TAD / stock-up for the winter arrives

[rcstan]

The last two weeks I've been putting together a "squirrel away for the winter" and beyond list. I've ordered these from SmokingPipes, 4noggins, Mars Cigars and Smokers Haven. Today, the last of it finally arrived, so I thought I'd get it all together for the world to see. Andy the cat decided to sneak in for the picture too.
1 kg and a tin of SG Commonwealth
2 lbs Balkan Supreme
2 tins University Flake
1 tin Erinmore Flake ( they've changed the tin, last time I bought some it was in the skinny ones )
1 tin SG 1792

rothnh, I'm running out of room. Not counting what I have open, there's close to 7 lbs / 3.5 kg of baccy in my pipe corner, along with 12 pipes, racks, jars, cleaning supplies etc. I'm using a small 3 shelf storage cabinet with doors....

Nice!!! :clap:

It sounds like you need a bigger cabinet.

 

[rcstan]

need a bigger cabinet

Yes I do. It's one of those modular system ones from Target so I'll have to buy another couple pieces. Can't put the pipes out in the open due to space concerns ( 1 br apt ) and 9-month old baby girl who's starting to stand up on her own and get into stuff

Wow! I wish I could stock up like that haha... it's too expensive in Canada and when ordering online I limit myself to what should be duty free which is about 200g per shipment I think.

Nice haul. One can never have too much pipe tobacco

+1 I'm stockpiling big time.Have slowed a little on the PAD in order to increase my stash.

rc, I respect a man who knows what he likes! Good score.
By the way, is that bulk Gawith or just 5 tins packaged up to make 250g? Looks like bulk but I wouldn't know...

 

[rcstan]

simenon, those are 250g foil ( I assume ) pouches, too lightweight to be 5 tins. I haven't yet had the need to open one, a 50g tin lasts me at least a week.

Nice haul!

Vin, even ordering small amounts adds up after awhile, believe me. Plus, it's more fun to keep getting packages instead of all at once...

+1. I didn't have all the money at once to get this stuff so it came from 4 different places. Thankfully, 4noggins has free shipping over $100, and Mars Cigars charges a flat rate. The other two from SP and Smokers Haven were small orders so postage wasn't all that bad.
Being in Alaska, the places that "eat" $10-$20 UPS freight in the lower 48 if you order over $100 apparently can't "eat" $10-$15 USPS Priority Flat to ship up here to us ....

 

[sparroa]

Yeah five tins wouldn't make sense, it'd be larger than that anyway. I just wanted to make sure.

Very nice haul, rcstan. I'm fighting a PAD urge at the moment but I'm putting together my TAD list as I type this.

 

[rcstan]

Thanks, gnatjulio. Recovering from PAD, even though I am eyeballing some estate Petes at the moment. Had to slow down on the PAD because I realized I had too many pipes and not enough tobacco to smoke out of them .......

Wow that is quite a haul.
