, plugs and a rope. The single rope is Heinrichs Curly Block. I haven't smoked it in a while, probably more than a year. I am spoiled about smoking aged tobacco, I see no reason to smoke anything fresh. When it hits 3 years old then I will try it. I am doin the same thing with Salty Dogs, Savinellii Doblone d'Oro and a couple of others but I cannot remember their names right now. ''I can fucking remember what I paid for a box of Trinidads in 1999, but I get no memory for something so recent, this Dementia really blows

 

[cigrmaster]

I forgot I was supposed to name the 41 blends I do have. Thankfully I have it in a word document.

Technically I do have 43 as I do have 2 aromatics and both are over the 20 tin mark.
THey are Cult Blood Red Moon and Sutliff Molto Dolce. I smoke them when my mom comes over. I also took a flyer on them as I believe when the deeming laws go into effect, my Blood Red Moon and Molto will both be worth over a c-note a tin,. Go ahead, lu=augh it up now but just you watch, I will become rich beyond my wildest dreams when Blood Red sells for 10 grand a tin.

[cigrmaster]

Mark, that is one hell of a list considering when you started. Yes I know you consider all the winners came from the list I gave you. More than happy to help.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Mark, that is one hell of a list considering when you started. Yes I know you consider all the winners came from the list I gave you. More than happy to help.

Harris,I definitely used your list as a guideline for blends to try.

 

[cigrmaster]

I know you used my list a s guide but did you ever think every winner you have is from that list? I know my omnipotent knowledge of all things pipes is impressive, hell I even scare myself with such knowledge.

 

[ashdigger]

I remember years ago when you put up your Va and VaPer list. I purchased one or two of EVERYTHING on the list. The above (mine) are the deep cellared survivors.

You list saved me money and cost me money. So there’s that.

 

[cigrmaster]

ash, look at it this way. You never ran into a loser and every blend I listed was a winner. Wat more could you ask. I have no schooling in tobacco, just good taste, that should be good enough for you and if it isn't then to damn bad. Consider your self blessed you even got to read my list. You may kiss my ring when the mood strikes.

 

[Jwebb90]

How do I get worked into y’all’s will?

 

[dcon]

Part of mine is bulk poundage rather than tins. I would be 10+ on:
MB HH Pure VA
Sutliff VA Slices
Rattray’s Marlin Flake
SG BBF
SG FVF
SG St. James Flake
SG GG (broken flake)
Capstan Gold RR/Flake
GH Ennerdale Flake
Castello Fiammata
Chacom #4
C&D Bayou Morning Flake
C&D CRF (various years)
Dobie’s Four Square Cut Plug
Esoterica Peacehaven
Esoterica Stonehaven
Esoterica Penzance
GLP Chelsea Morning (broken flake)
GLP Fillmore (broken flake)
GLP Quiet Nights
GLP Union Square
MB VA #1 (broken flake)

This is what I recall, right off. I would not necessarily classify all, of these as “flakes” but, I,went by SP website descriptions. I did not include, plugs or cakes. I am darn near 10 on probably a dozen more.

 

[strave19]

I guess I don’t qualify as having anything, “cellared”. I’m okay with that.

 

[Perique]

For flakes I have one of those pound boxes of LNF, sealed, sitting and thinking about itself since 2015, several mason jars of LNF and LBF from 2013-2015 and the following tins:

Solani 633 x3
Escudo x8
Fillmore x4
And a few MacBaren various Virginia flakes kicking around.

Damn, I don’t have many flakes cellared.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I know you used my list a s guide but did you ever think every winner you have is from that list? I know my omnipotent knowledge of all things pipes is impressive, hell I even scare myself with such knowledge.

No. You'll notice several exceptions. Sorry.

 

[Perique]

This thread caused me to order more tins. TAD. Or OP is a vendor agent

 

[anotherbob]

I'am going use Davidoff rules and include coins. Disregard if you want to.
1Bold Kentucky, #2Escudo,#3Erinmore flake,#4 Dark Twist, #5 Key Largo, #6Jupiter, #7 Doblone D' Oro (best and worst of the lot, seriously have the best and worst smokes with this one). So that's about half my stash (cellar seems like an exaggeration.). Also clearly I like dark tobaccos especially dark fired. I need to get some more Tuskegee Airmen that stuff is golden.

 

[3rdguy]

My largest would be OGS, 89 tins.
