Why I'm Selling Lots of Tobacco

[hoosierpipeguy]

Several people have asked. Might as well provide a reasonable detailed explanation one time.

We now mostly live in Florida in a home about 40% smaller than what we had in Indiana. No basement. As I've moved tobacco here, several realities set in. No way possible am I going to be able to store all my tobacco here in Florida and I have far,far more tobacco than I'll ever be able to smoke. With this most recent sale, I've probably sold most of what I want to sell from what I've already got here in Florida. I'm going to be in Indiana in July and plan to list as much as possible for sale during that time.

It really is that simple. Climate controlled storage space in this area in Florida is very expensive. Makes no sense to spend $3,000 or more per year to store something I'll never use. Even if I sell 100 pounds, I still have way more than I'll ever smoke.

Nah, you’re just being modest.

We all know you’re a kind hearted generous chap.

Enjoy Florida!

I've been toying with the idea of some sort of change, but I've had this handle since my digital life began, so I'm undecided. By that logic, hoosierpipeguy will soon become seminolepipeguy...

Seminolepipeguy? Is that French? He may want to rethink that handle.

Looking forward to seeing what's gonna be up for grabs.

Mark, I did a double-take. At first glance, I thought you wrote, ". . . Even if I sell 1000 pounds, I'll still have more than I'll ever smoke." And to me, at first blush, that seemed a reasonable remark coming from you after the move and considering you cellar! I just figured you had miscounted on some of your earlier cellar inventory figures and missed a room somewhere BTW--as with your pipe sales from time to time, your prices made those offerings quite tempting!

Glad your getting settled and the Family's thriving! Jealous of having grandkids, also. We're looking forward to our's someday.
kindly,
mike

100 pounds of Hoosier tobacco, not just any tobacco. I think the list of buyers is going to be very long. Open the door Hoosier, are you there? Open up, damn it.

Actually it’s that the greens fees and country club fees keep going up!

 

[dcon]

I hear you Mark. I am going through a similar phase of realizing that I have no additional room and I have MUCH more than I will live to smoke. And I have lived in
FL for 15 years ?

I think that I'm facing this decision in a few years, my kids/grandkids live in Louisiana, the land of no storage/basements in homes.
