How Much of Your Favorite Blend is Cellared?

[Stah]

'Always need another pound',
My current Top 10 is about 40% of my 110+ lbs stash. But most of these blends are still in production, so I raise the counts, indeed.

At this point, about an ounce and a half. I've only been smoking pipes for a few years though so right now I don't feel confident enough that my taste in blends won't continue to evolve and change over time to cellar significant quantities of anything. I started off smoking aromatics, then was really into Burleys for awhile, dabbled in English blends, circled back to aromatics, and now I mostly smoke straight Virginias and dark-fired British death rattle flakes (1792, Dark Flake, etc).

As much as I'm enjoying my current favorite blends though, I feel like I should give it another year or two just to make sure my tastes don't change again before I start cellaring away pounds of anything.

Because:

A: tobaccocellar.com is an asshole and won't let me in because it perpetually thinks I am using a malicious IP; and

B: I never copied or wrote down those totals; and

C; I moved to TN and all my tobacco is theoretically here, but it is still all cased up, boxed up, jarred up, and all over the upstairs attic I converted into a bonus room;

C: I have no idea how much MacBaren Navy flake I have, but it is around 5 pounds I think.

I commend your resistance to TAD and ignoring all the ON SALE ads that are thrusted upon us on every major holidays.

Enough that I won't finish by the time I kick the bucket. Or when they prey that last pipe from my cold, dead, arthritis and diabetes neuropathy hand.

I think you misunderstood. I only have an ounce and a half of my favorite blend, but the jar containing that blend is only one of 90 or so in my cellar. I'm as weak as any other TAD sufferer when a sale comes around!

You should've seen the sales around 10 years ago. $10/100g tins and $6/50g tins. I really loaded up during the IPSD sales.

I meant to post a jocular reply to this thread before my semi-serious one.

"Not enough."

 

[Hutch Piper]

I have enough. But I’m going to keep at it for another year or so just to be safe (and I’m still working). My cellar is much wider than it is deep. Working on the depth for a few blends now. For the blends that I really enjoy, I’m at about 2 lbs stocked away. I only smoke 1-2 times per day. And if it is raining or super hot or cold, no bowls on those days.

 

[daveinlax]

Help me understand this. You compress a pound of tobacco into a pint jar.

LoL! I would enjoy seeing a short video or pictures of the process getting a pound of tobacco in a pint jar!

 

[ThomasS]

When my latest SP order gets here, I’ll have 6 lbs of Briar Fox.
Next down is PS400 and HH ODF at 2 lbs each.
Everything else combined is probably another 5 lbs total.
And this ignores my humidors

 

[Manawydan]

I like so many different blends that even cellaring 8-16oz of my 'faves' has resulted in about 25 pounds of tobacco in my cellar. I try to temper the feelings of FOMO and fear of the tobaccolypse but am not always successful (and then, like this weekend, another couple pounds is winging its way to my doorstep).

 

[FLDRD]

I don't have a favorite, I have some "preferred" blends. Looking through some of my bins, it would seem that I've a couple pounds of a few favorites that accumulated after grabbing multiple tins and putting them away. Only one preferred I've a couple pounds in bulk. Although I do also have pounds of bulk in various blends.

I second this, a quick video please!

Considering who asked, no. Dave has constantly pushed for photos from my house and collection both here and elsewhere and is giving a bit of a creepiness vibe. After dealing with an online stalker issue elsewhere I'm starting to think it's the same person. @woodsroad posted a thread a few years back describing the process.

This is a lot more normal looking than what was playing out in my head.

Thank you.

Yeah, it isn't that complicated.

 

[fireground_piper]

Yeah, it isn't that complicated.

I was for sure, certain there was at least a hammer, a bearded lady and a pair of gerbils involved in the process. I actually feel let down now!
