“NICOTINE IS AN ADDICTIVE CHEMICAL”

I feel like I’ve read that somewhere.....

Nice!!
@tfdickson is that one of those urology strainers, used to catch stones in the bottom shelf of the first pic? I have one in each bathroom, but I never thought to put one in my tobacco cellar. puffy

Can’t be too careful, right? :)

It‘s just a funnel sized for mason jars. I tend to jar in 3lb batches (usually a flat of 1/2 pint jars) and it makes the process much easier.

I go back and forth between being embarrassed of my 35-40 pound cellar and being greatful that I have it. Right now I'm thoroughly enjoying a bowl of Balkan Blue that never could have happened if I hadn't stashed some away when it was available. I doubt that any of us will ultimately regret having a good supply of tobacco as long as there weren't too many financial sacrifices made in accumulating it. It's only when non smokers (every single person I know) see it and look at me like I'm crazy that I wonder about my sanity.

I see nothing wrong there. You love pipe tobacco and the idea of always having it available. Is this normal? Probably not. Pipe smokers aren't exactly normal, are they? By the way, how many pounds are you up to?

Absolutely not! You have a problem and are in need of an immediate intervention. Now listen carefully - package all of that up and ship it to me tomorrow. It is very important that you do this for your own good.

Good point. Also now I am starting to worry about a ban on internet sales .. our B&M has a pretty abysmal selection. I guess in my mind I envision thinking of a style or type of tobacco I want to smoke and always just having it on hand and available... looking like a 1950s dad or a professor in a smoking jacket in a library of tobaccos. Though with all the options out there this is unrealistic.
I am honestly not sure how many pounds I have in jars but maybe 20-30? Maybe more? It’s hard to tell because I have a ton of small jars from when I opened tins. I should probably smoke through some of those before I open anymore tins.

The possible Internet ban is the main reason I've decided to finish my tobacco purchasing asap. Our B&M's are the same as yours. Their pipe tobacco selection is almost non-existent unless you don't mind trying their own blends.
I also have not figured out how many pounds I have, but would guess about 50. I could be way off though.

another anecdotal observation.. My local B&M is increasing their supply of pipe tobacco. And, their inhouse blends aint bad either. I'm upbeat about the future.. until I have a reason not to be
Still, Ive only got 4 pounds in my possession... the TAD continues
