Hey Lucky, it beats what I started out with for my cellar for years. Six ounces of Lane 1Q. You have some nice blends there to start out with.

Not a bad start. Rome wasn't built in a day. You will be amazed how quickly the cellar will grow with regular purchases. cheers

I started with much less than you Lucky! The secret is to buy at least one tin a week to cellar away with NO intentions of opening for a predetemined peiod of time.My personal goal is to be able to exclusively smoke tobaccos that are a minimum of 10 years old within the next five years.Most of my cellar dates from 2003-2004 Laughing

Best,
Dock

You're doing great. I started out with some blends that would have made Lucretzia Borgia proud and a couple basket pipes... my tastes have dramatically changed over the last couple years!

Lucky, there's nothing wrong at all with a small cellar to start. You will be surprised at how fast it will grow once you find a few tobaccos that you really enjoy.

Congratulations Lucky...you have a much better cellar than I had when I was a "Noobie". (Back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.)

In addition to Dock's "One tin per week rule", I'll add my personal rule: Never buy one tin of anything. Buy two, and put one away.

Best of luck!

You are starting off just fine!! It will build up faster than you think. I was lucky when I first started. I had a lot more money and spent a lot of it on pipes and a heck of a lot on tobacco. I did start to run out when I got sick but friends took care of that a few years ago. If the bills and the house and the wife are taken care of I spend whats left on pipe tobacco cyclops

(and the trike)
