20 Lbs, That's the Limit

[sablebrush52]

You can only cellar 20 lbs of tobacco, no more, no less. For some of us it's a "wow, that much??!!" amount and for others it's a "I can't possibly imagine that little" amount. 20 lbs is the total you can cellar. When your cellar dips below 20, you can restock once every 5 years. You're smoking from your cellar, no outside sales. No wiggle room. What are your picks? What would you favor?
McCranies - Red Ribbon - 2 lb

Motzek - Strang - 2 lb

HU - Makhuwa - 3 tins - 10.5oz

Gl Pease - Haddo's Delight - 2 lb

H&H - Chatham Manor - 2 tubs - 1 lb 12 oz

Esoterica - Dunbar - 2 lb

Esoterica - Dorchester - 2 lb

RO - Perique Series GP-11 - 12 tins - 1 lb 5oz

D&R - Acadian Bright - 2 tubs - 12oz

Mine's about an ounce under, I think. I was kind of rushing this because I have errands to run. But I'll make due.
If the math is more than you're willing to deal with, skip it. But the process is interesting in that it makes you evaluate your choices and what blends you really favor. For lovers of puzzles, you may find this interesting.

I'm still trying to figure out how I'll survive with ONLY 20 lbs.

 

[glassjapan]

I'm in scale back mode as far as blends go. I could get by with just these:
SG Full Virginia Flake - 5 lb

McC Yenice Agonya - 2 lb

McCranie’s Red Flake - 1 lb

Esoterica Stonehaven - 5 lb

GLP Cairo - 4 lb

GLP Temple Bar - 2 lb

Robert McConnell Scottish Flake - 1 lb

Major problem for me; 20 pounds means I can only smoke three and a half years. What do I smoke for the other year and a half while I wait for resupply? Are we allowed to grow our own? Will I be forced to do weird things in alleys to get black market aromatics? Will I be forced to smoke the tin of Royal Yacht I save to scare children with?

 

[prairiedruid]

2 pounds of each of the following:
PS Luxury Navy Flake

Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture

MM 965

John Cotton's Smyrna

Black Frigate

Motzek Strang

PS Proper English

McCrainie's Red Ribbon

Bengal Slices

PS Luxury Bullseye Flake

 

[woodsroad]

1. John Cotton's No. 1 3#

2. John Cotton's Smyrna 3#

3. Bengal Slices 2#

4. D&R Acadian Bright 3#

5. My Own Blend Livgarde 1#

6. An assortment of all of McClelland's flakes 5#

7. An assortment of GH/SG flakes 5#
That's 22#. Can't do it with 20.

For some reason, 20 pounds is somewhat unappetizing to me. I have enough 'baccy on hand for five years with no purchases or gifts, but the threat of running out, even in the future, provides a scarcity factor that makes it all seem more ... delicious.
