I wish I could narrow down my selections to 2 or 3. It would make life so much easier.

This is not a cellar ; it is a basement and it is not even dark !

7 Lbs of Pegasus - Ready for the not so distant future. Each 64 ounce Ball Jar contains 16 ounces (one pound) of tobacco.
It does indeed. I consider myself blessed. My favorites are still in production and sold in bulk. I sleep well these days.
Being a Burley lover, I have not tried Pegasus yet. Thanks to you I will be making a purchase soon. Just not in the amount you have. Ha Ha.
Very nice. No Savenelli products? Need some D'oblone d'oro in there.
Damn dude! You got bit by the bug hard within 4 years... nice looking stash!
That's about where I'm at too, though instead of two, I'm cellaring mostly around five blends, plus a few one offs here and there for fun.
Beautiful cellar, now you have enough to last you the rest of your life, unless you smoke it. 
Wow--Cool! You pack 'em tight! I'm sooo jealous, I can't get more than 10 or 12 oz in a big jar. Great job!!

Now this is how dark it should be in a real , eerie cellar , like ours :
And there are some tins in here too. I suppose . Somewhere. Please help; it's dark as Dickens...

Bravo on the stash. Not sure I’ll go that high in quantity - but, who knows. I’m sitting on just over 20 lbs at the moment with only a few blends measuring in pounds.
I did want to mention, perhaps a nerd moment for the day, 8 oz Ball Mason jars with lids weigh 6.8 oz +\- .1oz; and 16 oz Ball/Mason jars weight 9.1 oz +\- .1 oz. They’re very consistent which one would expect from modern manufacturing. I share this as it might help with some of your blends in these size jars if you want to know what you’ve got.
I don’t mind the jars, but only use these two sizes. 8oz jars contain 2oz tobacco each and 16 oz jars contain 4oz each - and yes, I weigh each one when loading. Now, for the stored jars I can simply do a quick count and know what I’ve got. Perhaps it seems anal, but it works for me. I only jar bulk…or once I open a tin…seems like a waste of time to crack every tin and jar it…not to mention the chances of being scolded for ruining the best chances for the aging process ?.
When you said your cellar was broad you weren't kidding. But, are you sure you have enough??
How did you get all those pictures of @Chasing Embers cellar??? ?
Some say ---T or get off the pot. We can see the way you went!
Your estate sale will be very interesting.
May it be many decades from now.

Looking good. I am about done purchasing myself. Mostly just resupplying some bulk blends.
In addition to the stuff in the pics, I have an accumulation of baggies, stuff taken in trade and left over from jarring. I think I've only opened 2 tins this year and no jars. Just smoking down that pile of baggies. There's 3 or 4 medium flat rate boxes full of odds and ends not in the family photo, one of Lakeland baggies, one of retail pouches (Amphora, Condor, etc). I've literally been swimming in the stuff. I still do 1-2 bowls per weeknight and 2-4 per weekend day, on average.
At the above mentioned rate of consumption, I believe i have about 25 years covered. I'm sure thing s will creep in here and there as I go along. Now that the "heavy lifting" is done, I can just have fun with it.
Nice work! There are certain blends I’m not quite deep enough on, and I’ll be buying more for a while yet. However, I have enough to last me as long as I’ll be smoking if I had to stop buying today. It’s a good feeling, isn’t it?
