Cellaring...How Much Should a Person Cellar?

"How many wives do you need?"

Happypiper, I respectfully disagree. I have a cellar and it has already kept me from buying more at inflated prices. We all do what we do.

I'm not sure why it is depressing... I am inspired by folks like Peck who have such a beautiful cellar. I am proud for him. It makes me happy. Then Banjo and his beautiful collection of pipes. It's great!! I am not sure where the depression would come from. If people enjoying and celebrating the fortune of others doesn't make you happy and inspire you, then I would have to wonder why you're here. I'm sorry that people enjoying the rewards of their choices in life makes you upset. Hopefully something here will make you happy. :: Happy smokes!!!

Oh, so well said.

What the thread lacks, IMNHO, N=not, is the effect of aging. A cellar based on current use into eternity does not plan for gradual, or sudden, loss of health and the body's developing intolerance for smoking. That's what happened to me. If I had paid attention 10 years ago to my symptoms I might have been able to cut back then such that I could be smoking now. But I denied them and smoked through them. Thus my cellar was way too big all along and is being sold now.

Why am I here?

Is this www.buyingasmuchtobaccoasyoumightpossiblyeverneedtolastyoutillyourdotage.com?

Didn't you just post a profanity-laden invective against those who carefully smoke..or make tea?

I am here for my own reasons. You are here for yours.

If you can't understand that, I feel sorry for you.

I cellar lightly
Not sure I will ever get thru even a dozen tins , but that’s not really the point .

 

[peckinpahhombre]

I am with the happypiper on this. You guys are all a bunch of disgraceful hoarders. Shame.

 

[thehappypiper]

I can understand the desire to have "enough not to run out" and maybe buying 10 tins of an excellent limited edition while still available, but this Pride of Excess is a speciality of hobby-specific fora. I remember reading one thread on a watch forum "The Ten Seiko Divers Every Watch Guy Must Own"

 

[bluto]

I hoard up most hoardables .
Hoarding is fun

Is this http://www.buyingasmuchtobaccoasyoumightpossiblyeverneedtolastyoutillyourdotage.com?

By the way, I was dissapointed that this link isn't active. Will that forum be back up soon?

 

[thehappypiper]

Ha!

:D

Happy, why do you care how many watches someone has? I work my ass off for my money, therefore, I can spend it how I will. If I want 15 kilotons of rotted shrimp (Penzance) I can eventually reach that goal.
These kind of conversations always confuse me.
Am I going to be told I have "too many" pipes next?
The slippery slope is greased by judgement and "too many".

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Uhhhh... jealousy. That's what it's called.

Didn't you just post a profanity-laden invective against those who carefully smoke..or make tea?

That's me. What of it? But, I would beg to differ on the definition of "profanity laden." I could turn it up a few notches if you like. But, it would just be overkill, IMO.

Of all of my posts, you remembered that one? ::

 

[woodsroad]

Tim, maybe you have too much money. Maybe that’s the problem.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

But if Tim didn't spend gobs of money on pipes and tobacco, then he would be a money hoarder. He can't win.

 

[thehappypiper]

Cosmic, your post was a disgrace. It gave me the impression that you are an oik.

I did not comment on it because you are a different person than I.
A few days later I express an opinion an you question my membership.
Grow up.

"It's my money, I can do what I want with it" is a lame answer.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I think you chose a very ironic name to use on here, and you are making friends really fast. I'm impressed. ::

 

[thehappypiper]

You know sonny, I really don't give a damn what you think of me.

You keep off my posts and I'll keep off yours.
