My philosophy is drop in the cellar and forget about it for 20 years.
In 20 years I might have forgotten that I even have any tobacco!

Looking forward to the pics!One thing I forgot to mention. Another re-purposed item now used for tobacco storage; A tall CD rack, remember CD's? It is a wire stand on wooden "feet" that is ~4.5 feet tall. It is sectioned off in ten sections that each held the same number of CD's lying flat. When I went through the CD's that were there, none of them made the cut, so I have this rack that is headed for the dumpster. Then I realize that a round tin of tobacco will fit quite nicely in the rack. In fact, each section holds four 50g tins or two 100g tins. The rack works just as well, if not better, for tobacco tins than it did for the CD's. It is now "The Tobacco Tower." I find it oddly reassuring to glance over and see it standing there in all its glory. Pics to follow.
I probably have between 35 to 40 lbs., mostly in either unopened tins or mason jars, some in unsealed "tobacco jars" with the ceramic humidifier disks. I just need a system to make location of various blends easier.
Where/how do you get your labels?Funny that this thread came up. Now I jar most of my bulk stuff and that’s a whole other issue. But. All the bagged and tin stuff goes in a Costco bin. Today it hit me to make some labels if what is in each bin. Quick reference for me.

It is possible to become and remain a minimalist. I have smoked a pipe, albeit more as the occasional treat than as a constant companion, since the 1960s. I started with two or three pipes, and although they have changed over the years, they remain today at two. A can of Rattray's, usually Black Mallory or Accountants Mixture, is at hand. The challenge for me is finding the good matches. My Case pen knife is my pipe tool, and being my everyday carry, it is always in my pocket.I’m just getting started, so keeping track of two pipes and three containers of Captain Black is pretty easy.
However, I realize the infection is still in it’s early stages, so I am looking here for help I know I will eventually need.
