Prepper Order

[Jwebb90]

Haha, I love playing the stock the cellar daydreaming game! With $500 to spend I would stock up on G.L. Pease Telegraph Hill, Escudo, Full Virginia Flake (assuming it is in stock), Fribourg &Treyer Black Jack, and Solani Virginia Flake 633.

I've done roughly the same thing this year by getting many pounds. I spent about half of my budget on McClelland tins though. I love the ketchup and I'm a moderate smoker so it is worth it to have smaller quantities of scarce tobacco.

I also got a big Estervals order. These have been tasty blends, but no better than what is available stateside.

 

[seldom]

I imagine I would get some straight Virginia, Virginia/Perique, and some Burley with Virginia. This is based on what others have shared about Virginia ageing well. I'd get variety because I know tastes can change. Tobacco sales don't happen within Germany but if I was back in America I would wait for sales to make the money go further.

Plugs, Plugs, and more Plugs. In case you have to move. Pretty sure I could fit 5lbs of plugs in my jeans pockets.

Specifically (in a perfect world), Dan Salty Dogs, SPC PPSR, SG FVP, SJP, and Ennerdale Plug, Peterson 3Ps, HU Fayyum Kake, Wessex Gold Brick, and ODF Plug

Excuse me sir is that a plug in your pocket or are you just happy to see me!?


Plugs are the way to store and transport tobacco. I have found the finer the cut the better the smoke. More recently tried the Sam Gawith RB and it's a very smooth smoke, definitely a must try for the plug guy!

I would do some research, get my blends lined up then take advantage of a sale with that $500.

I like this. You get sales periodically all year. Decide what you want, then wait and acquire it over a year. You’ll likely be able to hit everything you want at 15-20% off.

Well $500 wouldn't buy nearly as much in the UK but I'd spend it on my current fav's. Probably FVP, SJP, Ennerdale, Old Dark Fired and Germain's Brown & Medium Flakes.

I finished off my cellar with a 50 pound order last Spring. Pick a couple of favorites and load up.

As if finishing a cellar is possible. HAHA.

Personally, I'd get a bunch of everything, instead a lot of a few favorite blends. My tastes keep changing. If I stocked up on what I loved 3 years ago, I'd be pretty bored. You are only talking about 6-8 pounds anyway.

 

[anantaandroscoggin]

I suspect that the only way to know you have finished your cellar would be to discover that no dealers have any tobacco remaining to sell you because it is already in your cellar.

 

[jeff540]

Not a good idea, I strongly advise against it. I'd just buy as you need.

[sablebrush52]

Buy what you know you like to smoke, not what I think you should buy. At least that way you stand a better chance of having $500 worth of something you will not regret buying. Marry in haste, repent at leisure.

Haven't bought any tobacco since. Once I hit 340 pounds, I closed accounts at several online retailers. Just a smoker here.

WOW! I suppose that would be enough. I'm in the 80 lb range, which is twice what I could ever smoke, but half of it I bought too early and I don't like it anymore. Plus, they keep coming out with more blends I want to try.

And I cracked open a 1999 Bells 3 nuns I lucked into, and it was dried out and terrible. I tried to rehydrate, but it molded like crazy. So that has me worried.

I look at blend components. After thirty years I can't find much difference between similar blend types and I stockpiled favorites.

 

[mtwaller]

If it were me I’d probably order a whole ass load of SPC Plum Pudding and Special Reserve, at least 10 tins of Irish Flake, and a few lbs of Stokkebye Luxury Navy.

Fun fact: I recently told myself I’d only cellar blends that I know I love, and I’d stick to a prescribed budget. Last week I blew my budget on 10 tins of C&D 20th Anniv. XX Flake, which I haven’t smoked, so... don’t listen to a single thing I have to say. On anything. I’m a loose cannon with these future unobtanium blends.

 

[sittingbear]

Thanks for everyone's input. I'm definitely going to wait until my favorites are on sale and then pull the trigger, or until whatever law banning online sales finally passes but before it takes effect, whichever comes first.

I actually recently did what you are suggesting and placed a $500 order of all new blends that I have never tried before.

I’ve got everything I want. To toss out $500 for just stuff, would be 14 pounds of Old Joe Krantz, to be ready for the end of days.

 

[troutface]

Or you could just move back to Colorado to be near your buddy's cellar. nana
