How Many Tobaccos Do You Have Open and Smoking at Once?

[fitzy]

Uhhh I've got maybe 70+ jars with stuff in them that I pick and choose from. I'm hoping to work my way through those and get them down to 20 before I open my cellared tins.
Heck I've got a box sitting next to me with over 20 unopened tins of new to me blends that I'd like to get around to trying. Most of those tins in this box are 2 to 3 years old and I haven't opened them yet as I'm trying to work down those open jars.

I try to keep it simple. About 17 blends

Any tins I open, the contents go straight into a 250ml mason jar.

I just checked and I have exactly thirty different blends on rotation with some seeing considerably more action than others.

I’m such a tobacco slut, it’s pathetic. Anytime I travel I try to go to the local B&M to purchase something. Preferably a blend they make in house. The consequence is I’ve amassed well over 100 in jars that I don’t necessarily consider my cellar. I have a bookcase that has a favorites shelf, an occasional shelf and a rare occasion shelf that I pull from. Then I have a collection of tobacco that I swore was going to be delicious but alas, I was wrong, again. Those I trade or give away to family and friends when we smoke together.

I have well over 400lbs at my disposal, however I hate to have too many open at one time. I learn more about a tobacco by delving into it exploring every nuance that I can of it.
I always have one aromatic open,

and one Virginia open.

In Summer I have a VaPer or VaBur open,

and in Winter I have a Latakia, Balkan, or Oriental open.

And, one strong blend or twist
And, if one doesn't fit a category, I'll not hesitate to open it. But, overall, I keep a pipe burning all of my waking hours, and I can sometimes burn through a tin in a couple of days. So, I never get bored having so few open.

I have no idea anymore what it all weighs, but it's less than my Capt. Duane has. He's such a hoarder. :mrgreen:

We prefer the term "collector". :rofl:

At most I open two tin at a time, but they must be very different mixtures (for example, virginia base and hard latakia). The type of mixture that I decide to open change often because I have a lot of tobaccos and a lot to try for the first time.

Currently I have about 65 mason jars that I pull from. Anything I get in bulk goes into a jar, and anytime I open a tin it goes in a jar. As I like a bit of variety I tend to have a bunch of stuff available on a regular basis.

Holy Smokes.....I only have about 6 jars and about 10 unopened tins on hand.I better get a move on..I'm way behind !!

Does that include tobacco under cultivation??
I can't imagine storing or stowing away that much!

I just started seed for this year’s crop. This will be the largest to date, so I can continue exploring curing a good red. But, no, I don’t count my own home grown twists. And, the App that I was keeping my inventory on froze up on an OS upgrade. I will probably have to add it to that webbased inventory this Spring when I have time. Pisses me off. But, I know that my recent 5100 hoard throws me over the 400# mark by a good arm’s length.
But, if I had as many blends open as some of you guys, it’d take me forever to decide what to pack, and I’d forget what I was smoking after the char.

 

[ukbob]

Usually between 3-4 open at any one time.

 

[raevans]

Only one tin at a time, (same for any tobacco that I have in jars). Usually when it gets to less than a bowl left in the tin, it gets thrown into a tub with the left overs from previous tins.

 

[alan73]

347 opened and jarred... probably only smoke 100 with regularity

Atta boy Alan, way to be! :clap:

 

[woodsroad]

OMFG! That's beautiful, Alan.

 

[cigrmaster]

Alan, that is impressive. I should hire you to organize my cellar.

We calls that ballast!

Thanks guys. It was really fun organizing it. I had an unfinished wall in the basement (man cave area), with the 2x4 studs exposed , a drunken moment of brilliance realized how easy it would be to make shelves . Separated by style Virginia’s and burleys , English and orientals, and aeromatics . Then alphabetically .
