I don't mean to brag, but I am easily pushing 5 ounces. 😐
I am lost on what to try. The options are overwhelming and I have only been buying from a local cigar shop.
I will be happy when I find at least a type/style, then I can buy what my budget allows in that category.
I am going tomorrow to see if they have any bulk english blends I can get an ounce of.. I am ready to try and expand my palette.

I have about 6 pounds of unopened, and another 4 or 5 pounds of jarred. Maybe a little bit more. It should last me until I can't light up the pipe anymore. 1 or 2 bowls a day when sitting at home, but usually none when traveling or really busy. I just gave away a pound in the last month of stuff I didn't like. I have some things in my cellar that I will know that the end is near when I open them.
I am going to stock up on a couple of Wilke blends to hold off that day.

Using the famous WAG method (wild arse guess), 100 pds bulk and over 300 tins. My cousin will get some of his inheritance early when he drives up from Virgiania to help me move next month.

Have 52 lbs in my cellar, which will keep me going, I also have about 25 lbs that I use to trade, to keep my cellar full, I only smoke McClelland Stave-Aged so I can get that in many trades as it is not as popular as FMC or 40th anniversary, Nat Sherman and my new favorite Cult!
If you haven't tried Cult Blood Red Moon yet, I highly recommend it!

25lbs - I wont go above that. If I do I give or sell. Right now I am at probably 23 and change.
I smoke 2lbs a year approx. I give away 1lb a year approx. Just did a tally on those two figures since I started keeping track in 2010. LOL

Just did a rough tally and it's 13-14 lbs of jarred bulk, 8 lbs in 75 assorted tins, 3 pounds packaged bulk, and numerous open pouches and tins- 25 pounds is a close enough approximation. Then I came upstairs to tally and saw my McClelland... That's another 7 lbs.
Brings the tally to approximately 32 pounds. haha Not a bad haul for a guy that has been smoking a little under a year and a half.

Rummaging around in my cellar last night, I found 2 pounds of jarred McClellands 2015 that I didn’t know I had, with 2 years age on it.
That was a pleasant surprise.

Same as some people when they find a pipe in a drawer somewhere that they didn't realise they bought. Maybe someday I'm be able to say the same. But if that day comes and my wife finds out, it'll be a shortlived day!! |

And the old memory isn't what it once was (along with other things).  |

I've got enough to last the rest of my life and then some. Not saying how much I've got as you guys would have me committed to an asylum. I have over 37 pounds of McClelland tobacco, so I'm happy about that. Didn't see the closure coming; always figured that they would sell the company to someone who would keep it going. I’ve always find that I feel better when I find someone with a bigger cellar than I do. It’s my turn to make you feel better... I have 1 more pound of McC in my cellar than you do. |

Once upon a time, my cellar was just a 20 to 30 lb aging queue. Then a combination of being a Syrian Lat fan boy, a McC fan boy, an aged straight Va fan boy, and the FDA caused my cellar to really grow. I’ve made the top ten on TC with a little under 150 lbs, but never intended to make top ten and don’t plan to stay there as I have no significant plans of adding to my cellar and am looking forward to smoking it down.
