Like the title says, where do cellar your tobaccos? Do you keep them in bins? Cabinets? Drawers? Today I herd the wife say “oh my god” while changing the sheets in the guest room. She found my stash of about 80 tins in the dresser drawer (I hope she doesnt look under the bed to see all the ball jars 😂) She simply told me to find another place to store them. What do you guys do?

Store them in a closet that my wife is not using.

Heavy duty black plastic totes from Walmart hold some of mine. I have a writing desk with 3 large drawers that are full as well. I could clean out the closet and use that but it's too much work.
The totes are sturdy, stackable, and easily portable.

Sure do  same as mine really. About 50 jars of a random assortment. Also, I should add, the totes idea came from Walt. it works out well, if I need to grab my things and go quickly, I can make a few trips and have all my stuff out, rather than 100 tripsm |

I’m storing mine in a repurposed entertainment center in the basement. Excess tins stacked in a CD storage tower.

I'm decellaring. If that's even a word. If it isn't, I just created it. How about that?
Normally I keep a book case full of jars. But I just left a bedbug infested flophouse. I took my jars with me but left the book case. It just wasn't worth bringing them with me. That house was terrible. Landlord lady just didn't care. She didn't have to live there. Ive always preferred houses with live-in landlords and managers.
Now I'm smoking them down. I can't take my cellar with me to thailand. So I stopped buying tobacco last summer and I am just piping away. There's no way I'm going to finish it all. I will leave some at the farm for when I come back to visit. Probably in the actual cellar.

My tobacco nook is 4 shelves of tins/jars. Mostly what I smoke as well as tins I like the look of.
Also have a deep drawer loaded with tins and in my upstairs closet I have two of those plastic 3-drawer-chests brimming with sealed bags of bulk and tins. I also have 2-3 dozen tins in a cardboard box in a closet downstairs.. Problems. Problems...

My basement is my walk-in humidor for cigar and tobacco. My pipes are on the main floor by the wine bar.

Tins and some jars in a hutch in the dining room. Bigger jars in the top shelf of the pantry. Still more jars and tins out in my shop/garage. Various jars laying around other places.

not meant to be a "wise-arse" but store mine in the cellar. Old house, unfinished in basement, always, even in summer, cool & damp. Only bring up about 1oz of anything at a time, most need a bit of drying.

Tins in bins in the mancave closet. Jars in the same location. Everything that I smoke from regularly is in a small cabinet between two armchairs in the mancave.

Yes, yes, and yes.... I have a buffet cabinet that was my wife's grandma's.....fine craftsmanship from the 40's, where the bottom cabinets holds all of the open rotations, or blends in the batters box. For deep storage, I picked up a beater of an old armoire...I think it is 30's British, kinda rough shape that holds all the deep cellared stuff, and the lower compartment goes under the drawers nicely for all the jars of bulk purchases. Storage boxes in the armoire courtesy of USPS.     |

On rack upon rack in two walk-in closets. It's good to be the king and live alone in a large apartment.

Never opened tins are in a small footlocker. Pint and quart size mason jars are locked in one drawer of my filing cabinet. Small 4 oz. mason jars of what I'm currently smoking is in my desk drawer. Since January, I have finished off 12 of the small jars of different tobacco and the empty jars have been cleaned and sterilized and are kept in a covered plastic container waiting to be refilled.

I have my open tins in my closet on the wall. My unopened tins, bulk jars, and bags are stored between my closet and in an armoire in my bedroom.

I've got a Quonset Hut (airplane hanger) with a finished office (man cave) full of tobacco, tobacco Kiln and cigar rolling station.
My whole leaf is kept in cardboard boxes and the jars and tins are in various shelves and cabinets.
This is also where many of my pipes that aren't in current rotation are stored.

Mostly in several quasi-airtight Coleman "coolers" kept in the closet of my home office. The Coleman's are stackable and easy to move.

Heck, with your digs you could set up a tobacco processing facility in that Cadillac of Quonset huts.... you could even bunk Cuban cigar rollers in that place... McDarin’s tobacco company. |
