Oh, how I've missed these little guys. They're so adorable at that age. There're a couple boxes as yet unaccounted, but they're there in the house somewhere.  |

In my previous adventures back and forth across the country, my tins and jars were always the first thing loaded, and first thing unpacked.
Nice stash

Yup, I've had the disorder for a long time. Thank goodness I'm not into high-end pipes.

And this...is why the rest of us suffer in a supply chain challenged world. Thanks a lot Emily!  |

And this...is why the rest of us suffer in a supply chain challenged world. Thanks a lot Emily! Heh, prior proper planning and all that jazz. And there aren't many chase blends in there. I'm lucky to be satisfied with a lot of readily available blends. I picture some of you guys sitting on piles of Penzance like Smaug. You know who you are! |

Don't listen to him, Emily...you should see his stash. š |

So, I think we need an update on your stash. What are you smoking? What are the ages on the blends?
I got to looking through my cellar of my stacks of tins moved to the front which are "mentally ordered" as my next tins able to be opened. These range from 1.5 years of age already to about 5 years of age and of these tins I have about 20 blends there I've never even tried yet. 20+ more that are favorites in the same age range, and many tins with 10-20 years of age on them that I have no plans at all to open, any time soon. It's madness!

Getting the cellar sorted is down on my priority list, but I found the box of daily drivers. To put it unkindly, I'm a tobacco whore--I smoke just about anything! I have a few tins from 00s and really started cellaring in 2010ish. There's a smattering of McClelland that won't be touched for a while and plenty of CD/GLP and the Gawiths that are in it for the long haul, too.

Right on. Maybe at some point, we can just have a thread like this and post a few pictures of what's in our cellars rather than having to list them out.

I'd like to see that. There are some pretty impressive collections out there. I wonder, does anyone here use tobaccocellar.com? I'd never be that organized and I have many, many blends of which I only have two tins. It would have been helpful to track my bulks, had I logged each of them upon receipt, but again, I'm not that organized!

There are some people that are very well organized using Excel spreadsheet, and editing it as product moves in and out of the cellar.
I thought about doing it, but it would be a pain in the neck after the fact.
It would however allow me to manage it better.
I have just gotten to the point that I am not buying any tobacco for many moons. At the rate I smoke, it will all outlast me.

I'm in that boat, too. I'll pick up a new blend here and there, but I wouldn't run out if I didn't.

Iāve done a pretty good job logging things as they come in, but havenāt even attempted to track them as they get burned.

I've considered making my own or even mirroring a local copy of TobaccoCellar, but I got to a point where I like to hold what I remember that I have mentally, and it becomes a welcome surprise when I dig in and find 5 extra tins of this or that I forgot all about. I also like to dig into the cellar and discover totally forgotten tins or jars I haven't seen in a couple years.

Hadnāt thought about it that way, but I had happy prospector days. |

I am going to be creating an inventory of my ācellarā. Iāve been using a closet thatās in a room on the other side of my primary bathroom. Organization fell apart a while ago and for the past year or so, putting tobacco in or taking it out has become a game of doing what I need to and shutting the door fast enough so I donāt have a tobacco slide. But now Iām having issues with my shower faucets and the access to work on them is in that closet so everything needs to come out. I figure I can record what I have as I put it all back in.
For years I have thought to make a spreadsheet of what I have stocked up. Iāve been relying on memory for a while and itās mostly working, but there are times Iāve bought tobacco thinking I was out of it only to later realize I had a bunch put away. I certainly have tobacco I have completely forgotten about as well. In that sense, I think this could be fun.
