What a great idea for a smoking cabinet.

That's a tape/DVD storage cabinet isn't it?

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

Yep, that it is.

It's a Sauder entertainment storage system and I got it at Big Lots for under $100! It even locks and it weighs more than I do.

mine is a large tupperware container....too embarrased to post up a picture of it for you. :crying:

[bubbadreier]

Quick question about cellaring tobacco...

Upon storing a newly purchased tin of tobacco, is it best to go ahead and pop the tin, or should I leave it sealed to age???
Any tips would be wonderful!

 

[unclearthur]

If you plan to age it leave it sealed.

 

[jallen49]

Thank you unclearthur, good to know. This thread has inspired me to begin proper cellaring.

I know what you mean. After looking at atwageman's cellar, I near died. I can't even imagine owning all that, though I sure can dream about it.

Forget owning it, how about smoking it? That's more tobacco than I could smoke (given my current rate of consumption) in TWO lifetimes.

Looking good Jason! I am looking to get a new case that will allow me to get my cellar out of the closet and on display!

If you've popped the tin because you wanted to try it, and figured out you didn't like it as much, would you put it in a jar or leave it in the tin ?
I have a tin of FMOTT, which is opened and I tried a couple of bowls. Not my cup of tea, so I'll let it sit for a while until either my palette or the tobacco evolves ;-)
So, would you leave it in the tin or put it in a jar ?
Thanks for all the help

 

[olderthandirt]

I put everything into a mason jar.

In the circumstance you describe with the FMOTT, doing so allows you to revisit it in a month or a year and you can be confident it'll be ready to smoke when you do.
Of course you can always send it to me if you'd rather, I'll darn sure smoke it! (-:

No pic, but:
The cellar - stuff set aside for aging - is about 2.5 kilos.

The stuff that is just waiting to go into the rotation is about 1.5 kilos.

So about 9 pounds, all told - plus the active rotation. Maybe 10 lbs total. ::

Bootleg and Cyndi that is a cool idea.
