[Ahi Ka]

I just arrived in Florida on Wednesday, I feel your passion a bit. I brought a small amount from my cellar, the car presented some space limitations. I'll move a bit more each trip, even when flying. No organization at all at this point, just moved it from toes and tubs into a cabinet in the FL man cave. Still getting organized period, shipping for a desk at present.

Hell yea man! I know I need to get on weighing the jars. I weighed an empty one then subtract that off. It’s a total pain in the dick. Would be a lot easier to input as you buy it lol

You are so right. I have every type of jar. 1/4 pint jammies all the way up to regular and wide mouth quarts. It is hard to remember what the empty weight for each type is, let alone going from Ball to Kerr, or even (eyes downcast), Walmart brand.

It contains tobacco of such magnificence that he dare not reveal it in public. He has no guns, they were lost in a boating incident...

Dude, you are one of the masters. I have gotten glimpses through your posts as to the vastness of your cellar. I was way too much of an underachiever in the career department to keep up with you. lol
I hope you have a nice, climate controlled room in Florida for that treasure trove of yours and I hope to meet you someday so we can compare notes once the 'rona madness is over.

I organize everything by Genre - English, Balkan, Oriental, Virginia, Burley rather than manufacturer. Am I alone in this?

That would be my approach too if I had sufficient space/stock

The man cave is the 2 car garage. We installed one of those heating/ac units with the motor/compressor outside and the fan unit mounted near the ceiling on the wall. It does a fabulous job of maintaining the temperature and humidity and has a hand held remote control for adjustments. I may end up loading everything in a couple of tubs and transferring in the house during the months we're not going to be here. I hope to meet you as well, if you're in the Sarasota area, give me a holler. I've had the virus so you're safe from me and I'm safe from you, at least as far as the virus goes. LOL

I see some Latakia on the shelf. You sure you're feeling ok?

So the next time the wife mentions my growing hoarde I will simply retort with "But BROBS has more..."

...way back in the day, on page 1, what are those things leanin' up against your Esoterica stash? Swords? Giant churchwardens?

Also excited to look into McConnell Black Flake thanks to this thread, cheers!

For guests who lack the refinement to understand what good pipe tobacco is.

Perhaps you should dispose of it, then. Don't want it attracting a bunch of riffraff hanging about, giving an uncouth and proletariat appearance to the, uh, garage. ?

Sadly, I have a few friends that actually smoke that crap. And when you're an asshole like me, you can't be the picky about your friends.

Same boat, here, but it makes me appreciate the friends I have - they're true blues. Ain't got no time for boring people I don't REALLY get along with or don't bring much to the table.

My friends love the smell of Balkan blends. They draw the most compliments.

I demand a ban on cellar posts!

I think you’ll enjoy black flake if you like FVF or Capstan.

Nice, man! I’m glad you explained it was the garage .. I thought you moved into a storage unit! Lol
That’s pretty sweet tho you can just open the door on nice days.

moving the tobacco sucks,eh?

As for organizing I just mainly go by brand as most of my stuff is VA / VaPer of some kind. Or aro

I don't have that kind of space. It's all just jumbled in there. I am lucky if I can keep individual blends together. lol
