You're allowed to forget Buddy! We love ya anyways! Just don't forget it...
BTW all of you are my heroes. Been smoking cigars 4 years and pipes 3 years, and I'm still getting to know what I like and mixing up my own little custom blends with the blender tobacco's. I sure know how to smoke a pipe properly, but I definitely don't have anything cellared yet, unless you count a pound of all the P&C and C&D blending tobacco's. I have 3 tons Burley Flake #1, but that's the extent of my "cellar" LoL.
I can only aspire.
Guess I will have to aspire with the August 8th thing coming up here in the US

I don’t know.
Seriously, I have no fucking clue! I stopped counting years ago. I kind of like not knowing... it makes for great surprises down the road. Like for instances while I was digging out some more Condor Plug in my cellar I noticed I have a tin of Classic Samsun from 2014. I have no idear how it made it’s way into my cellar but I’m looking forward to trying it down the road. I cellar 10 or so blends DEEP and the rest of my cellar is WIDE.

That is the last one that I need to cellar deep. I’ve been smoking it over the years and I love it but for some reason I never cellared that one, I know I have at least 10 or 15 tins but that’s not nearly enough. I could just kick myself in the arse for it, as I remember it being $6.99 a tin... it’s still not expensive but I could have saved some dough, that’s fo sho.
That’s when I went nuts and bought a bunch. It looked ridiculous because my cellar was a sea of red.
Given that Dan Tobacco doesn’t use any gum Arabic or other adhesives on flakes, you probably should subtract them from your list and move them to ready rubbed after a couple of years. Or send them to me.
One flake that I had meant to cellar a few years back was Astley's 109 Medium Flake.
Does anyone know whether the new stuff offered is the same recipe as the stuff offered 10 years back? I noticed a newly designed tin label recently and think I recall hearing the blend changed some, but might be getting mixed up.

I bought most of that from TP about 3 years ago. They had it for $3 something a tin. I couldn't believe it.
I have 2 pounds of Burley flake and one pound of old dark fired in flakes. But they are in jars.
I admit I used your list as a guide when I first got going. It was a lot of help and I'm grateful you did it. For a new guy, lists are awesome.
As far as looking up what I have cellared and count tins, I'm going to puss out, just because I'm lazy. I'm content with it but it's modest in comparison to lots of you guys'.
I have no idea if the recipe's are the same. I also noticed the writing on the new stamps saying it had this or that. I think we need to sick Jiminks on them. Make them give him a new one and an old one for comparison.
