Untried Tins

[dervis]

How many tins do you have of blends you have not tried yet? I always keep 1 or 2. Just like the idea of something new when ever the mood may hit. Just noticed though that at the moment I have 12. So how about you?

0... I can't keep from trying new stuff, so I have none.

Untried blends comprise a significant part of my on hand stock, maybe 40 or so tins.

If the tin descriptions sound like something I would probably enjoy I buy them and stash them for a rainy day.

 

[bobpnm]

Eight.

 

[gwtwdbss]

Twenty four here.

 

[captainsousie]

18 blends in 23 tins that I haven't tried. That doesn't include the 7 bulks I have jarred that I haven't yet tried.

If I had to guess, at least 30. Most of my orders I try to order different blends along with 1-2 of my standbys. If the supply ever gets cut off, I still want to be able to enjoy trying new pipe tobaccos for a little while anyways.

I am just getting started and I have 4 already.

4. One of which is H&H Blackhouse. I have wanted to try it for so long but i just don't want to open another tin, I have 12 tins open at the moment and i'm struggling(not like that's a bad thing)to finish up some of those first.

I have 0 untried tins. If I think I want to try a new blend, I buy one tin open it and then see if it is something I want to cellar. I don't want to have untried tins around and then find out I love the blend and then the prices go up and I am stuck. Besides I am like a little kid, when I get something new I have to open it as soon as I get it.

About 6. One of which, is Escudo. I'm waiting for the perfect time to try it.

0. Untried tins are not safe in my house. When an order arrives with an untried tin, I open it the next day and smoke only that tin for a few days until I feel that I understand the tobacco. I only have unopened tins of things I know I like.

 

[judcole]

At this point, none. Of course, I haven't bought any tobacco in a while, either.

 

[gnatjulio]

25!!!!

 

[aikatal]

None. My tobacco budget is a bit restricted, so whatever tobacco I buy, I buy to smoke. Occasionally I have the luxury of cellaring some, but that's always tobacco I've tried before and like. When I buy something new to me, I buy it with the intention of at least trying a bowlful right away. I don't have the patience or fortitude to wait. :D

 

[kashmir]

None. All my tins are of blends I love. I tend to find a handfull of tobaccos and then smoke them for years and years. I enjoy a simplified menu. Know what I like, and then just store pounds and pounds of it away. Prefer to go deep rather than wide. Don't play the field all that much.

 

[lestrout]

Question: Cellar deep or wide?
Answer: All of the above. I need to check the 'puter, but there are several hundred tins sitting, awaiting evaluation for inclusion into the Top100 Cellar, which I'm thinking needs resetting to 200.
