What's in Your Cellar?

cigrmaster, you ain't kidding. The taxes can only go up, anything bought now is cheaper than it will be in the future.

While I've expanded greatly what I own (from 2 oz. to 10 lbs. since June), I don't have blends I "cellar" yet- still figuring out what I like!
I have 1 pound of MacB ODF, 1 pound H&H Anni Kake, almost a pound of H&H Marble Kake....after that any blend I have is less than 10oz. What I have is a decent amount of variety.
The good news is I smoke maybe 2-3 bowls/week, so if I stopped now I have a decent supply...

Harris, I 100% agree with you on your reasoning behind cellaring. I am still on the journey of exploring and sampling blends to figure out my likes and dislikes. I was just curious to know what members focused on after the cellar goals where complete.

mike73, when I came back to my pipes in April of 2012 after a few year lay off, I spent 5 months sampling things to try and figure out what I wanted for my cellar. For me it was not that hard because I knew that I liked only VA, Vaper and Vabur flakes, so I could concentrate on just sampling those. I did dabble in aromatics for a couple of months but decided they were not for me, and then in September of 2012, I made the commitment to try and get my cellar completed before Jan 1 2014. During my sampling stage, I found a lot of the favorites I have now and even as recently as 2 months ago I found 2 others( Capstan Blue Flake and Klodnike Gold) to add to my cellar. Now if someone comes up with a new flake and I end up loving it, I will grab a bunch, so in reality, the cellaring never really ends.
