It may be a bit early still, but as a new piper I have not really yet considered whether I should create a cellar because my tastes have not been developed yet. However, I can see a few possible favourites starting to emerge.
Also reading on here, I am seeing that some are cellaring in anticipation of laws passing which will adversely affect the ability to get at least some tobaccos... which I assume will put another squeeze on some companies in terms of whether they can continue to stay in business.
So to a newbie, what would you advise you would do if you were just starting out today? How aggressive should I be in cellaring? Do I stockpile only some tobaccos or rank certain types with priority? Is there a chance of a pipe tobacco apocalypse and all types of pipe tobacco will disappear? I have done some searching on the internet and it is not clear to me.
At the end of the day if we lose all tobaccos, life will go on and I'll find other pursuits... but it seems a bit prudent in my new hobby to at least take a considered position and be intentional about whatever I do.
I know no one has a crystal ball, but any advice or speculation appreciated!
