Cellar Audit

[mordy18]

My "cellar", which I had considered modest, had gotten to the point where I couldn't remember what I had in there. So I spent a few hours to organize and log in Excel (I haven't been able to use the online tool). To my mild horror I discovered I have 69 opened tins, comprised of 54 different blends from 22 different brands, total of 7.75 pounds of tobacco, all in addition to the 30 or so jars have opened (probably another 5 pounds). I know to many of you this is a pittance, but the accumulation of this much tobacco in 2 years is disturbing to me given my smoking rate. Interesting to see the breakdown of blend types -- 40% English/Balkan with one tin of "Scottish", 30% different types of VA blends (with VaPers accounting for 1/2 of that), about 15% aro, and the rest being cigar, straight burley (only 3 tins - need to fix!) and oriental.

I guess I am a cellar wide rather than deep guy. Are others anal retentive enough to catalog their cellars.

Yes, wide but not deep. I have enough raw poundage to last decades, but I sometimes think about what would happen if, for example, I became an exclusive Virginia flake man. And then I order some more.

I did this after seeing @tschiraldi organize his. I’m glad I did. Mine is purely analog (paper and pen) but I have a much better grasp on my cellar now. Turns out my mental “sticky note” wasn’t too far off.

I applaud excel users. It’s Mumbo Jumbo to me.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I've never even owned a computer, so no cataloging here. I know how many pounds I've got by jar and tin count though.?

 

[krizzose]

I've got a pretty good spreadsheet set up for what I have in sealed tins and "to age" jars. I even put in a few formulas so I know the total weight, and how many years it will last at different smoking rates. It's kinda cool to be able to sort the list by different variables, like oldest to newest, brand, blend, etc.

As for my open jarred-up tins (at least 50) and bulk blending tobacco, I don't have a clue - only my memory and the odd guess.

I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 factory sealed packages. Mostly tins and not including anything I have jarred.

An honest count has been on my to-do list for a while but I have yet to get it accomplished.
Most of my cellared tobacco is in one central area, but it is in no way organized. Maybe some day I’ll get it done. Maybe.

 

[logs]

I use Tobacco Cellar to keep track. I'm deep on a few things but mostly very very wide. It's a commitment problem. The way to ensure I'll get bored of any blend is to buy 20 tins of it. For me it's more fun to try something different than to pull out a tin of the same blend I've had a million times before. Sure, there's a risk to going wide but I can live with the idea that I might run out of something in the future.

Dear god ... This is where I'm headed. My wife got a glimpse at my cellar recently and it left her speechless. I think she's planning an intervention.

 

[cshubhra]

Yes. I maintain an excel. I remember most of though at a high level, what I have so that excel is to confirm what I know.

I have also been smoking for about 2 years, though I started in 2017. I have around 45 lbs is sealed tins and jars, and another 3 pounds in open tins / jars.

Also a cellar wide type of a person. Last time I checked I had 132 unique blends, which I estimate to have grown to 170 blends by now. I have mostly stopped going wide, and in the future will mostly go deep.

Same here. Years ago when my last compuer crapped out, I didn't replace it. Best decision I made. Keeping my life as analog as possible.

That sounds like my wife, and I only have about 2 1/2 lbs so far (mainly SPC and H&H blends).Yes it's pathetic I know, but boy is she in for a surprise in about 1 year from now.

 

[jei64822]

Sounds like a lot of us will kick it with tons of tobacco in the cellar lol.

 

[JOHN72]

I think I have about tins and glass jars 200............60%English mixture -40% Virginias...............I'm going like the ants,but happy....I envy your gigantic cellars..............?

 

[Grangerous]

All this wide and deep talk is exciting. What forum is this?

Well, I’m at 14.5 cans of Granger... with more to come.

12 Mason Jars of many no longer in production blends.

31samples, of one ounce or less, of various oddities. Thanks, Jim!

That was both easier and harder than I thought. ?

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

I use tobacco cellar and pen & paper to keep track.
My cellar is wide but not that deep apart from a few blends like Warrior and PPP.

At the moment I have 153 unique blends which are 80% from the US and Germany. I'm pretty much done with ordering there now and I'm gonna concentrate on building up the Gawith and Germain's blends which I don't have nearly enough of and are readily available over here.

I always thought the Gawith tobaccos would be easy to get but with flavour bans a possibility in the future I'm gonna start stocking up.

 

[tschiraldi]

I have used the Pipe Tool app, but got lazy with it. It's not even close now. I may try it again, now that I'm only buying 4 to 5 blends. I'd have to wipe it clean and start from scratch, so we'll see.

 

[3rdguy]

I am wide and deep. I like too many tobaccos.

 

[kcghost]

I don't keep a computer inventory cella because I only keep three brands in there and only open three tins at a time. But if I had a "wide" cellar you can wager I would have it in Excel and keep it inventoried.

 

[Worknman]

Don't feel bad I more than doubled your collection in half the time. But Im good to go for the next 20 years ?
