cellars although that's optional, but where are your cellars located?
Are they in an unused closet, the garage, a chest, or well, cellars?
I keep mine in a spare room which I turned into a home 'Pipe Shoppe'
on wire racks I bought at Costco which are 14x14 and which hold quite
alot of tobacco tinned and canned. In addition I also have a large
chest in the room and a smaller chest.

Yes, my tobacco cellar is actually in my cellar. There is a 4 x 7
foot closet, complete with shelves, located in almost the precise
center of my basement. Other than as an occasional cat jail, I never
found much use for the space until I decided to start stockpiling pipe
tobacco.
Currently, I have about 40 pounds of bulks in wax-sealed jars and
about 150 tins. I'm ready for the apocalypse! (Well, maybe <g>)

Hey Robert. Nice post, this one should bring some interesting answers.
I keep my tobacco in an ice chest in my closet. It's not a very big
collection (yet) but I'm about to run out of room in the ice chest and
will probably have to start using the shelves. I have another ice chest
in there I've converted into a cigar humidor. I lined the walls with
Spanish cedar and made some little shelves. They both do their jobs
quite well. I love opening the closet...the aroma is terrific!

Similar to Robert I have a finished basement with a closet directly
under the stariwell. The area location remains a constant and cool
temperature; ( It where I also cellar my wine). For tobaccos I have
the large Walmart plastic Tubs used for Christmas Ornaments and such.
My bulk tobaccos (approximately 27lbs are stored in a separate tub.
One tub for GLP tins only and the remaining two tubs of varied
manufacture.

My wife "gave" me an entire closet! This was quite a gift, as closets
are precious in our 1950's home. The shelves are almost full and
there are 2 large plastic bins on the floor. Organized properly, it
should be enough space.

Morning Robert:
I have about 1/3 of my large closet devoted to storing my tobacco,
which is 95%
in tins. I currently have almost 64 pounds stored in the "cellar",
which can be viewed

over 20 years ago. The room is is temperature controlled to 64 degrees in
summer and gets down to about fifty in winter. I put two buckets of water in
the room to increase the humidity in the winter. Two floor to ceiling racks
hold my bulks [in 4 and 8 ounce Ball jars] and tinned blends. The other
racks [as well as a plethora of wooden cases stacked on the floor] hold
fermented grape juice. There is usually a bag of apples, potatoes or maybe a
whole watermelon in there too. You'll know where to find me when the shite

Hi Robert,
Mine is stored in a home made cabinet that I once used for stereo
equipment. Not fancy, but it does the job. Space is very limited for
me, so upright storage is a must.

I keep most of my tobacco cellered in the basement. I have the tins in two
of those boxes that copier paper come in and laying about on a three shelf
floor unit behind my dry bar. I also have a large file drawer at work full
of tins. That way, if th stuff hits the fan, wheter at home or at work, I
have tobacco! I think I have 10 lbs at work and around 25 at home.

prepared to shoot my way out than to smoke my way out:) My family and
I live in my wifes Great Grandmothers old 2 story farm house with a
small cellar located in the center of the house. It is where I store
my home brews and the few tins I have purchased for cellaring. I am in
the slow process of converting an old chicken house into my library /
office. It will be where I will store the goods in the future.

1895 house. Damp basement, built in shelves (in when bought house in
'84), always damp, actually TOO damp, baccy must be dried. Seeing that
I only keep open 2oz at a time (1oz each or so of latakia & non-
latakia), the rest in the original tins, if 8oz etc. Never dries out.
At present, 18lbs in both tins/bulk.

Hi Robert,
I cellar my tobaccos, both in the original tins and bulks in 8 ounce
Ball jelly jars, in my cellar / basement in two four-drawer second
hand file cabinets. I keep the BALL jars in their original boxes,
stacked two-high in each drawer. This allows for easy and quick
removal en masse'. One of the eight drawers is reserved for pipe
paraphernalia: pipe cleaners, lighters, lighter fluid, matches,
humidifier disc, Q-tips, etc. Easily accessed, vertical storage void
of light (for the jars) is desirable and the cabinets can be readily
moved with my hand truck. Having said that, I haven't moved either of
the file cabinets an inch since I began loading them with tobacco.

My cellar is none-too-classy: just cardboard boxes on the top shelf in
my workshop. I've got about 20 pounds mostly in tins, but I've been
doing more jarring lately. I am in the midst of designing a display/
storage unit that should house about 30 pipes and an equivalent
poundage of tobac.
