Which Blend Might You Be Short On?

[dcon]

I doubt that I will ever suffer for variety with over 300+ blends cellared. I keep going deeper on my top tobaccos by buying poundage during sales. I would like to go even deeper (need?) but, I keep getting side tracked by the allure of trying new or (believe it or not) new to me blends.

Warrior Plug. I bought what I could afford when I heard it was being discontinued and managed to get 13 pouches. I've got 10 left and I'm rationing it to a pouch a year for the next decade.
I smoke it more as a treat now.

 

[shanez]

The answer right now is simultaneously all of them and none of them.

I find myself sticking with a few in each blend genre while occasionally trying new blends in a particular genre to see if they are good enough to cellar. So for favorites I have plenty but if I find a new blend I like enough to cellar then I don't have enough of it.

Also, with the current situation of the world I find myself smoking more than I normally do so that throws things off a bit.

 

[wyfbane]

I missed out on a lot of the tobaccos that many hold dear. I missed out on the run on German tobaccos, and didn't have the funds to stock up as deeply as I would have liked on McClelland blends.

If the it hit the fan tomorrow, I would be a bit more careful how I paced the McClelland and Esoterica blends I do have and would be seriously sad once my SPC Plum Pudding and McC stock dwindled to 0.

Depends on the day and what I'm hankering for. Right now, I could use some Durbar and Germain's Medium Flake.

 

[bnichols23]

Anything Mclellland, since I'm out of it all now. But most particularly their Erik Nordings.

If it makes you feel better, I’ve always been out of McClelland...

What, you've never dived and swam in them, like Scrooge McDuck and his money? ?

 

[Sonorisis]

I imagine that, in a world with fewer choices, I'd settle on Rattray's Tobaccos. In that case, I would need want than I have. But, with all the other things on the shelf, I'm good for the foreseeable future (a.k.a. Lifetime)

Oh yeah, I just meant for smoking. I have so much I use it as kindling for the wood burner or to line the chooks best boxes

 

[maulragoth]

I'd probably like a couple more lbs of Luxury Navy Flake, SG Full Virginia Flake, a few pounds of 4 different Rattray's (possibly as they are brand new cellaring for me), and probably about 2-5 more lbs of Balkan Supreme. I don't think I have anything much else to add to the cellar to last until death. Hopefully I have the problem of having to stock up again in the future and under-calculated.

 

[maulragoth]

Upon returning to more regular smoking, the first thing I purchased was ps312
Toasted burley. Loved it. In my wisdom I chose not to cellar more than 4oz as I wanted to prioritise trying more stuff...foolish mistake. It was discontinued within months. From stuff that is still available, I am fearlessly low on HB, GH BF#7 and 79. I have enough treat tins to see me through, it’s just my regulars I’d be caught short on

Dig on P.S. Toasted Burley with ya. Keep a few lbs to keep from ever running out, though I do the same with Five Brothers that I jarred about 5 lbs of as well. I really enjoy both back and forth on many days.

 

[Pipelady20]

I am really behind, I need to figure out what I like before I can stock up on anything!
I think that if there was a time line, I would just order what I could afford, probably multiple tins of Mac Baren Navy flake as that is what I like the most at the moment and just random tins, accepting that I only have one if I really like them. That way I could also trade them with people who have what I like stocked up and are looking for that one tin that I have. In that case I guess I would just accept that I wouldn't get to try that one that I traded

This is me too, except what i like isn't made anymore. Down to 2 tins of FMC.

 

[3rdguy]

I would say Pelican. I am down to about 7 tins and have not seen it on a major retailer in 3 years.

 

[jpberg]

RG Plug. It was so damned expensive buying it from Glyn (while he had it) that I never really hit it hard.
In retrospect, I wish I had.

 

[didimauw]

I only have 4 1/2 tubs, 1 8oz jar, and two pouches of Carter hall. I NEED TO GET MORE

What's that, like 5 lbs?

 

[didimauw]

What's that, like 5 lbs?

Yes 5 lbs Roughly. Seeing as I smoke about 8 lbs a year, I would run out pretty quickly. But I also have about 3 pounds of Briar Fox, two pounds of Pegasus, two tubs of Catham Manor (yuck) 1 pound of old dark fired 3 lbs of HH burley flake, a pound of Ryback, and other miscellaneous blends to smoke through..

But I'd be lost without Carter Hall...

 

[lochinvar]

I'm shortest on blends from our friends at Germain. Brown Flake, Rich Dark Flake and Esoterica Stonehaven are at pretty low levels in the cellar. There are a few of the McClelland Grand Oriental varietals I don't have, but I have a few of my favorites.

 

[sablebrush52]

I'm pretty happy with the pile. I doubt I'll run out of all options before I fall off the perch.
