Yes, I've also been meaning to do an inventory. I have all intentions of getting it done this winter. I was going to get around to it last winter but my guitars kept getting in my way ???
Finally Took Inventory

Which tin should I open next? Any thoughts?
Which tin should I open next? Any thoughts?
Of course you noticed my observance of chronic slack, or not maybe. But you have noted my Popeness correct?"Just because some jackass is an atheist doesn't mean that his prophets and gods are any less false." - J.R. "Bob" Dobbs
Tickled pink that someone on here gets the reference. Praise Bob indeed!
the seven seas and then leave them out for two to three weeks not opened but cracked. The moisture should be where you can dry it for a few hours and get a surprisingly good smoke. Those are great but need a massive amount of drying time before getting another dose of more intense drying time. Then crack the Black Ambrosia and smoke it after normal for you drying times when it's done the seven seas will be ready. Never tried it but it's got a great name and that's got to count for something.
Yeah, that's what I intuitively thought, that those will need a much more liberal amount of dry time than most others. I learned my way-the-hell-too-hot-bowl lesson two years ago with none other than MacBaren Vanilla Cream. I think I'll give the Black blend a go over the weekend, since I've had it cellared for some time. Thanks for confirming that for me. May the Slack be with you! ?
always is except when it's on vacation.
Alright, here it is, my cellar in its (nearly) completed glory. I always enjoy looking at the stacks and stacks of tins in other peoples' cellars, so I figured I'd do a little video on my own, just in case anyone else shares in the same enjoyment. I feel like, at my speed, this will be enough to last me the rest of my life. Between the jarred blends and the plethora of samples, I'm still overwhelmed by the choices I have, so I will be letting most of these tins age indefinitely. Thanks to the whole forum for inspiring me to build a cellar, and for guiding me on my pipe smoking journey! Happy Holidays and a healthy new year to you all.
And above all: THANK YOU to the mods/admins for maintaining such a great resource, and for keeping it running so smoothly! You guys don't get nearly the credit you deserve, and when it comes time for the dirty work (like that awful shattered jar incident of last week), you step up to the plate and perform admirably. No sycophancy here, just plain old gratitude from an appreciative forum member. Thank you all very much! I couldn't have satiated my Drew Estate obsession without you.
Okay, I'll shut up now. Enjoy my rambling.

I actually just did this last night! My nephew is getting into pipe smoking and asked to see my stash.
I bought my first tin in August, and, well, I can’t seem to stop. Most of the tins are two or three deep. Man, I hope my wife never opens that cabinet in the basement…

Scary is my wife seeing my cellar for the first time and saying "What's with all this tobacco?!?!?!" Even scarier is the look on her face after me miscalculating and responding with "I know, I know, I have to do better. I won't feel comfortable until we have 3 times this much!" She is sure pipe smoking will kill me.
It's funny because of the truth involved.
"Really, more pipe stuff?!?!" Well, yes.
I've cut back on cigarettes and have been using the cigarette budget to begin a cellar. The amount spent hasn't changed but the volume (and quality) of tobacco increased.
Sometimes, it feels like losing even when you win. Other times, you find victory even in a defeat.
Mine digs through my closet more often than I do to find something she wants to buy for her cellar.
Yeah, but you got the only one. When you retire to that great pipe smoking lounge in the sky, guys on here are gonna fighting over her.
Orley's wife smokes a pipe and there are a few others on other forums like that too. By then, the only place where you can smoke would be the other place anyway.
The folly of my youth was spent not looking for a pipe smoking wife. Life would have been easier.
Yeah, that's the kind of imagery I'm talkin' about! Love it. How is that Lane MV-1000, by the way?
Nice state of the cellar video and topic! Not got a lot to show, I tend to be kinda disciplined in my TAD by just buying deeper in what I like now. Just got 10 50g tins of MB Navy flake, I tend to smoke one in about 5 to 6 months, so the last few tins should have a little age on them. Having so much opened would drive me crazy.
Thanks! Actually haven’t tried it yet. I try to keep my active rotation to about six blends or so. Key word is “try”!
Shhh! You are letting the Ashton Goldrush secret out. I think it is one of the great spring and summer blends.
