Tobaccos that are Staples in Your Cellar

[spicy_boiii]

Ones I have the most of :

SG FVF/Kendal Plug/BBF/SJF/1792/Sam's Flake/Kendal Cream Flake/Cabbies

Eight State Burley
2020 Cringle Flake
Elizabethan Match
Warped: Red Hunt & King's Stride
Esoterica Va & VaPer blends
D&R Rimboche (all three)
C&D SunBear

I also have significant quantities (but not specific blends like above) of:

Most GLP
Most Macbaren
Watch City Limited release stuff

A large variety of K&K produced Virginia blends (Vauen, McConnell, Sillems, Astleys, F&T, Wessex, etc.)

I also have about 20 pounds of red VA (simply red, 515, mccranies ribbon) for significant aging and later blending. Probably with my home-grown Burley and Oriental project.

My cellar is deep but also wide.

From one codger burley appreciator to another, how long does it take you to smoke a 14 oz. tub?

There were a couple summers before I got into cigars where I smoked almost only Carter Hall, and each of those summers, it took me the better part of the entire season to get through a tub. I still smoke burley regularly, but these days, I've been on the same tubs of Carter Hall, Chatham Manor, Angler's Dream, Chestnut, and Ready Rubbed for a few years now.

I smoke two tubs of Granger per year. I’m a once per day smoker.

But I love the stuff. I know it can vanish forever
and I want to cellar enough to allow me at least one bowl per day for the rest of my life.

I have enough to last 10 years now.

I buy it at $24.99 per can so for $199 an order of 8 tubs is quite reasonable.

No other tobacco comes close for me. I consider myself one of the lucky few, LawDog. ? ?

That's some of what I have stocked in the cellar and that come to mind as favs. They are all marvelous.

Sure I missed many too. Been in the hobby a while and don't imbibe much, so I collected a fair amount and don't have a solid inventory. Gonna be a heck of a yard sale someday....

 

[Bivymack]

In the short very time I’ve been at it I’ve made an effort to stock up on:

MB HH Burley Flake
MB HH ODF
GLP Haddo’s Delight
GLP Union Square
C&D Oak Alley
C&D Three Friars
C&D Pegasus
C&D OJK
Capstan Blue
Doblone d’Oro
Brunello Flake

I hear Rattray’s isn’t what it used to be, I’ve not had pre-2016 but have enjoyed the blends regardless.. having found 500g available at Mars Cigars and Pipes just today I pulled the trigger on Marlin Flake and Old Gowrie.

 

[AroEnglish]

Wow, I assumed people had deep cellars but what I’m reading here is amazing! Anyone have any pics they want to share?

Also, anyone have thoughts on cellaring bulk tobacco like PS English Oriental Supreme and Sutliff Aromatic English? Is it worth it or will this stuff pretty much always be around?

 

[Scottishgaucho]

Imported brands have become silly expensive here and my favourite Condor isn't available anyway. So I set out to try the domestically produced brands. They used to be awful but in recent years they've upped their game in order to compete. I have to say they've improved immensely especially the Virginia/Burley blends. So as they cost a fraction of the price I tend to stick to them. Far easier to buy as well which is a big plus.
Unfortunately none come in flake form which for me is a pity. Small growers do make a very decent Criollo rope though which I always have stored.

Noobs might get the wrong idea of what that is with your dog in the background...

Those look fantastic! I have recently tried some German Schmalzlers (i.e. Bernard Schmalzlerfranzl & Poschl Perlesreuter) that I believe are made from similar rope tobaccos from Brazil. cossackjack posted a photo that left me drooling, from The Tabacaria Arapiraca. I didn't realize they made similar products in Argentina, as well.

Yes the one available here is produced up close to the border with Brasil.
I was once given a sample of Brasilian rope to try. However of all the good ones they must have I got one I din't like. They seem to use the rope for making roll your own cigarettes rather than to smoke in a pipe.

 

[Elric]

My cellar is too wide and insufficiently deep but I am working on stocking the following:

Presbyterian Mixture
Solani Aged Burley Flake / Wessex Burley Slice
Reiner Long Golden Flake / Solani Silver Flake
Newminster Superior Navy Flake
Edward G. Robinson Blend
A variety of aros for when the mood hits.

[Inspired Idler]

Looking through everyone's replies I feel like I could sub in a majority of the choices and still be content. Despite all of the regulations and loss of brands squeezing down on us, I think we're pretty darn lucky to have such a variety of blends to choose from.
