My Tobacco Cellar - what's in there?

Tobacco Cellar

what's in dolomite128's cellar?


A collection of 1970s tins I received a few years back - some fantastic pipe weed!


I've enjoyed some fantastic blends over the years as I started piping back in the early 90s.  If you've read some of my previous posts you'll not several of my recent ancestors have enjoyed smoking pipes and cigars as I do.

I have some unopened tins and a lot of bulk / opened tins in ball jars (4 oz and 8 oz jars).  I find I can keep 2oz tins in the 4oz Ball jars and 4oz of tobacco in the 8oz jars.  Math usually works like that.  if you have 8oz of tobacco you should double the amount and put it in a 16oz jar.

If any of these pique your interest and you're in New England, I'm always happy to trade for craft beer!  Especially Treehouse, Trillium and Hill Farmstead beers.

All of these have been put into jars (as described above) and most have not been opened since.  I'm proud of my own mixtures (Classic Pipe Shop) and would be happy to supply samples if we end up trading.

Most all my loose tobacco is in ball jars sealed tightly to allow the tobacco to rest and age gracefully.  The middle box is blending tobacco for my Classic Pipe Shop blends.


Just logged in everything that I'm not puffing away at, and came up with the following tobaccos:

  1. Hi
    Nice stash of pipe tobacco ...After all this time I assume most of these offerings are gone.
