How Much Is In Your Cellar ?

[BarrelProof]

At my current smoke rate of 1.25lbs a year my current stash will last 37.6 years. I do expect my consumption rate to increase considerably when I retire In 14 years. I also expect prices to go up and want to be in a position where I will not have to buy any after I retire. Although I am sure I will just have to try the latest small batch releases from time to time

I was also amazed at how much prices went up on some blends in the last 4 years. Not to mention the Michigan 30% excise tax that went into effect .

I wish I had my life that in order.

Not enough.

I spent '22 filling mine up. Now I only buy deals, or hard to get stuff or old tins I find in travels... or an emotional purchase when i walk into the local B&M... or take advantage of deals online..
I have I guess 100 tins and 10 pint jars full of bulk.

103 tins and roughly 11 pounds of bulk. My oldest tin is C&D Rajah's Court from 2000. My oldest bulk is Chief Catoonah's BBB from 1999. A profligate amount for my smoking pace.

? One spawns the other.

I've concluded that tobacco is self propagating.

With my wife out of town I had the opportunity to do a good inventory today. I'm sitting around 40 pounds.

Somehow my cellar has grown since coming back here to sell my stuff. Wtf?

 

[Sobrbiker]

20 8oz jars, about 10 tins, a couple 16oz, and a couple quart jars.

Trying to find what I like, I just started in December ‘22

Just happened to be going through my cellar today, so as of today I have:

53 mason jars that I smoke from. These have anywhere from 1oz to 4 oz.
9 mason jars that are for long term cellaring. Each has 4 oz +.
70 - 50g tins
12 - 100g tins
3 - 8oz tins/bags

I haven't bought any pipe tobacco in 3 years, and I figure I still have enough to last me more than 10 years.

 

[alaskanpiper]

Too much. Just like everybody else.

 

[Beowoulf]

somewhere around 250 pounds.

250 pounds?? I am a psych nurse by trade. Perhaps we should talk...

 

[Andre_T]

Too much and yet not enough. 620 plus unopened tins. I don't track bulk, opened tins nor jarred that I have. It is on a Google Doc Spreadsheet detailing brand, blend, date made (if I can read the code or at least date purchased) tin size and where it is stored.

 

[Beowoulf]

My The Pipe Tool app tells me I have :

Total Open Tobacco: 8.2 lbs | Total Cost: $367.26 and
Total Cellared Tobacco: 4.63 lbs | Total Cost: $316.4

I'm a moderate smoker and a moderate tobacco purchaser. I'll buy a few tins or baggies of bulk at a time, and the occasional large tin or tub or even a bag, but just a few times a year. Nonetheless, I buy more than I smoke, so it accumulates. I can smoke for years on what I have in-house.

 

[briarbuck]

A lot. Like, a lot.

If my smoking rate doesn’t change much, I have a lifetime supply plus a bit. I still buy some to get deeper on certain blends or try a tin or three of something new. I have a kept a detailed and updated record of everything I have in storage. I also have about 75 “open” blends in jars that I don’t have catalogued,

 

[cwpiperman]

Easily a lifetime supply given my smoking rate, but I'm still buying the "one-offs", "small-batches", seasonal tobacco (like SunBear), and specials. I'd say about 15 pounds.

 

[biodarwin]

I am moderately degenerate, so I am sitting at around 75 lbs.

A s@%tload...

A s@%tload...

This is always the right answer. And if it’s only a standard shitload, keep working slowly towards a metric shitload. Once you’re there, you’ve got all of your bases covered. If it’s already a metric shitload, well done.

my advice if you plan on starting a cellar, document it from day 1 this was a pain.

It’s a big pain either way, I think most people give up and just start estimating. I wanted to have fun, keeping track of what I have, what I opened and what I finished turned out to not be so much fun, so I gave that up years ago. My measurements are now, enough? Not enough?
