Do You Cellar "Wide", "Deep" or Both?

[Saintwilliam]

wide I would say, with a couple of small pockets. I try to get tins of things that are in my wheelhouse but new to me. Deep for me is about a pound. As a one 3-4 per week smoker that will last a long time. There are a few more pockets I’d like to develop but those will take some time now as I’m pretty sure there will be much less getting stuff small amounts passed customs with the plunge in tax revenues... got hit $50 for two tins last week.

Im running low on GH Dark Flake Unscented and Comoy’s Cask 7... oh me of my. What will I do? Lol

Wide. I more than one jar or tin of three blends at the moment.

 

[kschatey]

I recently counted and my tobacco cellar contains nearly 50 different blends. Variety is the spice of life!

 

[cigrmaster]

I have 43 blends in my cellar and have a couple of hundred pounds plus. I would consider my cellar deep. I tried many blends that just didn't make the cut.

Apparently I have fairly straightforward tastes. I have settled on just a handful and am buying them to stock.

Used to be wide as I was searching. Have a ton of tins I'll never smoke. Now, I focus on a handful of blends. Half of my favorites are discontinued. So I trade for them. A few are still available so I buy from time to time. I rarely try new blends anymore. Deep for me is a dozen or more tins of a given blend.

I lean a bit more towards wide vice deep. So...weep?

I've kind of gotten to the age where I only cellar three blends. Before that I used to keep many blends on hand.

Out of interest, what are they?

Three VaPers: Six Pence, Stonehenge, and Mad Fiddler.

 

[Guppy]

A little of both. I keep around 30 blends jarred up and a few pounds of 10 or so blends in mylar.

I have 206 different blends and a total weight around 90 pounds so I answered "wide". But I guess I'm deep on some blends that I think will age well and that I know I like such as Full Virginia Flake, Sixpence, and McClelland's 40th anniversary.

I’m about to start down that road a little at a time being a newbie and all. I have decided though that it is for me (pipe smoking). I’ve really enjoyed pipe smoking, more so than cigars as of late.

I picked up a few tins of different tobaccos that I have not opened. One is a Dunhill theee years aged Virginia and a tin each of Escudo Navy Flake and Capstan Blue Ready rubbed which is from 2018.

Realizing I really enjoy the English blends today I bought a pound each of PS Proper English, Sutliff Match 20, and C&D Engine #99. I also purchased a few dozen 8oz mason jars and one dozen 4oz mason jars. At the amounts I smoke that should last me a long, long while. I’ll continue to add more over time and more blends but figured that was a good start.

I bought one other tin but I opened that one. Sutliff Crumble Cake Vaper. And that is some tasty stuff for a change of pace. So I’ll get more of that. Any bulk vapers that are comparable?

150 ish blends. 150 pounds.

 

[Dandy Pipesmoker]

Tobaccocellar.com says "183 cellared containers" so I'd say wide.
Who am I to contradict.

 

[stevecourtright]

Personally, more like "shooting arrows in the dark." I continue to experiment (even after some 40 years of on-and-off piping) while keeping more than a few of my several favorites.

 

[cigrmaster]

I have over 200 pounds on just 43 blends. I did my homework and did not add a blend to the cellar unless I really liked it If I was on the fence on a blend I passed.
