How Many Blends Do You Have Stored?

[alexnc]

106 - can you believe it? I have at least 106 blends jarred. That's not counting a couple of big jars holding multiple ziplocks of stuff I didn't value very much. That would easily number it over 120.

How many in your cellar are regular smokes? Maybe 12 for me.

Most of my stash is still in tins. I only keep six or so blends I currently smoke in the jars. I'm still sampling the blends. So many blends, so little time.

106 is bar far more than any tobacconist shop I've been in recently.

I keep things a little more focused. Maybe a dozen or so blends in various quantities. Sort of like your small mom and pop tobacconist that doesn't exist anymore.

But I sure have tried a lot of blends to get to know what I like the most. I just never "stocked up" on them all to figure that out.

You'll be well entertained for the years to come!

I'm still in the sampling mode. I have many blends (25 - 30) but only in a few ounces each (except for Bayou Morning and 515 rc-1, which I only have 8 ounces of each).

I wish you hadn't asked. Just sitting here, in view, I can count 64, and there are another ten in a pipe rack/cabinet out of sight, so maybe a total of about 74. Some of these are partial small jars and half empty pouches, but they are all there, and likely a few others stashed away. I had no idea. I recently got up my nerve to count pipes, because I was trading a few toward one other, and there were more than ninety. Yolks. This might help stifle my next attack of TAD. Or PAD. I would have guessed forty or fifty blends. Huh!

111 I show but I know I have a few more than that down there.

 

[workman]

Around 30. 10-12 are blends I want to stock up on and always have available.

 

[kcghost]

I had Steve Fallon sell a bunch of my blends so I am down to a few. Maybe 10 blends left.

I was thinking about this the other day, because I need to organize my jars. I’ll have to check when I get home.

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

I'm happy man if I have some 5 to 10 different time tested basic ,mostly European and English made blends in my modest cellar'

 

[mso489]

It really sneaks up on me. I'm one of these guys who rarely buys more than a few ounces of a few blends. Once or twice a year I might live large with a pound bag. I smoke gradually, one might say glacially, so i end up buying considerably more than I use up. A total ban would leave me with years of blends. A five pound purchase is beyond my comprehension, both in quantity, and because variety is a big deal for me.

 

[verporchting]

God only knows. I don’t let my rational mind go there. I prefer it to remain a mystery.

 

[HitchensDog]

I have 20 mason jars for the things I'm smoking now. I only smoke 1 bowl a day usually (with my morning coffee), so I realize that's probably ridiculous, but I like the variety. I'm currently trying to stock up on my "cellar" as I plan on retiring in 4 or 5 years.

 

[Tommy Boy]

I probably have 65-70 different blends in jars and a few tins. I have started stocking up on 5 blends that are now my go to favorites out of all my sampling so far.

 

[krizzose]

Oh man, I don't think I want to know. What I think of as my "cellar" are sealed tins and jars of bulk that I'm storing/aging. I keep a very careful record of what's in there on a spreadsheet with tin/jarring date, amount, etc. I have about 60 different blends, with 20 or so being just one tin.

My collection of open tins (all in jars) is another thing altogether. I don't keep track of it, and there are at least as blends as are in my cellar (obviously, many or most are the same blends as in my "cellar"). I don't really know exactly what's there, but I'd guess at least 70 different blends. The "open" jars are just dumped haphazardly in a couple of boxes, and sometimes it's fun to go digging in there for something I forgot about.

 

[prndl]

Probably less than half a dozen.

Anymore, I like to keep things simple.

 

[dcon]

I kind of hate these “mine is bigger” threads. But, since you asked...I don’t know. It was over 400 a few months ago and I keep on buying new while, I still try to get deeper.

 

[alexnc]

So I'm not the only one, whew! Most of them are blends that I tried and did not stock up on but rather passed by and didn't want to toss - just things I tried. I've stocked up on 25 or 26, which to me means 4 or 5 tins - or one 8oz tin - in one case a pound - depending on how it's sold.

 

[cigrmaster]

I have approximately 44 different blends with all but two being a flake, plug or rope.

 

[Sonorisis]

More than I could ever justify having if I had to explain it to a rational person. Heck, even people who are irrational about tobacco acquisition wouldn't understand. I don't really know how I got here myself.

In the best of times, I tell myself this is a 'hobby.' When times are tough, I think about therapy.
