What Tobaccos do You Not Cellar?

[reloader]

I don't think I'd buy anything just to cellar it. I now buy in small sizes to try a blend and if I really like it then I'll buy it in bulk and jar it. Primarily have a cellar because increased taxes on tobacco or a ban on online sales is a distinct possibility in my state.

Other than 3Ps, I am not a big fan of Peterson blends so they are not represented in my stash.

I dont buy any tobacco I dont plan to cellar. When I 1st started it seemed tedious to age and cellar. I was anxious for lack of a better word to have a nice collection of aged tobacco. Now Im finding jars that are 5+ years old that I didnt really plan on aging that long it just happened. Some it seemed like just a few months ago i put them away to sleep and bam.. aged tobacco. Hope I like 20+ year old tobacco one day because i know i got way more than i can get to in the next few years.

I only cellar Germain's Brown Flake because it's hard to come by. I've smoked some that was a few years old and I couldn't taste much difference. Sam Gawith No.4 Twist doesn't seem to change much, either.

I feel like I'm in middle of the spectrum from all other comments made. I buy a blend and buy it fresh. If I really enjoy it, I buy a bunch of it and cellar it. I tend to keep the fresh tobacco in jars, and anything for aging goes into mylar or in the tins. I understand aging and I do it because it has phenomenal results. But I also enjoy having some fresh on hand because like others said, a good blend should be enjoyed both fresh and aged.

Me negative? I don’t believe you’ve known me long enough to make that assessment.

that's so negative.

I cellar cause bulk is cheaper and tins don't last long enough. They're gone once you start really dig into how good a blend actually is.

Bad ones. I don’t cellar bad ones. Don’t smoke them either.

Everything I buy gets cellared. I don't smoke fast or often enough. And it's fun seeing crap load of tins piling up.

Just in to say there were two things I really liked about Titanic but not enough to watch it again.

Now I've forgotten what my point was in regard to tobacco . . . .

Where the two things you liked about the movie Kate Winslet's tits and Leonardo DiCaprio's death?

Interesting...
I like Peterson blends.

I buy to smoke now, but I'll buy extra to have some in reserve. I guess that if it sits in the basement long enough that's cellaring. Otherwise I'd just characterize it as stashing.

They're not bad., just didn't click with me. I do appreciate Peterson taking up the blends and making them available.

Tobaccos that are better fresh? I have no idea because I have been cellaring a relatively short amount of time. The only reason I started cellaring was a combination of TAD and deep concern that tobacco would spike in price due to that bill that is thankfully dead (at least for the time being). Most of the things that I have cellared I have never tried but I have very little that I have more than 2-4 oz of. Some of the things that I have cellared I have sampled but wanted to save for later to see if they would change or improve (not that they were bad fresh: but I agree with sablebrush that PS-LBF is not great fresh and improves with age).

That's three things.

If someone just relies on what's popular... that doesn't even make sense. So, you just trust what "trended."
The top five most popular films of all times were...

1. Gone With the Wind (1939)
2. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
3. The Sound of Music (1965)
4. E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
5. Titanic (1997)

If someone just relied on what trended, you'd have to say that these were your favorites also. I did not like any of these. I mean, Gone With the Wind is ok, but better than Pop Fiction? WTF
I don't have enough estrogen in my system to watch Titanic, and we all know how it ends anyways. The rest are just sucky children's movies.

I agree! That list is complete ? ?! ? Everybody knows the Top 5 ? s all time are as following… ️
1. Lawrence of Arabia
2. Guns of Navarone
3. Casablanca
4. Goodfellas
5. The Last Dragon

Histrionics ?

Well, I don't age most of the pipe tobacco that I buy since I don't really have the budget to buy a lot of stuff to not smoke, but in the spirit of the question...

- Pretty much any of the C&D Burley-based blends. I'm not sure I buy into the idea that burleys don't improve with age, but I don't bother aging these At least part of what appeals to me about these tobacco is that they are strong, rustic and spicy.

- Lat bombs... In my limited experience, the Latakia blends that age the best have significant VA and (non-fumigated) Oriental content. If I am smoking a mixture with a heavy Latakia content, I wantto taste a heavy dose of Latakia

- Strong flakes. I go back and forth with these. I actually suspect some of them like Irish Flake or Gawith Hogarth's Dark Flake may age fairly well. On the other hand, I had some 2012 Old Dark Fired last year and despite the heavy VA content, I did not find the additional age to be much of an improvement.

- Aromatics and heavily flavored blends. I don't smoke many aromatics, but I wouldn't bother with most of them, nor with most of the scented Lakelands.
