Greetings Pipe-Smoking Community! You may be happy to hear that there won't be a thirty-page essay -- just a brief description and two pics.
My cellar currently comprises 59 unique blends and 9 blending components. I have opened and tried 36 of the blends. My open blends are primarily stored in 8 oz ball canning jars and mylar bags with my 'active rotation' being also in Pocket Jar Max's for more frequent use. This has worked well for me so far. I print my own jar labels (pull image from internet, crop, print, cut out, and adhere with white glue). So far I try to cellar four tins of blends I love and when I need to replenish I purchase a new tin to open so my existing stash can continue to age. This has amounted to 14.3 pounds of tobacco total so far. At my current rate I figure I can smoke for about 4.1 years.
Target Room Essentials 41-quart Under Bed Storage Tub: contains my canning jars and open mylar bags. Note that I actually store this under a bed, so the tobacco isn't continuously exposed to sunlight.
Craftsman Heavy-Duty Latching Storage Tub: contains only unopened tins and heat-sealed mylar bags of tobacco.
