Updated View of My Cellar

[jmatt]

I haven't taken a shot of my cellar lately, so here's a "before" from about a year ago, and an "after" which is today:

This was my basic starter kit.

This is my Va/VaPer/VaBur stash only. English/Orientals are in another cabinet (I only have maybe 30 tins) and aromatics are in another (maybe 15 tins or so).

Looks delicious. You get bonus points for the Semois peeking through in back!

 

[stickframer]

Nice looking stash.

 

[papipeguy]

Man, that makes mine look pretty meager. Lot's of nice treats there.

 

[cortezattic]

That's a better assortment than some B&M's I've been in. :clap:

 

[johnbarleycorn]

Wow. I was feeling pretty good about the meager collection I was putting together in my cellar. Now I know I have work to do.

 

[pipedreamin]

My god, that's an apocalypse stash, I feel so unprepared. Very nice.

 

[jmatt]

Everything's relative gentlemen. There's plenty of cellars in this forum that put me to shame. If there's any lesson I can share to others it's this: Buy a tin of each thing you THINK you'll like before you start buying five, ten, or more of each tin. Sometimes I already knew the tobacco, sometimes I got lucky, and sometimes I got five tins and know I'll never open the next four. I think I'm finally at the point (knock on briar) that I've smoked almost every blend I've got.
But I haven't tried Semois yet. Or the Reiner Long Golden Flake. Or Opening Night. Or........dammit. I gotta go pop some tins!!!

Are you preparing for the apocalypse??? That is an 'end of days' stash you have there!

 

[jakegoodman]

Nice. You got some McCranie's there. Reds are my favorite and I have few of them in my cellar and it is also local product.

Nice Job jmatt. All my stuff is stashed away in Tupperware bins. Hopefully when I move I'll be able to get something a little nicer to display my stockpile in my office. I love posts about tobacco cellars.

HAHAHA...Stick around the forums more. While this cellar is a great one, that's nothing compared to what some people have locked away in their trove.

When people start posting pictures of their bomb shelters with specialized smoking rooms and tobacco caches, then we know the pipe smoking and prepper subcultures will have crossed over.
Might be a good thing, actually....

What derfargin said!
To put it in perspective, I have about 35 pounds. A number of guys have 100-150 pounds. And one famous member here has at least 675 pounds stocked up.

Very nice. You get a 9/10 from the Canadian judge. You lost a point for the semois.

As if on cue, the 675 pound gorilla enters the room.
Can I get part of that point back if I've not yet tried Semois? Regardless - I'll take those 9 points any day!

555.555.5555. A phone number for a help line.
Just joking of course. Nice stash!!!

 

[jvnshr]

You are on the right path.

 

[4etecjonathan]

The idea to garner so much tobacco for ones own use is idiotic to me. You might be dead before You get to smoke all that you have!!

Death does not stop a devoted pipe smoker.
