[QUOTE="gravel, post: 299215, member: 2125"] Many of us do. That doesn't even touch the idea, motivations, or timing of developing a cellar - if you're into such a thing. From what I've observed the motivations are: 1.) Building depth with well liked blends. This is to either form a hedge against price or tax increase or to be prepared for retirement. 2.) Building variety with many blends. 3.) Becoming famous with UPS. Some folks really like that brown box truck delivering their pipe cleaners and a few extras to take advantage of free shipping. 4.) Building with unobtainable blends during rare occurrences when they are available- even without knowing how they will be liked. I bought a pound of aging FVF this way. 5.) Cellars are silly and encourage hoarding. Confession: I have been all of these at one time or another. One thing I miss about the whole is the experience of walking into my B&M, looking over the tins and bulk, buying one or another, and smoking it. When done I bought another. There was a personal connection with the shop staff that doesn't exist (and no longer does exist in my town) when making mass purchases on the internet. [/QUOTE]
