What Will Become of Your Cellar When You Pass?

[bent1]

It’s a morbid question, but the posts of cellar size had me thinking. I’m certain my heirs will have to deal with my cellar (in addition to my pipes) when I pass, especially given what limited time I’ve had for the pipe lately. I maintain a catalog & description of my cellar which should help. Hopefully there will continue to be a consignment market in the future. Curious what your thoughts are on the subject?

It’s not a morbid question at all. I think about it for sure. I have no children and no heirs. I drew up an estate plan with my lawyer recently that includes inventory on pipes and tobacco and watches and other collectibles. I have very specific itemized spread sheets made up with individual values and totals. My estate plans are very specific.

There will be instructions to contact Steve Fallon, aka pipestud, and Mr. Gluckner at Briar Blues. I may will my Barlings to the Bard. Dunhills to Duane. Petes to whoever is the biggest Pete basher. OK, jk on last two.

I like the idea of an itemized spreadsheet. However, given the number of pipes and amount of different tobaccos, I might not get it finished in time!
:roll:

I'm available for adoption if this is causing you more stress than you are wanting to deal with.

 

[npod]

Hoosier, if I adopt you then you have to follow my rules like a good boy. But knowing your strong sense of self, maybe it’s best we just have a side deal. You can have my Royal Yacht for sure.
How about this ... you can have my High Quality Undetectable Counterfeit Banknotes!

I've got a post it with a few names/numbers on it.

LOL

I think I'll have a big table at my funeral filled with the books, music, pipes, tobaccos and trinkets that my main heir(s) don't necessarily want... and there will be a sign that reads "take one."

Burned on my funeral pyre.

I'm takin' it with me.

 

[warren]

My guess would be he local landfill.

So long and thanks for all the tobacco?

 

[olkofri]

Who knows?
It's likely to end up in the garbage, given the current attitudes towards tobacco.

Gosh Dad, that's so thoughtful of you.

I've left instructions in my will. Whether they will be followed is anyone's guess, but I likely won't care, since I'm dead.

 

[jrenko]

When i am gone i am not going to worry what happens to my pipes or cellar. My wife can throw it in the trash if she wants to.

 

[Chasing Embers]

If I precede my wife, that'll be more tobacco for her cellar.

 

[mikethompson]

Probably just thrown in the trash, and as for the pipes maybe someone will keep one or two.

 

[aldecaker]

My cellar goes to Sablebrush. My pipes? My kids will probably have to figure that one out.
