The Motherlode

[BarrelProof]

I spent about 3.5 months working down in Texas and kept buying things online to be sent to the house. The problem was I forgot what all I had bought and couldn’t see it in person to know how much I had. This was a recipe for disaster and here is the result. I still have a few more boxes to open as well as about a pound and a half of tobacco that hasn’t been delivered, yet. FML.

Well this beats my "I forgot what I bought" thread all to hell. It's also about equal to my whole cellar at the moment.

Looks like a darn good haul and enough to keep you going for a week or two. Congratulations and hopefully your bank account will recover sometime in the next decade.

“So I got that going for me which is pretty nice.”?️

This doesn’t include the 50+ tins and 7-8 pipes I bought when I was in Texas. I don’t have the stones to bring those in from the camper in the wake of this...

As long as you had enough tobacco to hold you over for the 3.5 months, this is all just back up.

Oh and btw, that's too much. You bought too much.

I don't need to tell you that GL Pease is essential in any survival situation. A dozen tins of Quiet Nights ought to solve the problem but feel free to reinforce with Westminster and Haddo's as you see fit.

Nice haul! You need to work projects away more often. lol

 

[gervais]

Holy shit! That's probably a lifetime worth of leaf! ( For me anyways) nice stash man!

Remember to get some plum pudding next order.

Yeah, I've had those months. Nice to know that I'm not alone.

I see a lot of good smoking there, my friend! Enjoy!

I notice it was unpacked in the bathroom. Are you by chance married and hideing it from the significant other? ??

That’s my next addition but it might take a while. At this point, I’m comfortable waiting on a sale to come around.

No, my closet is in there and after about the first ten boxes, she got tired of putting them on the bar in the kitchen and moved them all to my closet. At the time of opening, I was beyond overwhelmed at the thought of moving them somewhere else to opening them as we don’t usually keep a wheelbarrow in the house.

However, her introduction to this scene was closely supervised and well thought out in advance.

I’m not quite done with Plum Pudding SR and HH ODF just yet. Those two will see a substantial investment.

Holy crap! I don’t know how your wife is, but I’d have been scared to walk in the house!

I see no hint of a disaster, though getting in or out of the tub might be trouble.

I pole-vaulted in high school and the wife is small enough to be thrown.

No glass jars?
