I Swear, I Think I Like Buying and Aging Tobacco More Than I Do Smoking It...

I just placed 4, 2oz Tins of "Cloud Hopper" from Warped/C&D into the aging drawer. I have more tobacco than I will ever smoke. The many tins and the "Jarred" tobaccos that I have is just out of control. Someday I will be retired. Then, I will be able to enjoy my favorite tobaccos. With a shit ton of age on them...

Yeah, but when you get hit by the bus the day after you retire you’ll regret not smoking it up. Or something.

Tell me about it. I just finished year end inventory, without cataloging the small jelly jars and I know there is some box I missed, I am up to 150 lbs

Obviously, you're far from alone. But at least the stored tobacco means we're going to be spoiled for choice for quite a while!

Better to have it and not need it, right?

I envy those with big cellars, but I also don't know what I'd put in a bigger one than I have. This is one of those discussions where I say, "I really miss going into a shop." I do prefer new and unaged tobacco for the most part, but the option of walking into a shop and trying something new on a whim is what I really miss. I'm too minimalist and indecisive to have a cellar of tobaccos so to create my own little shop experience.

With the way things are going its always a good idea to add more leaf to the cellar. But perhaps add some things that will give better results than cloud hopper with some age. Luxury Bullseye flake, Newminster 400, Escudo, Capstan, Orlik Golden Sliced etc if you are after virginia perique blends.

Guilty to a sin myself.

I never thought I would run out of room in my tobacco cabinets, but... I have way too much tobacco
to smoke for the rest of my life!

Before the Dunhill blends ran out I accumulated quite a few yins. Since then I've found other blends that I enjoy more. Come spring I'll send some of the surplus to Pipestud so I can embark on purchasing a new cellar full of tins!

Yeah, I'm sure I have a couple dozen tins of blends I'm unlikely to smoke; I should get rid of them and replace them!

Tastes change. I am prepared.
It's actually fun when they do. Like a senile old guy always meeting new friends.

Put them on here. Maybe something other BoBs would like to try?

I could give some away, but postage would add up, and I'd hate to charge.

Why? If we order tobacco online we pay for it. If you feel like gifting it just ask the person who wants it to pay the postage. I personally would gladly pay 9 or 10 dollars postage for a couple of tins of tobacco.
