My cellar is modest by any standard, but today I achieved a goal...
1 lb. Bengal Slices 1 lb. Captain Black Original 1 lb. Erinmore Flake 1 lb. Penzance
Happy piper!
Mason jars, of course. Yes, I have broad tastes.

Congrats on that, especially the Penzance. I have some Captain Black Grape to trade for it, btw.
My cellar, which is really tubs and pouches all over creation, it really as finished as it could be. I have a hundred + pounds. My online carts are mostly tins of things I want to try, but I am in no hurry to hit the Checkout Button anytime soon

Congrats. I have reached my goal for total cellar amount now which based on current consumption should last until I’m 72. Only very good sale or hard to get baccy is all that I will purchase. I know I know famous last words, but I have been pretty diligent the past 6 months so it is actually doable ...I think....

100 + pds. Starting to thin the herd on EBay while we still can. Thinking of doing same with some pipes that see little or no use. No reason to have perfectly good pipes sitting collecting dust. Including one expertly cleaned Sasieni 8 dot with fishtail logo so pre WWII. I bought it and never smoked it, I need to go to confession for that alone.

I have ten meers and a box full of cobs. I could slide easy with a couple dozen briars, no worries.

Do you have a Tractor Supply store close? I'm guessing not if you're living in the metropolis area, but if you do, they've got great prices on jars. I pick up a dozen of the wide mouth jars there for $9 and change.

YES, that's my usual source! I own some ranch land out on the CA Delta, and there's a TS nearby... local Walmart quite a bit closer...

Great Start! My cellar is full and I've sold close to 5k of it and I'll still never smoke it all. The only tobacco I've bought in the last few years is stuff that I think might have a big upside. IMO the key to building a cellar is first knowing what you like and I'd go deep rather than wide.

We have ranch stores here also, but Walmart is always the cheapest place for Mason jars around here.
From time to time they clearance them out for really cheap, So trot through the clearance aisles... around here, they are over by the entrance to the garden area.
