What Direction?

[grumpy1]

What direction is YOUR cellar going? Ken :tongue:
Pacem en Puffing! :tongue:

In a word: DOWN!

I have but about 15 various blends in mason jars that I dip into now and then but I continue to hoard VaPers and burleys. I want to have enough of my favorites to realx and fall back on when I retire in 2015. Should I be making a cellar for my whisky? Hmmm...

whisky and books, falconer. (god damned kindle/nook pieces of crap are going to rid the world of a nice hardbound book. sickens me. it's the one area where i refuse to keep up with technology. means i'm getting old, i guess.)

as for tobacco, i'm just now discovering what i really like, so there's maybe only a couple blends i have more than a tin of. but you guys have inspired me to buy some mason jars and get busy!

currently sitting on 45+ lbs. spread across 27 blends; Eventually I'd like to pare it down to 10 or 12 blends. have 18 tins of assorted Dunhill blends that were scavenged from local B&M's. when the supply crisis arose, these will be "trading stock" to augment my dwindling supply of Marlin Flake.

 

[Hermit]

I'm adding mostly Virginias and VA/Pers.
I hope to break 200lbs by 2011.

Definitely moving toward English blends again. Opened some 3 yo EMP recently and have been enjoying that. Latakia is in this season, hehe.

My cellar has grown into a good rival for Iwan Ries at this point - tons of variety and enough to last a while.

Reached the phase now where I am building up a bit more stock of my favorites, quite a few of which have been missing from the marketplace for many months - a waiting game I am sure I am not alone in

Careful about which latakia blends I get now, having a 10 or 20 year supply already and fearing the dreaded latakia fade I figure I will have to find some fresh stuff down the road, but quality virginia based blends beware - I am still locked and loaded - Mick McQuaid, you better keep your head down while I'm around

Slowed way down on purchases, having gotten well enough ahead of PACT - here was my last PACT purchase being delivered a few months back...
